Bulk

[methr1k2dop3 323]

I would like to see supplies in bulk.

like literally a crate with 60 cans of beans.

People would kill for it. share it. trade it. take it all to the forest and get fat.

Maybe even a weapon cache with 20 something guns. no ammo. a crate of of AK's would be interesting. 

of course be rare. and it a great pain to get it all for your self.

faced with a situation to take what you can carry and make trips like one would in a realistic situation.

How would we transport crates/pallettes around?  We'd need a forklift truck just to load one into a van.

load it all in manually. (take time, and be exposed)

like in a real scenario.

loading the entire crate in a car just wouldn't be a option. 

go to a grocery store you are gonna have a almost endless amount of supplies cant take it all.

Have 4 guys put it in the back of a truck.

Hmmm, I like the idea of maybe finding rare bulk loot drops, not sure how they'd implement needing two or more peeps to load and unload etc without a lot of work.  In principle it's a pretty good idea though.

I've suggested this before, rather than say a pallet or large crate, more along the lines of larger cases, IE 36 packs of soda.  A bulk box of canned goods (lets just say 24).  The way I would do it is larger items would require both hands, but you can either remove one/several items from the box, or you can just pick up the box and say load it into a vehicle, or long haul it back to your camp.  Just boxes in general really, like just being able to pick up the boxes in hospitals with medical supplies in them, and load them into your car, same with ammo boxes.

I doubt you would even find that much food & drink all in one place. People would've raided the shit out of all the stores. 

 

Perhaps delivery trucks that didn't make it?

i think finding single cans of soda around is a bit weird.

maybe find cases of soda. takes more room in inventory but you get 12 "charges"

it wouldbe intresting to come across a giant supply of something.

give you something to do.

like a deleviery truck full of a single supply.

[Korsbaek 1778]

I don't understand this. Is it supposed to be an air drop, or something a truck dropped, or something else.

I'm sure your explanation is good enough, but English isn't my main language.

Would really depend on how quickly the infection overtook the population.  And it really depends on if people know where to look.  You would expect to find food in a grocery store.  Most people don't think about searching random warehouses or random shipping containers.  Here in Hawaii its rumored that we have several hidden bunkers loaded to the gills with Spam in case of an emergency.  (Just an FYI, the three things that sell out first before a big storm or hurricane here are rice, toilet paper, and spam)

Well considering we'll find stuff in static vehicles now wouldn't be too much of an offshoot.  Then again the 'loot pile' is a mechanic from the Arma engine.  Most of us are from First world countries where everything is packaged in bulk for our convenience.  In countries where a bottle of Coke might be half a day's pay you wouldn't expect to see the 36 packs of Pepsi or other large cases we high consumers purchase on the front shelves (and usually when we buy individual soda its from a vending machine or from a refrigerator case, something you might not see in a place that has no electricity).

I've seen some maps/servers that have added 'car crashes' (sort of like a chopper crash) to their scripts, usually a static car either on or near a road with either boxes of medical supplies or non military loot scattered about.  Maybe we'll get something like this sooner or later in Standalone.  Just something to add to the luck factor.  Might be lucky enough to come across an overturned Ural with a crate of AK101s and ammo in the back (maybe require a tool like a crowbar to open).  Sure you wouldn't take all the AKs but grabbing one or two for you and your buddies would be enough.

I agree with OP :beans:

 

also big thing like engine or rotor for heli, this shit is too much heavy one guy is put in backpack and running 10 km? :huh:

 

make so is need 2 guys for move this shit :thumbsup:   or put forklifter like fraggle say, is more realism :)

[DemonGroover 8836]

I have always liked the idea of finding random crashed trucks carrying loads of food and drink, much like crashed helis.

 

Anyone remember the crashed Sno-ball van in Zombieland?

"Sno Balls? SNO BALLS?! Where's the.. FUCKING... TWINKIES?!"

[Korsbaek 1778]

Mmm... Twiiinkies...

I still don't understand the original idea though..

If vehicles are to be used in transporting large vehicle parts such as engines and rotor assemblies anyway, I don't see why this would be an issue. Beats carrying whole tires in your backpack in any case.

I personally wouldn't even carry a tire around ( for hours ) in the first place since it's quit heavy ( of course it depends on the vehicle ). There should be something that needs a team effort to put bulky and heavy items into trunks or on the truck bed. You can't just heave a heavy engine into a vehicle all alone, either with a small crane of with more people. A 2L carburator engine with a gearbox attached is already heavy enough that you need 3 or more people if you want to be sure to not drop and damage it. A fuel tank might be light enough but it is still quite bulky to carry around without limitations. This is not a "punish lone wolves" suggestion...it's just logical.

Hello there

 

I'm a lone wolf and I think there should be some things that just are not achievable alone. I can bloodbag myself, but would have a hard time pushing a broken down car along or dragging an engine block around solo.

Im a stereotype geek, without the intelligence.

It's is possible for things like this to happen. Infact theses crashed delivery trucks should be like new loot spawns.

I also want to be able to do jumping jacks and weird character gestures to limber up.

If these could be rare spawns like heli crashes off the sides of the road they could be life savers out in the wilderness or a quick ticket to death by blunt force head trauma via bean can.
