Power Stations/Night Cycle

[thatoleserpent 15]

I was surprised to see the power plant untouched from Arma II. I am really hoping they eventually implement power stations. (perhaps a mod). Here are my thoughts. Need two people to carry and a truck to haul the generator parts which only spawn at power stations. Perhaps need two people to craft it inside the power plant. Allow to fix and destroy the power lines and light up the towns. Hopefully when the game is fully implemented more people will play at night. I also think that in one natural day, there should be two Dayz days.

 

    Escaping the night is cheating, like combat logging, hopping, ghosting etc.

Love it, it has been a long talked about feature. It would help to create "end games" so to speak. Objecitves that arent story driven but give people advantages and help set up civilization again.

Most of the time nights really bright now. At least what I encountered. But for about 2 hours there's pitch black and I can only orient by sky and lanscape curve. Sadly even rare street lights provide almost none additional visibility. You know how you can see a cigarette light in a dark night? It's actually visible from quite a far. And I can't see even corner of the street by the light of the lamppost now. I really hoped to ambush someone out from the dark. Not possible :( Lighting is totally broken.

I wouldn't see playing on daylight only servers cheating. It comes down to preferences. Especially when im only able to play when its dark.
