Add player suicide

Post by DeadMG »

TL;DR
Add a button where the player dies and respawns on Nauvis.
Why?
I've seen quite a few players who get stuck on other planets. I know that it's possible to restart from scratch on any of them, but this seems like a pretty long process at best. On Gleba you also have Pentapods attacking you when you're trying to set up. Therefore I think some kind of escape hatch for this situation would be worth adding to the game. The simplest option would be a button you can press to die and respawn on Nauvis.

There is some potential for players to abuse it to get home when they don't really need to, but, SE has such a button and it's almost never used that way. This is in no small part because the player has to leave behind all their items, armour, etc when using it. Therefore the player is strongly incentivised not to use it as a cheap way to dodge travel logistics, but rather, only use it when it's really preferable to just give up on a certain expedition.

Yes please! The possibility to get softlocked on Aquilo doesn't seem right, even if you could teleport yourself out with the editior.
