DURRHUNTER 597 Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) Simply put, you should be able to light a fire inside a fireplace in a homestead. With barricading starting to begin, this could be a way to make a place to get warm and store gear..Edit; as of .58EXP patch this feature I now in DayZ. I would like to thank everyone that contributes and supported my idea. Thank you so much! Happy camping in your shack in the woods!

threedogification 41 Posted November 19, 2014 DEVS LISTEN UP TO THIS SHIZ.This is the best idea I've seen in a while, and I've wanted this for a while. Why would we have unusable fireplaces in most houses? And to add on, we can cook more food in larger fireplaces and less in small ones, so if I barricade a large house with a large fireplace, my squad and I can potentially live there indefinitely 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conrad_The_Comrade 577 Posted November 19, 2014 Best idea I've heard in ages. Now I want this xD Curse you for making me wait for more stuff, you horrid person. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shadaboot27 7 Posted March 19, 2015 Some houses in Day Z have fire places in them with a chimney going out the roof. You should be able to make a fire in there instead of doing it on the floor. Once barricading is implemented it would be cool to be able to find a house and make it your own to live in by boarding up the windows, locking the door, making fires in the fire place and cooking food on it. Then we can live in houses we find instead of tents. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cash81 506 Posted March 19, 2015 Agreed. Would be cool to come across a little house in the woods to call your own. Since, really, youd rather sleep in a perfectly good house than out in a tent when infected and bandits are roaming around lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoveAffair 329 Posted March 19, 2015 Yes and at least the house will still be there after Wednesday :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadaboot27 7 Posted March 19, 2015 Also, instead of finding food and clothes randomly scattered everywhere, you should also be able to look inside fridges and cupboards for food, wardrobes for clothes and not only should you be able to find things in them you should be able to put things in them, the same way you put items in a tent. Then you can turn any house into an awesome base. Store your food in the cubourd, store spare clothes in the wardrobe, make a fire in the fire place, how awesome would this be?! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damnyourdeadman 1045 Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) This is something i have been wanting for a looooong time now...It's a time forsaken feature,but nevertheless part of the devs to do list. Edit: On second thought,i think it's part of the features waiting for the new renderer before implementation.They could as well go ahead with it now,but then light leaking out of the structure would be an undesirable effect.

SpoonsandForks 78 Posted March 19, 2015 They have been throwing around the expression "world containers" somewhere in the roadmap. Q2 i believe, and i think that is a prerequisite for being able to make it happen.I wouldn't be surprised if it is somewhere in the plans, along with base building and barricading. Here's to hoping.

Santa fox 53 Posted March 19, 2015 Never thought about this, to be honest. But I really like the idea! should definately be added. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doctorbadsign 645 Posted March 19, 2015 Really cool idea. It would be so much more realistic to survive in an existing building using it's existing facilities than to build your own out of plywood. The Epoch base building was fun and all, but really it makes no sense. I would never waste valuable calories building a huge base from scratch using salvaged materials, I'd just do up an existing house and maybe put a fence around it or something...

atempleton 123 Posted March 20, 2015 This would be nice. A nice little shack in the woods and use lockpicks to protect yourself from someone ambushing your camp. Would be nice to basically turn a lodge into a safehouse for survivors and go hunting, grow some crops and make a base out of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jex 1104 Posted March 20, 2015 I tried this once thinking the devs would have put it in so was disappointed but yes, make the fireplaces useable and not only that but the stoves as well if they are wood burning ones. Can we also have animations for sitting in chairs and then finally, I want slippers and a pipe and I think I'm set :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Vampire Lestat 3 Posted March 23, 2015 Love it! There's no telling how many times I've gotten into a house soaking wet on a rainy day in this game. Maybe make it where it could attract zombies and other players as a cost though. I got the idea of it attracting zombies from a perceived plot hole in 28 Weeks Later.
