I never eat canned or looted foods. The LongHorn currently being carried Is to make a demo video the next time i spot something worth shooting ( requested by someone ) And the beginning of this trip i was actually packed with veggies and meats , Coastal runs for netting is always a exercise in endurance . I dont bother with axes, most of the time my fires are from sticks. The gas cans your right about.. i tend to lug around some luxery items occasionally Plan to ditch the rifle and 9mm once I reacquire my VSS that i had on 3pp servers... And will ditch the back pack once i have fully ghillie again...

Never seem to have on the right back back when i find one . Havent found one in a shed since early 58 Like I said, unicorn items The entire post was meant kinda as a joke.

Or ... you know , take responsibility for your own safety, and disable suicide in the keybinds until you really want it ... just saying.. save the devs a little work... Btw its F11 then Left mouse Click.. Not just F12 =Dead...

Got to thinking about it today ... A few items I have not seen since 59 hit stable Has anyone found Frying pan netting that wasn't given to you by a duper ? Working red dot optics ( crossbow , fnx sights ) That camo vest ( Assault vest i think) USMC woodland camo pants

No jackets yet i dont think , Figured out today , that Crossbow red dot no longer works on Long horn . It mounts , just wont light up like it use to . Put it on a crossbow , and it works just fine

little known fact, "accidental death" is hidden deep in the code , and tied to things like Ladders, Stairs and rocks Every Time you walk across one , You have like a 0.002% chance of falling down and breaking your leg or neck The numbers change occasionally , but its always been there . it sucks, but that's life, accidents happen . If you seem to be a bit clumsy , try slowing down a bit and walking more .

Even if I have to wait till modding.. I will have my human flesh face mask , and human ear necklace . We should have always been able to harvest their rotten meat and bones . Was able to in the mod at least . THe zombie meat could i guess be used as some sort of bait or poison when force fed to someone . Forgot all about brain tanning . That would work very well .

A few ideas I had would be dependant on other things eventually being added I'll list off a few for kicks , Starting with Antlers - I would like to harvest Deer Antlers to make rattles To attract males closer for archery hunting -Elk and Deer antlers once harvest could be a cheap mans melee weapon ( same code as say the hay hook ) -Once carved they would make nice Improvised knife handles -The large elk antlers could be used in the crafting of improvised shelters, maybe as a type of upgrade Furs I would like to be able to collect the furs off say Rabbits, foxes , sheep, bears ,wolves for winter clothing Feathers are already in use for archery arrows, so that's good .. Just need Turkeys and some ambient birds Cow and deer leather could be used for the crafting of leather saddles once we have horses . Would add quivers to the leather making options , as well and better clothing and backpacks . Right now they are some of the worst gear that takes the most effort to make .... You really should be able to make advanced versions of them on par with M65 jackets, and Military pants. Colors also need some attention... badly Head or at least antler mounts once bases or houses are implemented ( models already exist for wall mount and bear skin rug) Maybe even complete taxidermy mounts for decorations and decoys Guts, bones , blood and meat scraps , could be used as bear and wolf bait , Also later , pet food for companion dogs Mouflon ram horms could just be used as loud ass horns that could be heard for miles, to signal friends . Hedge hogs i guess could be thrown as zombie decoys ? lol Thats about all I can really think of at the moment lard for candles and soap. I would also like to see Biodiesel implemented as a primary means of gathering fuel for vehicles. Berries for Jam and jelly once recipies gets worked in Would also be nice to see a more realistic amount of meat come off of a large animal , For example you kill a cow , you get four large legs That you could not fit into your inventory, would have to carry in your hands back to camp, that could then be chopped down into smaller steaks, for cooking. Would take a group or a couple trips to lug all the meat back to a safe spot, and it would last much longer. The butcher knife could then be used to chop into smaller steaks, THe meat hammer to tenderise it for fast eating , and the other knives to make it into stews and such .

