Zarniwoop 1193 Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) Hello there, To clarify: I know some of what I'm suggesting is already planned, but hey I'm bored so here goes. Along with all the high end items being added to the game, I'd like to see a lot more craftable equipment, out of stuff that can easily be found around houses, barns and dumpyards (make dumpyards and dustbins spawn something!). I like to hope all the high end stuff will be toned down quite a bit, making crafting integral to surviving another day in the wild. I'm not talking only about weapons such as spears, bows etc but also medical and other miscelaneous equipment. The craftable "backpack" is an awesome example of the direction this game is taking, hopefully going to be more important in future. I think this is the exact one they used as reference by the way. Here's a list of items I'd like to see that have a use, not just as junk items. :P Plus some extra stuff. Improvised Blood Transfusion Bottle http://i.imgur.com/2B9EnVt.jpgImprovised stretcher (and military made variant) to carry wounded players around in. Wrapping rigid/plastic clothing items such as rain coats around broken limbs, made better with adding sticks. A better splint than the one atm that is made with rags. Please Rocket mabe it will be possible in future to see such items on the player model? :rolleyes: http://nols.blogs.com/.a/6a00d83451b4f069e2017d3c37299d970c-piImprovised wire saw/garotte, used to cut wood and saw other stuff in 2. Can be used as a garotte when you have snuck up behind someone, and starts an animation. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6ECtCYHak8I/UVieigEqqDI/AAAAAAAACok/GEDNa6_dAzY/s1600/05%2Bwire%2Btwisted%2Binto%2Bsaw.JPGImprovised gas mask made from an empty plastic bottle, tape and a sterile mask which is already in game. http://cdn.instructables.com/FA9/MQVR/GUS74XON/FA9MQVRGUS74XON.LARGE.jpgEdit: Wetting a cloth with urine and applying to face against infection/airborne deseases.Alternate water purification and collection system. Collecting rain (or not) water (via open bottles left in the rain or corrogated metal sheets that let the water run into buckets on either side) and purifying without purification tablets. http://thesurvivalmom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Picture-11.png (carried on the outside/top of the backpack like Rocket mentioned he wants to do) Can also be done with a bottle and rags which is easier to carry about.Other types of improvised backpacks such as a watertight variant http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3772/10983877226_c28ae79516_c.jpg made from a raincoat and rope/wire. Current one can also be made into a watertight version if wrapped in a raincoat. Also another improvised backpack made from blankets and rope. http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu235/brosenbr/Outdoors%20and%20bow%20staves/BabyCelies1stBirthday192.jpgBits of scrap metal (mabe also used to reinforce cars) can be used to hold a pot over an open fire. http://cdnpix.com/show/imgs/20893ce7b9c676aab1a196341d717fe4.jpgImprovised compass, made with the needle from the sewing kit. http://survival.outdoorlife.com/files/photo/1001335546/PA221275.jpgTherefore make everything rarer!! Improvised equipment shuld be the future! :P Also this. Please feel free to post more, and discuss. Regards Edited February 10, 2014 by Zarniwoop 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lupine 14 Posted February 10, 2014 Yeah Ducktape's kind of wasted just wrapping up ammo magazines.. In Australia its called "100 mile an hour tape" after it was used in the Bathurst races to "tape" back car pannels onto race cars.. you knew it could handle up to 100 mile and hour, then come loose again ;) hence the name. I still want to be able to craft a home made ghilli suit .. piles of rags and green, black and kaki spray paint and a sewing kit mixed with hunter pants and a hoddy should do it.. :D 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
