Fruits and Farming

[quobble 175]

Hello community

I was playing some DayZ today and felt like beans and noodles are not healthy over a long time.

Then I stumbled upon a field that looked like a farmer made it farmable.

So I thought, why dont they put eatable plants and fruits into the game?

I know DayZ takes place a few years after human structure broke down and so no farmers would keep their farms etc. But maybe WILD plants are still giving you food and producing fruits.

You could wander around the forest and find berries and maybe roots.

What do you people think?

Greetings!

I’m sure they’ll add in farming at some point; that’s such an important mechanic for the survivalists.

I love the idea of cultivating fruit and vegetables; just have to make sure I have plenty of copper ribbon and razor wire to keep the harvest safe.

Rocket did tweet about cooking potatoes the other day which sounded promising.

You plant a garden, you die two days later. 120 days later people are harvesting your work.

Ain't nobody got time for that.

actually i was thinking about wild fruits...weadin is impoatant mah fwends...

and you could have hydro cultures inside your underground base.

[methr1k2dop3 323]

yes....

finding wild edibles.

but any farming you have to do isn't practical.... (on a count of it can take months and even years to yield foodstuffs from start to finish)

and should not be in Dayz

[Mullraugh 1151]

Poisonous fruits too!

[methr1k2dop3 323]

Poisonous fruits too!

i would have to disagree.

although poisonous edibles are out there and are a reality.

i think realistically if you have a brain in your head you wouldn't eat a poisonous edible. (reality aspects a video game cannot capture)

i would most definitely like to see options to collect and harvest foods mother nature provides for us other than hunting wild animals.

I have an abandoned house near my house, for 6 or 7 years, since owner died, and no one is living here, he had a vegetable garden, with potato, tomatoes, raspberries... I went here last summer with friends and I remenber the garden was full of potatoes plant, and some tomatoes was landing on the ground, but almost ate by insects and birds. The rasperries bushes were very full, and we ate some of them :)

We could find in Chernarus, in every village some houses with a garden, that allows us to find potatoes, and some berries, which they grow very easily without human interventions, but are very vulnerable to birds and insects...

It would be interesting if you could farm, and with all the other ideas out there, build a community. So what the game becomes is a first person real time simulation of sim city or civilization, with walkers. With bandits being the raiders at the periphery. Somewhat ambitious for this game though.
