Update -  

 I am seriously wondering is adding RSP is "worth it" or not to add food/drink into STalker Arma2 play?  

 unlike DayZ code/system ... there's no health benefits for eating, and more or less RSP just adds in more things to do and keep track of.

Medkits and Antirads are about the only real "health regen" in the Stalker mods already.  

 real Survival Pack, adds in basically things like, eating, drinking of course, but also hunting and cooking/making fires.  
  But will that ... distract from actual play, or add to it?  I'm not 100% sold on it yet.  

 I keep wondering if I should do a MGB ( base building) included?  
  If so, it's just kind of "novelty" to do ... it would take a long time ( after I edit the scripts varibles) for players to actually build even a small base , because they'd have to generate some income first.

 I think, visiting a Stalker camp or Neutral area ... , besides merchants/traders ... would render such places null and void if players built their own base, and outfitted it to.  

 However, ... we all know base building is fun in itself ...  so I dunno.

 The Trader I have , is aggravatingly all action menu based , outdated and old ...
But i can't find a better one available to plug and play and use.  

 I'm seriously thinking about maybe, about putting weapon/supply stashes around the map, and removing trader capability ...  this would also mean, base building wouldn't work, as you couldn't really get money with-out buy/sell feature of a trader.  
 But my reasoning is as follows:
1- arms, guns/ammo ext ... are NOT hard to find or come across in Stalker Games.  Maybe, the "best gear/guns" are gotten through quest or late game play ... , but honestly ... it's not hard to find any weapons in Stalker CoP that are decent.  
2- Much easier to find/use stashes , than it is to fix the trader/menu to reflect and use the STALKER items.

 I dunno though ...  I'm at one of those crossroads of indecision.
