OK a few common beginner mistakes were made here. Luckily I'm happy to help a fellow crafter out. Here's how I make my clothing the bushcrafters way. First you will need to find a barrel of course . Which is the center of your camping lifestyle. And a bunch of wire. You will also need a couple pristine sewing kits . Set your barrel up near a water source around 150 meters away is ideal , You may need to put more water in the barrel during this process. Set out all your rabbit snares .run 100+ meters away from the rabbit traps, down to the water , make a garden plot., then go back to check and see if you caught any rabbits. Ifso , skin and gut them, Save the meat, guts and hides in the barrel , reset the traps . Return to your plot , plant the seeds and water them , ( this will take about 15 minutes to grow. Go back and check your traps again . Keep setting them until they are all ruined. Hopefully in this time you have collected plenty of pelts and guts. From your garden , you need the Plant Material left over from each crop. COntinue this until you have about half the barrel full of guts and the other half full of 100% plant material . ( this is not an exact science) Close the lid and make yourself some "fertilizer" You should get a couple bags out of these materials. Once you have those white bags. Drop in your raw hides Close the lid and tan leathers. you should get a couple nice stacks of leather . Take those sewing kits , and make everything you wanted. Once the clothing is made, Take one item at a time. put in barrel , Fill all remaining slots with dark oak tree bark. Close lid , tan hides, rinse repeat till all clothing is done. You should now have a fully crafted leather outfit. And the pride of knowing you made it all yourself. Next we take the barrel and use our axe to punch holes in it . Build a fire inside and cook up all that meat and veggies we had left over. Congrats you now have a fully crafted set of clothing , and a full belly to boot. All thats left is to head to the coast to get a few netting to make yourself a proper hood and covering .

Someday I do hope to see more realistic hunting with a bow. But that's a long ways off sadly. We would need of course changes to animal hitbox and the ability for them to be able to bleed out. But would also I guess need tracking mechanics , and probably even game calls to lure them in. Also stealth would have to work properly So things like Camo and ghillie suits would play a role. Currently I think its basically Stance and Noise that only work . Would also love to see the ability someday to bow fish. If you look online , sadly their are so few hunting simulator games that are even barely considered half decent . Its odd that DayZ is already on par with the best of them . The only game I can think of that had slightly better hunting emersion would be Skyrim ( with tons of mods )

Yes I'm fully aware of how arrows work in real life. I hunt with one ffs .... , but as discussed in another topic. Animals do not currently have hit boxes in game , or apparently even bleed out . Infected at least have a hitbox of torso and head, and soon legs as well. But archery damage isn't the discussion here. Its simply the reloading mechanics . When I go hunting with my bow, rarely do i ever use more than one arrow, Because of shot placement. But in case i do need an extra shot, I keep one in my bow hand. All my other arrows ( various types ready for various wild game) I use a side quiver , that when not hunting can be attached to the side of my pack to be kept out of the way. When hunting , I maintain quick access to my ammo, I have never kept them tucked away deep in my pack , where i would have to stop , open it , pick which type i want to use. pull it out , put my pack back on , notch the arrow, take aim , and fire next shot...... Seems a bit ridiculous when you think about it .

Would need rough coords to isolate possible spawn point What I'm planning on doing is maybe drawing radius circles around actual spawn points to show what areas they travel. But something tells me that they don't randomly cover a circular area. They have a set spawn point , then a preferred path they take. If something attacks them , Then they either run off into random directions or the attempt to follow set path at full speed. I did figure out from chasing a chicken around for a little while , that they do have object avoidance for the most part. And will stop occasionally to check and see if they are still being chased or to choose their new path. Rough idea of what i want the map to be based on Video of me chasing a chicken , mainly to learn the AI a bit , but also for fun . https://youtu.be/KN5wNyKLgic

uh.. yea I just linked his video as an example of holding arrows in hand,quicker shooting, and reloading animations , or whatever .. To show that its not practical keeping them zipped up in your camping backpack. Rather we hold them in our hands, a side quiver or a backpack quiver mount.. I dont really give two flying F!@#s as long as I dont have to have twelve steps in between each shot.... Unless they are willing to make arrows one hit killers. on everything , Its currently kind of a useless weapon. The lack the range , and power , or now the reload speed to be very effective against anything but chickens ..

this could probably be done in modding , just by reproducing what google did themselves. make a drone driven by an AI script to screen shot every road inthe game .

