I've been thinking about this idea for a while, it would really help out, even if it is a temporary or timed fix. Probably for those times you are stuck so far inland with very few med supplies and you don't have a hope in hell of crawling to the nearest guaranteed medical spawn points. This lack of options was perhaps driven home by one of my most recent misadventures. I was in a group of three friends and we were looking for food for me as a quick fix, as I was on 6000 blood and we had no blood bags. We chanced upon a factory-type building area and decided to give it a try. After trying to lure the zombies away one by one to be put down quietly failed, the ensuing chaos caused me to drop below 3000 blood and go unconscious to boot. The rest of the horde arrived soon after, attracted by the gunfire from my group killing of the remaining infected. After the smoke cleared and all hostiles were dead, one of the party was now down with a broken leg, and I was slipping in and out of consciousness. The one mobile party member remaining bandaged me and dragged me to the cover of a small wooded area on top of a hill opposite the place we had tried to clear out, where the guy with the broken leg had managed to crawl. The broken leg player gave me his last tin of sardines when the timer ran out, which got me barely above 3000 blood - enough to stay conscious at least. Meanwhile the other member of our party checked the place we had cleared but found nothing we could put to good use in our situation. This guy then had to made the trek alone to the ''nearest'' hospital to get the supplies we needed to move on again. So I sat with my broken leg buddy on barely 3000 blood, armed only with my axe for over an hour, to make sure no more zombies or hostile players turned up while we waited for our friend to return with the meds. All this time we had been sat in the woods, I had an axe and I also had bandages, and I was just thinking I would have easily been able to make a splint to 'support' my friends leg. But with no options to do anything like this all I could do was keep an eye on the roads and make sure no one stumbled upon us. Thankfully the guy who went off to get us meds made it through town without having to fire a single shot. He looted the hospital and got back to us with no trouble, and we all managed to fix up and moved on. Hats off to him for the rescue! But our situation aside, that brings me back to the point. I had all the necessarily equipment to make the splint we are talking about here, and I feel it would have made that timely and tense occasion for us a little easier, as even though I was low on blood I could have still played spotter for my friends while they went into town, on a splint there was no way the guy with the broken leg was going to agro any zombies anyway, and the both of them raiding the hospital would have brought back far more supplies, and someone would have been able to watch the other guys back while he looted. Whether splints could have a timer on them, and they'd need to be re-applied every 30 minutes and need morphine eventually to set them and make the permanent fix - I don't know. But at least it would be an easier way to temporarily support a broken bone would mean you'd have a fighting chance to help yourself rather than endanger the rest of your team. I mean, if that situation had been real, I don't know who would have hesitated to throw together some kind of splint. So yeah, I fully support this idea and hope it gets some serious consideration! :)
