Need More Info about new item's put into the game

[MethHeadMario 27]

As with new item's are being implemented into the game come's the time of figuring out how to use these new item's and thing's of that nature. I have already seen a few post from frustrated people asking if they are doing something wrong because they keep losing thier mosin when trying to spray paint it. I have been at that point myself with not only Dayz SA but with the mod also.. I don't know how long it took me to not figure out what a cooking pot doesn't do or how the propane gas cooker doesn't do anything. Hell I still don't know how to use a blood bag kit or a saline bag but I really haven't had the chance to use one either.. But if I do come across that time where i need to know, then I would like to know ahead of time...Another example in the recent patch is berry picking.. WTF is that? Is there somekind of special bush that i just havent seen yet or do i just go up to any random bush?

 

So if anyone out there that knows how to use some of the more intricate items, please help us others with some info..

I found this video about how alot of the medical and sickness stuff works.. This is VERY LONG but is VERY informative about the sickness system, which is very complex. This guide also explains alot about how food and water works.. I didn't actually expect how detailed the food and water system is and that there is actauly an Energy bar for your character and has alot to do with your hp regen..

- You can use a blood bag kit to take blood from someone. If they have a compatible blood type (found out with blood testing kit) someone else can then administer that blood bag to you safely. If the blood types are different however you will die. 

 

- Saline bag, like a blood bag gives you blood and needs to be administered by another player. There are 2 types, the one slot version called Saline bag needs to be combined with an IV starter kit commonly found in Medikits. The 2 slot version called Saline bag IV can be administered immediately. It doesn't matter what blood type you have, everyone can use Saline bag IVs safely at the moment.

 

As for berries, I have looked around a bit but haven't done any extensive search for them, i.e. I have no clue and haven't seen any.
