Sanity rating

I know that the title sounds like a copy of dont starve but it is different,

(not sure what topic to put this under sorry)

i think that players should get a sanity bar with ten points, 

if it reches zero you get loads of phantoms appear and get visions of mobs appearing that if hit they dissapear and take away 1 health point, 

if it is at 1 you get lots of few phantoms and flashes of mobs very occasionally,

if it is at 2 you get quite a few phantoms, and a very small chance of visions

if it is at 3 a few phantoms, and a very small chance of visions

if it is at 4 very little phantoms and a very small chance of visions

if it is at 5 up to 9 a very small chance of visions

if it reaches 10 you get a boost in xp earned and health regen speed

the ways you would lose sanity would be,

not sleeping at night:  -1 sanity

dying: -1 sanity

hitting visions: -1 sanity

the ways you couldn gain sanity would be

sleeping: +1 sanity

walking pets: +0.5 sanity every 2.5 minutes (stacks over time)

you could also have something that stops you from losing sanity or makes you lose it slower like an item or clothes

another idea is potions so you could have a potion of sanity or a potion of insanity (not sure what the ingredients would be)

Hope readers enjoyed my idea! 

:D

  Yes I want a sanity bar. They should add more monsters that appear when insane. The lower your sanity the harder the mobs that spawn. At zero sanity you get a boss mob. 
  
  

  not sleeping, dying, sitting in the dark for long periods of time, eating rotten flesh could all lower sanity.

   

  I would suggest it lowers just half a point from not sleeping. 5 points from dying. At 9 sanity you start seeing your first mobs but they’re neutral. At 7 they become hostile. Each point lower new types of mobs spawn.

  Instead of a bar there could be a screen effect that indicates your sanity.

  You start getting little red veins on the edges of the screen to represent blood shot eyes.  Next stage they get a little bigger, then again a third time.  Fourth stage the veins start turning black, 5th stage further black, 6th stage fully black.  Final stage the veins cover a larger area and your vision gets dark.  You've completely lost all sanity.

  A way to increase sanity could be a new “meal” to cook. This would give different foods new uses. Mixing different meats/vegetables/fruits could give different meals with different affects like raising your sanity, giving buffs, while also raising hunger, health and maybe potentially other things like thirst (If that were added to the game)

  Because a good meal makes everyone feel better.
