Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

How long have you played, and on what settings? Could I maybe give your copy a try and see if it's something I'm doing that's triggering it?
I ran a game for about a year, though I did nothing but walk around and cut fuel, and everything is set on the easiest settings(except game duration, which was set to 5 years). I'd send you it, if I knew a way to.

Thanks, I'll check it out when I get home. I've had mine running on easiest settings plus 2 year survival. It's wayyy too easy - maybe I'll try some harder settings and see if the bug goes away. This game really appeals to my packrat nature, but I take quite a hit when all my hard-saved resources simply disappear overnight. Especially food, if you don't have a handy source of more (especially veggies - meat is easier to find in my experience).

Ahh, Burntime. I spent countless hours on the Amiga, trying to convince my friends it was a good game.
It isn't really, but it has a certain charm and is fun enough, game will get repetitive at some point and if I remember correctly you can't actually win the game in any way.

This is a niche market that few people are trying to fill, and none of them very well imo.

UnrealWorld is probably the best one, but it's too easy to survive in and doesn't have a whole lot to do once you have a cellar full of food. And getting that cellar full of food is pretty trivial if you know what you're doing. It can be fun if you set challenges for yourself to make the game more difficult, but even then theres only so many times you can run out naked into the woods in the middle of winter and survive (or slaughter an entire njerpez camp single handedly with nothing but your battleaxe) before that stuff becomes boring too. I have a lifetime license though so I expect I'll come back to it more in the future (I've played it on and off for years, hah), if only because there just isn't anything else comparable.

Go ahead. And you don't have to reinstall it, my mod comes with the exe.

P.S. And for once, pay attention to your own channel :D.
I've played stranded II (vanilla) quite a bit, but I must be missing something in your mod.  I start, something invisible starts hitting me, I die 1 min later, looking at a sandy beach.  What am I doing wrong?

EDIT LOL nevermind.  I forgot that in SII, full meters can be good or bad, depending on which meter they are.

It's a "feature". You are sleepy as hell, so you have to sleep in the beginning.
This way some time passes and many stuff is generated (like jungle, or some fruit drops). I use a lot of randomly generated stuff.

Also make sure you pick up the stuff on the shore, in crates and underwater. I am not sure if it's possible for a sane person to "play" it without starting tools.
