remove eruption timer info + random time#76

im a hardcore difficulty player but knowing when eruption take place makes the game too easy

i wish an additional option in difficulty settings to disable the info

then we get alerted only by rumblins and shaking close to eruption and need shocked run to next safe zone is much more interresting gameplay

Agreed

Instead of just having it on or off add a option to have a watch on your characters wrist to keep track of time but also make the eruptions random lengths, say anywhere between every twenty to thirty mins the volcano can go off, just add in the rumbling and minro earth quakes to let people know its getting close.

Ooh, I concur with the idea of optional unknown and somewhat randomed timer would make for a nice bit of intensity.

I agree - the difficulty levels could adjust the shortest time between eruptions, but it would always be random (definitely keep the Drillship klaxon in there for a 1 minute warning to be sure the panic factor remains high!)

what if we need to deploy a module that will put a prrob in the ground to enable advanced detection.

I think the timer is outdated already. If you want to check the time till the next eruption, you could always check your bracer. This timer is a cool feature, but it’s useless unless you remove the hud timer.
