[SA] Cooking at campfire

[[email protected] 120]

Currently in the mod cooking is way too fast and there is no real risk involved.

Make it so it takes at least a minute to cook your meat. A minute in which you can chill by the fire with your friends and be exposed to the danger of being detected. The meat should be visible and change it's appearance when it's eatable. The sizzling sound of meat juice dropping into the flames could be an acoustic indicator when it's ready. When it's over the fire for too long the meat is black and inedible.

Please check out my other suggestion involving fire that also encourages player interactions.

This is something I actually really want in the game. It would make for a more, enjoyable camp out to say.

And maybe the cooking time of meats could vary?

but what if you like your meat well done.

I like it, although different types of fire should restrict or increase the amount of smoke seen or the smell of burning coals and cooking meat, by doing that it can increase or decrease the chance of a player and/or zombie contacting you.

EDIT: In DayZ, there's only one type of fire, would be interesting if they added more types.

I like this idea Santosh, I have thought about it in my brainstorm dayz ideas a few times.. i think it should take more then 5 mins to make you really appreciate the meat some more ^_^ NICE SUGGESTION

It could be made so that shortly before it get's inedible the steak will be in it's best condition. So you could just wait ~1min to get it done quickly or wait ~5 min to get a little bonus on blood regeneration or something. The durations may differ a little every time so you can't just set a timer but actually have to look at and listen to the meat :D
