Water Bottle and too much empty houses

[spets15 0]

I dont know where to post this.

 

Possible bug:

whenever a try to fill a bottle with water it says 6 ml remain.

 

Suggestions:

There is some isolated houses around the map, that just have nothing on it. Barns, little cabins, etc. Im a veteran of ArmA series, I know Chernarus, and I think it needs to be changed more, like, more different houses, more cabins inside the forest (Hunter huts) I mean, Chernarus is big, I never played DayZ mod, maybe a few minutes, dont remember. But what is the point on having the same map as the mod? Please change it a little bit, like putting some small  settlements, or little cabins where there is absolutely nothing, on roads, open fields, forest, little lakes, mountains, etc. People just go to the most populated places and concentrating there, and you have the whole map not even used, or visited once. Put more things there and there to help the traffic on the entire map, and not just, lets say, the airport

Have you emptied the bottle out first? You can't fill a half full bottle. Water bottles only carry 6ml iirc, canteen carry 10ml. Is the bottle ruined?

Bottle needs to be in your hands to fill up at the well.

MAn I love having the plastic water bottles in game.  Military canteens everywhere didnt feel right.  Running around with 5 old water bottles in my pack just screams surviving in a bad situation.  Now thats not to say canteens are a bad thing though. Just glad they arent the only thing to carry water around in.

Also, some of these houses are probably empty because the items that would spawn there might not be in the game yet?

Or someone got there before you did and picked it clean.  :)

You say you may have played the mod a few minutes but you know Chernarus?

Not sure I follow..

The point is, you need to look for things. If the whole map spawned loot in every building then you would take away the 'need'.

People concentrate on the higher yield areas and buildings because it's general regarded as easier to find things, but it comes at a price, usually your life.

The day the map is full of stuff everywhere is the day I stop playing.

Hi.

 

There's already plenty of changes on the map. New towns/cities that weren't in arma2 or the mods version for that matter.

 

Also it looks like they will be adding more. Take a look at the new harbor/city/train station at the north-east corner(a couple KM's NE of the N.E. airfield. There is a whole new road network where there used to be nothing. From the looks of it they have laid the groundwork for a huge city or multiple towns.

 

That's only 1 example, but I haven't explored the map enough yet, though I have come across ponds and swamp-like areas that I can't remember from ArmA2 or the DayZ mod.

 

Regards.

Ok, thanks then. 

Yes, the bottle was in my hand, and condition Green.

Yes, I know Chernarus, played Arma - Arma2 and now Arma 3 for more than 5 years, mostly private cooperative missions with a community. and yes, I noticed some new objects and houses. But I mean, some of the roads/forest/mountains are empty for several km, the isolated houses and most of the barns are empty, not even tools, nothing. There is a sawmill in the middle of the forest that doesnt have even an axe or, I dont know, a hammer or water pump. Im not saying to fill the entire map with stuff, food, weapons, but something to make the players use all the map and not only the most popular sites. And yes, I know this is an early alpha, thats why I said "Suggestions"

Hi.

 

I think some of the buildings may be bugged or just not have loot spawns implemented currently. Like the barns with lofts on either side, in the mod they always had loot inside, but in SA I'm yet to find a single drop in any that I've entered. Same goes for a certain house model(don't really know how to describe the house though).

 

Regards.

The Barn type buildings and hunter towers dont have loot in them yet. also the volume of water held in the canteen/water bottle are off by like a few orders of magnitude as 10mL max is basically a few drops of water
