Technofirma Rebalance

Let's talk about food and sleep.

The current Better Sleeping mod (I think that's what's causing it at least) is kinda a disaster: People fall over and sleep on the ground, but this counts as a sleep event for everyone and advances time, but doesn't let them rest. Result, all my food has rotted away to nothing, crops everywhere are only seeds, it is impossible to stay fed, and I'm drinking water so fast I run out of clay jugs. Each time one person sleeps, time advances, and everyone then sleeps one after another. Everyone gets the full penalties of everyone else's sleep. I don't think that's how it is supposed to work.

Likewise, trying to actually use a bed results in "You can only sleep at night" or "You don't feel tired right now" ... unless you're completely dead tired AND it is night.

The Berth recipe change seems very harsh to new players. Beds as-always require a saw; berths were a beautiful low-tech alternative for people just showing up, and now they are rather late-game. (Or is there some magic way to smelt clay using tfc tools?)
