Morriscode92 19 Posted November 16, 2012 Lets face it. if there was a zombie outbreak finding a vehicle would be like looking for hay in a hay stack, literally. Highways or major roads would be the home to hundreds or even thousands of abandoned cars. However, gas would be scarce and so would car parts, but I have thought of something that could be something to add into the DayZ Standalone.Gas Siphoning KitsIn the modern day, some people, mostly thieves, have a gas siphoning kit, this kit is used to take or steal gas out of another. The user inserts the tube into the gas tank and sucks in, then places the other end of the tube into his or her gas tank, stealing the others gas.Spawning: This item will have a medium to low spawn rate in certain building throughout the map, the kit will take up 2 inventory slots. The player will be able to steal gas from either other players cars or the cars along the roads. That is the next thing I want to talk about.Vehicles and Abandoned CarsIf a zombie outbreak were to happen as you read this, people would probably freak out, crash their cars or get out and run. In the standalone, I would like to see that the roads from Cherno to Elektro could contain any number of abandoned cars. All of these cars could be driven, but most of them would be out of gas or broken to no return. These cars will have no use-able gas, but if you have a gas siphoning kit you could manage to draw out about a half of a jerry can or if you are lucky, one entire jerry car. If you have a toolbox you could also attempt to dissemble parts of the car, if they are still use-able. New Toolbox ActionIf you wanted to try to get an engine from a car with a toolbox you could, but it would take you about 2 minutes of you inactive. Also since you aren't a car specialist, you only have a 25-50 percent chance of getting the part without completely destroying it. Also on the topic of car parts, those just spawning in cities and building would be decreased greatly, since how many people would keep an engine in their kitchen?Looking forward to the standalone! Good job Rocket for making such a great mod! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seddrik 44 Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) Gas siphoning - good idea. But one slot is enough, they aren't that big/bulky. All you need is a lengbth of garden hose. Wish you could use that to fill the chopper...Lootable vehicles (for parts) I've thought of that but not posted. I too think is valid to be able to loot parts from vehicles...New tool box action? Eh, not sure I'd want to stand around for 2 minutes watching my character rip an engine out. Realism is one thing, boredom is another. Scavanging parts from abandoned cars is fine, but don't make the game tedious. Edited November 16, 2012 by Seddrik Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
