Learning skills - expanded

[lmlm 0]

Please consider this idea.

It would be nice to find books, magazines, journals, etc that offer increased or special skills sort of like how Fallout 3 does it. For example, maybe there are 5 or so books on a server that, once read, let you learn how to self-administer blood from blood packs. Here are some ideas:

Make a cammo net from cammo clothing

Mark map locations of stores, deer stands etc in a region, etc..

Cook more nutritious meat

Self camoflage as a zombie for more stealthy movement (but you look bloody!) using zombie parts.

Build a weapon from a few scrap metal (and other parts?). Would need different guide for different weapons or at least weapon types. So maybe one guide to make civilian shotguns, another for all civilian .45mm pistols, etc etc.

edit: I could certainly see learning how to start a fire without matches as something a magazine would explain.

Also another similar idea. Finding a note or letter revealing the location of something across the map, such as a hidden vehicle or weapon, or whatever. Maybe an employee of a hospital has a home with some stored blood packs or morphine, or has hidden it somewhere where it's not supposed to be found.

ps. I see another thread on this but since I expand on it this much I thought a new thread might be better..? Thank you!

I think finding things which elaborate what the hell happened may be introduced later on in development. But secret military bunkers etc would be cool to find.

Dont know about skill books, magazines however. I havent learnt much from "Guns and Ammo and Babes Weekly" or "How to Administer Blood Monthly" let alone "How To Build a Huey Quarterly"

Finding food trucks, Coke vans, ambulances would be cool, but they would be more random finds like crashed helicopter sites rather than finding a note.

More variety is good however.
