My idea is to add visual effect for abandoned bases. For now once we find camp. we always wonder if someone uses it or not. Few indications of that are spoiled food in fridge, unharvested crops, wilted crops, unfueled flingomatics and so on. But how cool would it be if we could see entire bases covered in moss, completly abandoned, taken over by nature?
Let's say every object in the game would become covered in moss over time if not used by anyone. Unused campfire, science machines, unused tent, abandoned farms. Every object would have timer on it which would be reset each time someone uses it and start going from the beggining. So let's say after 10 days something starts to be covered in moss, after 20 days it's covered even more and after 30 days it's entirely covered in moss and plants. Such object would have to be "cleaned" with one interaction before it can be used again.
I think this would add a lot credibility to the world of dst, seemingly just visual feature.
I got this idea while watching snow slowly cover all objects and terrain, so I thought it would be possible to do similar thing but with moss etc.