There are 3 stages to every cooked meat , and two types of "cooked " The 3 stages ( change skin textures ) are Raw , Cooked, Burnt ( rotten was removed at some point or I haven't let meat sit long enough to see it again ) Depending on How you cook your meat, ( ie pan/pot vs Stick and fire ) Will change its Cooked texture to either a shiny glossed Fried look , or a dried smoked look. When cooking fish , as far as I'm aware, It will not cook in a cooking pot. I have tried many times, If i'm not mistaken , the fish will not even heat up while in a pot. The only way I have been able to cook it since 0.58 has either been on a stick or in a frying pan. While everyone else in 0.58 got sick every single time they touched meats. I lived completely off it , and never got sick. Same continues into 59.. I suspect that the Devs might have even slipped in a immunity system to those that live for long periods of time, and stay healthy continually . This single character I have now for example has been alive since 59 hit stable, and I have recently started eating worms and guts, without getting sick . Some of my preferred recipes Chicken and Rice with tomatoes (very filling ) Pork Chops and fried apples Fried fish with Canina berries Good ol steak and baked potato ( Super rare this time of year ) And of course venison with Baked Beans Dried pumpkins can make for a decent on the go snack , Peaches can be a decent desert when available Just don't forget the occasional banana to prevent cramps

Agree , shoulder /holster your weapon , or keep it lowered Shouldn't be running or walking around with your gun fully raised anyways . Looks weird . TO go from lowered to firing , you either have to double click or hold down in cases of full auto weapons...

anyone happen to have them these items on 1pp public , let me know ....

You can make a improvised knife from a stone you can pick up off the ground . That same knife can be used to Cut rags , cut large sticks , skin animals , and dig for worms. Actually the best knife in the game as far as durability goes. The stick can then be used as your Bow ( ranged weapons , infinite ammo supplies, dead silent ) Melee Stick , or add bone to make long spear Or fishing rod, Or once done with it , cut into small sticks for the fire to cook said meats . two stacks of 6 rags for a total of 12 can be combined to make a rope. Can make rags from nearly any clothing , Raincoats give you 5 or 6 at least if you divide up all the armbands before cutting them into rags. . So there are several actually several ways to get rope without looting for it directly . The very first thing I do when I spawn in as a new character , is make a knife and cut a long stick . As soon as I have collected enough rags or found a rope I make a bow and some arrows for protection and hunting. As soon as i find some wire or a hook , I go fishing and trapping to feed my guy until fully green . Apple trees keep me alive until then . This is the first 10-20 minutes of every new characters life. Future fishing rod

Only found USMC desert so far. Found plenty of pristine FNX and crossbow scopes, but when i add a good battery to them , no dots show

umm... Netting + Wire = Fish trap PET water bottle + knife = fish trap Bone = hooks or arrows Fishing hooks..are everywhere Rope +stick= rod Rope =Common Guts + long stick = rode Rode made from Guts broken down will give rope. ONE Wire + stick = rabbit Rabbit =guts + bone =Hook + rope + long stick =unlimited fish So while looting all you have too look for is either a fish hook,wire.PET water bottle or netting Which are mostly all very common Alternatively , you can shoot an animal or player for more bones ... Soon I hope we can also gut zombies for these same materials Fishing is one of the easiest ways to acquire food aside from apple trees and picking berries . And far faster than gardening The only practical alternative to making hooks from Bones or using looted hooks . Would be spear fishing, archery fishing ,gill nets, and explosives. Granted one could also argue using stun baton and cattle prods to shock fish , which would also work . A hook made from a sewing kit would not be ideal for a few reasons The steel used in needles is very thin and would bend out very easily on large fish . Do not have the barb end to prevent fish from spitting the hook out. And the Thicker needles tend to break rather than bend properly . ( tried this in my youth) Now In reality for survivalist , You can craft decent hooks from thorny plants, bird bones ,hell you basically only need half a toothpick. Those options have basically all been implemented into the game for now as placeholders with the bone hook, I'm sure once modding comes out someone , if not myself will take them a few steps further . What actually needs to be reworked is the text based fishing method... THAT junk gets on my last nerve

You can cook fish just fine. You just can't boil them in a pot. In order to cook fish properly , You need a frying pan with animal lard in one of the 4 slots. Cooked on A indoor fireplace, gas camping stove, or fireplace barrel with the lid closed. Alternatively , you can also smoke/dry the fish by cooking them over an open fire on a long stick.