If you need that much ammo , and that many guns.. You need more practice aiming.. and better choices in firearms I only ever carry one gun .. occasionally a sidearm .. but rarely . And my kill / death ratio is damn impressive.

est 100lb Wild Boar in the butthole,= 1 shot thousand pound Bull in leg = 1 shot 700lb Elk in hind quarters= 1 shot Some random naked guy charging me with a chainsaw ?= 2 shots to the chest ......Because... balance....

I'm ready for my Survival simulator now

its for crossbows

Sunday Bloody Sunday Nice little PoV shot for the kiddies to fap to -REMOVED- Never a banana around when you need one

I totally agreed with changing the way the bow use to work . Did not like the loading a stack of arrows like a mag in the gun But the hot bar was a perfect fix , You had to go through the animation between each shot even though it removed the ability to snapshot the arrows in rapid fire like before . With out a quiver or the ability to hold arrows properly , the inventory system is broken. You need around 2 shots to kill a zed, so the system is basically Shoot. Open inventory load arrow re acquire target, aim fire again before zed gets to you OR animal runs aways Learn how archery works before you make comments like this... its embarrassing https://youtu.be/BEG-ly9tQGk

I would be happier with a pistol holster on my right , and a 1 hand melee slot on my left (belts ) The need to carry so many primary rifles kind of only caters to a niche pvp market . A lot of PvPers already shoulder a rifle , put a SMG in their packs or vest, and a sawed off shotgun in the leather jacket, not to mention a pistol. I just cant see the need for sooo many weapons . This would just add yet another gun slot ,

Ok I know I suffer from the duo core issue, and Hicks said the fix will be out in Jan.. My playability is 50/50 at best since 0.59 , sometimes it works great for days , other times i cant do anything Right now I can not play on any 3pp server, private or public. I get 2-5 fps no matter my settings Yet somehow I can magically play on any 1pp server and get 60 fps ?????? Did I mention i FREAKING HATE 1pp servers ???? WTH DayZ Your bugs make no sense to me !!.. Ok now that that's off my chest.. Does anyone have any clue what this is about ? What's the difference between the two ? And why the hell are 1pp and 3pp not connected to the same hive?

I get not such options.. the moment i join a 3pp server i'm in 1st person view standing up. with 1 -5 fps and like 2d rendering This shouldnt have been moved to trouble shooting , as I am not trying to fix the issue, I just asked what the difference between the two types of servers are.

seems to me like the west side of the map has had a lot more of the developers attention than the North and east sides . As if they are trying to keep people congregated to that one side of the map for some reason.

This is a rough draft to look for patterns and other stuff. Once I feel I have collected enough data , I will make one in photo shop. Looking to see if their is a way to .. i dunno pull the data from the game files or something , like people do with loot spawns and heli sights

It this a pattern , or just simply where everyone travels ?

Great , some of these I already have marked as located sighting myself , Which is great. Further proof they have set territories , Only rabbit I have ever seen was the dead rabbit from snares, would assume we have live ones, but never spotted .. probably help if i would figure out how to just disable grass entirely Chickens for example hide perfectly in high grass. As seen in my sig gif

Starting to see a pattern

Awesome . I'll add them to the map I'm working on

Lotations ? I've learned our critters are very territorial and tend to stick around specific neck of the woods

`

I would assume so as well , but for now I was thinking more along the lines of something simple , player made , just for those that find this info useful at the moment . My group prefers to hunt rather than loot for food , prefer to use ponds for water and fishing rather than wells . But total lack of useful info on say.. animal spawn locations, leaves us completely at the mercy of chance and luck , rather than knowing the good hunting grounds to atleast check for the spawns . I've personally only been able to lock down 8 reliable areas to hunt. None of which are above the northern highway line where a lot of us live. I have only seen , Elk, Boar, Chickens, Cows , in 59 , spotted Deer in 58 occasionally. I've heard rumors of a Fox wondering around , but unconfirmed , and have yet to see any of the other animals listed on the wiki Sad this side of the game gets so little attention ... while Heli crash sites and routes are updated instantly ....
