Animal hearding:Buildings/uses/items/farming/tool uses

[Damnyourdeadman 1045]

Hello People,i have recently bought the game but i had been watching Dayz videos for a very long time.

I couldn't help to see potential on every place i went.So i came up with the following ideas.Now before i start i want to let you people know that i'm totally aware that the game is still in an Alpha phase and my suggestions are part of future implementetions.

 

1-Buildings:Chicken coops-Rabbit hutches-Dog houses-sheep,goat and cow stables-farms

2-Animal hearding: I couldn't help but notice,that there are decorative:chicken coops,rabbit hutches(maybe bird cages but meh),cow farms and even large farm-like buildings that would serve as sheep and goat housing.My suggestion is that theese buildings can be player-crafted (with the right cost,and a substunsial ammount of matierials) and save-fatten and multiply livestock.For example a chicken coop would allow the reproduction of chickens and if you make theese buildings lootable,find eggs inside it.If the future has a place for dogs,we can save them at the dog houses.

 

3-Farming:Same implementation with the pumpking farms,or other kind of farms.You place the seeds in one slot,and on the other slot you place the water and after the right amount of time passes enjoy your harvest (depending on your seeds quality-time-farm size and type).

 

4-Items:Pitchfork/Small-Big Cage/Hoe/Seeds/Milk Container/Seers/Wool proccesing equipment/Vet kit/Fertilizer

5-Uses: A new variety of items could be implemented for the use of various tasks also existant items would come with diferent uses.You start a farm,so you may need a shovel or a hoe if implemented to plant your seeeds.If we allow the implementation of Pitchforks we could equip it and swing it at the small hay mounts we all come across which are served as decorations,like when we swig the axe on a tree and get lumber,we swig the pitchfork on the hay and aquire hay for feeding the sheep-cows-goats etc.When we finally are done building the structure,it will require animals (yes you will have to gather them by hand).An implemantation of a small/big cage can help you capture/transport/and deliver small animals (chickens,rabbits) on their destined buildings and save them.Urals wil be needed to transport larger ones(sheep,cows,goats etc) or you can be able to drag them with the rope,but it will be a slow/time consuming experience because you will have to walk your way back and save them to their designated barns.Take a step further and use the seers to take their wool and craft unique equipment or have milk with your cereal.Vet kits to prevent diseases on livestock,use fertilizer to have fertilized-mixed water for maximum harvest on your farms.

 

Sorry in advance for the long post and if this whole thing screams minecraft xD

It's spelled herding *facepalm*

 

As well, I'm rather sure that a lot of this stuff is already going to be implemented (farming, hunting, building, etc).

Would be nice to see farming. But I can't see it being used by anyone because of destructive bandits just shooting all the livestock for fun.
