Crafting Suggestions (no discussion)

[thengeance 19]

Idea derived from previous "stun arrow" ideas, reimagined for shotguns.

Input: 1x ammo stack (870, DB, Winchester), 1x tire (or other imagined rubber implement... rock salt could even work here)

Output: Non-lethal rounds

Tools: Hunting Knife (prying open ends of shells)

Failchance: .05

Enchantment: Reduces damage dramatically (95%?), stuns target for 30 seconds

ActionType: Ammunition

Perhaps a more realistic way to provide people with the means to knock out other survivors without putting them in the ground. What they do afterwards is their business =)

heated cloth / hot compress

Input: 1x cloth , 1x tin can, (Ax herbs:camomille, hay flowers, sage, thyme), 1x fire source

Output: heated cloth / hot compress

Tools: -

Failchance: -

Enchantment: small increase in chances to heal/ get rid of infections

ActionType: medical supplies

Use hot compresses against literally everything! Herbs increase chances as well as tin foil (wrapped around the cloth to maintain heat a little bit better)

The next is a double feature:

heated stones

Input: 3x stones (bigger) OR 6x stones (smaller), 1x fire source

Output: heated stones

Tools: -

Failchance: -

Enchantment: useless stones are now hot, can have different use.

ActionType: semi-useless junk

hot stone pillow

Input: 2x cloth, 3x heated stones (bigger) OR 6x heated stones (smaller), 1x tin foil

Output: hot stone pillow

Tools: -

Failchance: -

Enchantment: bigger increase in chances to heal/ get rid of infections

ActionType: medical supplies

Use hot stone pillows again like compresses. Higher chances because heat will be kept longer in the stones.

edit:

so could you give as a brief info of some suggestions which could make it ingame eventually, or which objects could find their way into the game because of crafting suggestios? ;)

[WBK 176]

Zombie Disguise

Input: 1x Blood Bag (w/human blood) OR 1x Syringe (w/zombie blood)

Output: Zombie Disguise

Tools: Hunting Knife

Failchance: 0

Enchantments: if syringe used 50% chance of infection

ActionType: Clothing

A few notes: In the patch/SA in which this is implemented, there should also be a 'zed stance'. This makes you stand and walk exactly like a zed - without zombie noises of course. This will be used to try and fool other players. Of course, if only the stance is used, very few survivors and no zombies will be fooled. However, with a ripped shirt and pants thanks to hunting knife, and some human blood on your clothes, face and arms thanks to a blood bag, the look will be very effective and you will closely resemble a zombie. Real zeds won't be fooled however, because you have fresh blood on you, and smell like a delicious snack. So for the people wanting to fool zombies as well, you can extract zombie blood from a dead zombie with a syringe and apply it on yourself. To make this a fair risk-reward scenario, imagine that there is a 50% chance the blood enters your body, either through eyes, mouth, nose, or maybe a cut on your arms, and infects you.
