Standalone Drink Mechanics

[The_Falconer 14]

So basically I have been thinking for a while about mechanics for drinks in the Dayz Standalone.

Drinks Available:

Soda-Common, Drinking a certain amount causes a addiction to caffeine, one drink, nonrefillable(can change rarity to balance)

Water Bottle-Rare, one drinks, refillable, cannot boil water inside of it(can change rarity to balance)

Canteen-Very Rare, two drinks, refillable(can change rarity to balance)

Places You Can Refill:

Sea-Temporarily refills your drink meter (1 minute) but after increases drink decay by 100% for 10 minutes(will stack)

Lake-Fills drink meter, 50% chance of infection*

Pond-Fills drink meter, 30% chance of infection*

River-Fills drink meter, 5% chance of infection*

*You can boil water over a fire that eliminates chances of infection

Tell me what you think.

30 second unlimited sprint.... are you an idiot? I think constant drinking of soda should give you an addiction to caffeine where if you don't get more caffeine regularly you get headaches and a debuff that would associate with having a cunt of a headache. whats your logic on not being able to fill drink bottles up?

I see your point on the soda(going to use it). Ill fix that up

I thinks a lot more balanced compared to earlier

EDIT: Sorry, premature post.

Good ideas, I'd like to see this built upon. It's hard to believe they didn't have plastic water bottles in pre-Z Chernarus.

You can boil water in a plastic bottle.

You might in real life but its mainly for balance reasons.

Looks good not sure about sea water though if you drink it, it should have a long period dehydration effect making you worse off than before until you rehydrate with a fresh water source.

Drinking the sea water doubles drink decay(loss) for ten minutes