How do you post videos on here where they show rather than just the link

Still looking to trade for a VSS and more importantly , Netting on 1pp server

any and all sheds, and sometimes houses , Also a rare off chance to get a unique one out of cereal boxes

Grab a compass and run directly south , just stay southbound , you will get there in under 15 minutes, Far faster than trying to find someone to taxi you ,

f11 will instantly teleport you down to the coast

So last night before work I decided to take the advice of every pretty lady I have met recently and got lost . Took the gauntlet run up the coast looking for netting , which I of course have yet to find since .59 hit. Once i hit the north east corner I just ran blindly for a while before I logged off . This morning I got on and started heading westward. Found a small little Summer camp with a inground pool I'm not sure if I have ever seen before. Did a little fishing and continued on my journey. Not too long afterwards I came across a little backwater town and decided to explore a little. I have no clue where I am at this point. Its shortly after sunrise now . And by a small pond I spot a herd of Elk just waking up . In the video you will see where I attempted to do a double kill shot with the blaze, but even though I did mess up and aimed too high , I somehow still shot the female and not the male ? Either the bullet dropped over 12 inches in under 100m , or something about the female being in front , forced the hit on her rather than my actual target ? I cant really figure this one out, and decided to post the vid on the off chance someone else has seen anything like it before Sorry i dont remember the code to get the images to show properly

gutting a body should throw all gear onto the ground for just this type of reason

Jesus dude who said anything about Actual real morals and values ? Some people have set rules they like to role play by, Rather it be a pysico killer, or that vegan that is stuck surviving off the land eating nothing but apples and grown crops.. Their are a million ways to play. So we cant judge or talk trash about anyones chosen path really.. *FYI ,, **This will add to the ambiance as well as cause some players to have to think about how they feel about shooting a calf or killing its mother . ** it blows my mind that out of that long ass post, THIS one little line is what you trolls decide to focus on and go off on stupid ass rants about ? Talk about hijacking someone's post and going way the hell off topic.....

Killing people is different from killing animals. If you can't differentiate between the two, then there is something wrong with the wiring in your brain. Meat is meat in a survival situation. In the apocalypse I would likely be more prone to killing people over animals simply due the the abundance and removal of competition and threats . Much like culling the wolf population near residential areas, Is the "You should feel bad for killing baby animals" shtick coming from the guy that just murdered a dude and ate him? Really? Priorities, man. I never said you Should feel bad about it , i added that as a possibility because SOME people might have issue with it . The female player or the 12 year old squeaker who has to kill and eat a puppy just to prevent starvation.. might find some small shame in the act.. who knows As an aside, I fully understand that these are pixels, not real people or animals. who doesn't ?

You realise just how ignorant that comment makes you sound ? Get use to it man , a game like this has already and will continue to attract a lot of role players. Not to mention its player morality that makes the game interesting. It's the difference from between that guy just shooting your female character and taking her gear. And this guy from handcuffing you , dragging you off into the woods, stripping off your clothing . and making you do humiliating things to spare your life. Its morality and mentality that decides rather I simply let someone walk by unharmed , or torture them to death with poisons , or burn them alive with camp fires . If someone wants to have to make a choice between starving to death or eating human flesh , or a puppy . Then that just adds to the immersion of the ugly post apocalyptic life. To ignore or dismiss that aspect of the game , is really just limiting your experience and cheapens the game for yourself,
