input - broken equipment, blue print, spare parts

output - fixed gear

tools - tool box or more depending

fail chance - ? you got a blue print

not sure what how to explain all types

[maxxe22 18]

input - rag, alcohol, glass bottle

output - molotove

tools - lighter

fail chance - really anyone can do it

enhancement - fire in a bottle can burn cloths, trees, grass, and heat up anyone in a vehicle

Why would that matter? Any headshot from any distance or damage kills immidietly

Why would that matter? Any headshot from any distance or damage kills immidietly

remember this isn't a discussion area. plus that may be true but someone catches you with their silenced pistol you'll want that helmet. plus its only gonna cost one extra bullet from a pistol. yes this is a hypocritical post but its rude to ignore

[maxxe22 18]

input - same process as building

output - short upgradeable walls, doors, walls with lookout holes, towers

tools - cement or wood, mixers or crafting table saw, tool box

fail chance - 1 just takes time and could be ruined anytime by someone who selects the stop or cancel option

enhancement - build a fort out of upgradeable wood or cement walls towers and doors.

type - building

keeping it short, the maps you had were huge so plenty of room and plenty of servers. this and it seems a lot of people are looking for ways to build explosives so destroying them only takes time plus they need in and out somehow. also after cement or wood is done the person who started it can place it anywhere within a certain radius of the mixers or table. also able to cross then so no open spots. first short walls then time consuming tall walls but if they easily destroyed then less time should be needed.

More involved tool hunting would be nice...

It sucks knowing that every single toolbox in the game is fully stocked and capable of repairing every vehicle in the game, and that tools never ever ever break... I'd like to see toolboxes at various degrees of how well stocked they are... and tools in various degrees of rust.

Your toolbox should function like a backpack to a certain degree... this way you can add each individual tool to the game separately so they can be collected. This way you'd need to find a hammer laying around, or a crowbar, or a pair of pliers, or wrenches, or sockets for those wrenches, and screw-drivers (for window and engine repairs), or wire strippers. You might get lucky and find a fully stocked toolbox, but more often than not you'd have to hunt down the missing tools before you could fully repair your vehicle.

This makes searching those industrial buildings and little houses just that much more interesting.

Anything you can do to keep people from just instantly sprinting towards the nearest military tents or fire-stations or airport as soon as they spawn, and then camp around the big cities as soon as they find a gun is a huge bonus... the more people you can get to careful roam and comb the countryside for goods, the better.

The more people you get into the countryside hunting animals the better too... people might actually use the deer-stands for hunting if there was a reason to sit around and hunt, like for leather, or food, or bones.

As it sits now with the game being mostly gun oriented, the game is essentially a deathmatch on a huge scale... especially in the two big cities and the airfields.

You need more tools in the game for this crafting system to work, and it would make crafting that much harder and more frustrating and subsequently more valuable in the end if tools were scarce and hard to find, and if toolboxes were typically incomplete when you found them.

I know this particular thought isn't in the correct format... but it does fit in to the suggestions, seeing as how you have a specific line for Tools in the format you provided, this thought just seems to fit. I am sorry if this isn't in the right place.
