When you pause the game, while the world around you pauses, your person continues to hunger and thirst. I paused the game to go help my husband, and when I got back I was dead and lost 3 days worth of work because I died of thirst while paused.

Don't buy Winzip. Go to http://download.cnet.com/7-Zip-64-bit/3000-2250_4-10905593.html and get a program called 7zip. It is free, and works perfectly.
Hey guys... Great concept. I look forward to testing out the changes as improvements are made. I have been playing this for about a week now and have run through 4 games in total. Here is what I see so far:
1. I currently have 7 chests on my raft. I fully stocked them all with ropes, wood, and food. I saved the game and logged out for about an hour. When I logged back in all chests were completely empty.
2. If you fall into the water by a net, you can actually get stuck in the net, preventing you from getting back on the raft and killing you.
3. (I like this bug, but it is kinda cheaty...LOL) You can fish anywhere at all. 3rd floor from the middle of the room... no problem! Just drop your line. I also noticed that the length of time you wait to cast the line has no impact on the speed of the fish you catch. I assume that cast timer will have some sort of future meaning.
4. Potato crop plots will occasionally glitch, preventing 2 of the potatoes from being harvested. The only fix is to remove the floor to destroy the plot and rebuild it.
Side note ideas:
I am not sure how the game is put together, so these are just ideas to help the gameplay as you are developing this.
I'd add more types of fish, and make the health you get from eating the fish dependant on what kind you caught, to encourage people to spend more time and think over fishing a bit.
I'd recommend adding some sort of Jelly fish or other type of catchable items that can be made to dye things assorted colors, so people can really customize.
Add illnesses that can come from things like getting too low on water too often, and make meds that show up from time to time in the barrels, or some sort of effect from sea life you catch and consume. Scurvy is a good one... but you'd have to add something to the barrels like plantable oranges, as that's caused by lack of vitamin C.
Add a small cooking station like a little counter area where you can make meals that give more health than normally eatten foods.
A panning camera ability so you can cam out and around your build as it grows.
More things to build... We need furniture. Beds, tables, chairs, little plants you can pot for decor, or perhaps other veggies.
Give the ability to destroy things like water and cooking stations. *Currently to remove them I have to remove the floor they sit on.
The ability to raise or lower the sounds the shark makes. He is VERY hard to hear, and I'd love to turn him up at will.
Seagulls or other waterbirds. That should be a thing.. and you should be able to kill and eat them (Bow and arrow maybe?) And even better... you get lonely. if you could tame a bird to keep you company, that would be so much fun!
Ability to rename. Things like the storage should permit renaming so you can label them by contents.
FYI: I have the game on the highest graphics. I have Windows 10, an i7-4785T CPU, and 16GB of memory
