Sheets

Recommended Posts

Sheets that you are able rip in to rags or sew in to a bag or make in to threads, the threads you can then make twine out of, twines you can make rope out of. the twine should be used for all things you can use the rope for, like making a bow or a improvised backpack.

Maybe we could make different kinds of bows some that are better then others, some that are made out of ashwood and twine or ashwood and rope and some out of hazelwood and twine or hazelwood and rope. Arrows with feathers and metal or flint rock tips, or just an arrow out of a sharpened stick. We should also be able to make a bow drill to start a fire. We could make thread a thing you need to be able sew, and combine sewing kits with some thread, and make leather thread a thing you have to have to use the leather sewing kit. The bow should be have its own shoulder spot so you can carry it with a rifle.

There should be sheets in DayZ that you are able to rip up to create rags, or with a sewing kit, craft a bag or split down into threads. The threads can be used to make twine. You can then make rope out of the twine. The twine will then allow you to use it as a substitute for rope; It can be used to make a bow or an improvised backpack. 

 

Maybe we could make different kinds of bows, having some of them superior to others based on materials. Some could be made out of ashwood and twine, maybe ashwood and rope, and maybe some out of hazelwood and twine or rope. Arrows with feathers could be crafted, but some could have either metal or flint stone tips for different damage, or simply a sharpened stick could be used as well. 

 

We should also be able to make a bowdrill in order to start fires. Threads could have a sewing function that would allow you to combine the thread with sewing kits to make leather threads, an item that will require a leather sewing kit. 

 

The bow should be carried on your shoulder like a rifle.

Sounds more like he was suggesting that the bow should have its own separate shoulder slot, so a rifle and a bow can be carried at the same time.

 

Don't think I'd oppose that. The bow should be considered more of a tool than a weapon. It might encourage players to use bows more often, especially if ammo is scarce. They'd certainly use it for hunting and zombie killing, and in PvP if they had to.

 

The idea of multiple arrow and bow types is interesting. I think bows would have to be used more often to justify making a more complex system, however. At the very least I'd like improvised arrows to be less effective (if only marginally) than composite arrows.

 

The bedsheet idea is very good. Maybe even allow a different improvised backpack to be crafted from just a sheet. The capacity should be minuscule, like a child's backpack or even less, but it makes sense to be able to tear up bedsheets for rags, rope and some other uses. One bedsheet should make 6 - 8 rags or 1 rope.

Thank you both for your translations, It didn't hurt my confidence at all. I will have to look at my wording more critically from now on. 

 

In my defence i am from from Denmark and English is my second language.

 

I am very happy you liked my suggestions, thanks again.

I hope one day we can also put sheets over windows to block light from the inside (ala zomboid) Obviously something like this wouldn't be to useful until we have this new renderer that will hopefully make light obey objects/buildings.. but yes regardless sheets should hopefully be a tangible thing in game one day in the future for multiple purposes as one would imagine.
