janol 65 Posted February 3, 2014 What I don't understand is if the zompocalype just happened, why are all the shelves bare.How many people have a single half finished waterbottle in their house, and a single box of cereal? Server resources. Pretty much that. Also many models are still from ArmA, so they were made with that game in mind. The premise of this game is that you wake up right after the apocalypse - that's why you don't have anything usable on you, that's why you exhaust yourself easily in the beginning before you get used to all the running etc.. In the mod it was more obvious, but I take it that the timeline will become more evident later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dejeffers 39 Posted February 3, 2014 I'm more concerned that a Rotten Kiwi can be in Pristine condition. Does the game really need a rotten fruit rating system?C'mon Dev's, a little realism if you please... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weedmasta 784 Posted February 3, 2014 The infection gave fruits the ability to grow on tables and on shelves. Sounds realistic to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DropBearChick 1217 Posted February 3, 2014 I hope so. Those orchards ought to be producing something. Just imagine: Orchards, the new PVP hotspot. Yeah, okay, that's not gonna happen. But yeah, trees with fruit. It would also be awesome if some of the little house gardens produced some wild tomatoes, beans, etc., once in a while. And those pumpkins. Why can't we eat em?I was thinking of putting a tent in the orchard cause no one visits me there and its well out of the eyes of the construction site snipers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deepfried 95 Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) Fruit should be collectible from under fruit trees. Just a thought. Also it depends how long after outbreak this is, if its a month then its possible for some fruit to still be relatively fresh, especially if its been irradiated. Edit: Didn't you see 28 Days Later? Irradiated, yum. god damn ninja. Edited February 3, 2014 by Continuity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
louist 163 Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Actually, I don't think the outbreak happened that long ago. Some of the street lights still work, which means electricity still flows. Most modern power plants are able to run automated without human intervention for some time, ESPECIALLY hydro electric ones (it is claimed by engineers that hoover dam could continue to function for a few months or more without any human input).Add to that the sheer PROLIFERENT presence of guns and ammunition, my assumption is that everyone went to bed one night, died in their sleep, and woke up as zombies. Otherwise, why would there not have been mass panic and looting right from the beginning? realistically, after such an event, there would be next to NOTHING to find in heavily populated areas.Explain the rusted our cars :pActually, I'm more concerned about the fact that every elevator in chernerus failed...

louist 163 Posted February 4, 2014 Survivors, like you, pick it. Then they put it on a shelf. Then they go die.How is it possible there's anything to loot? If you want to get all pants-twistingly realistic with loot, then we're going to be left with literally nothing at all anywhere. It would all be gone by now but boards and rusty nails.Survivors picked bananas and kiwis, carried them to Russia, and died? That's a lot of geography to cover (especially in a world where every car is a rusted out shell :p ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyT 554 Posted February 4, 2014 Apples and oranges can both keep and remain edible for weeks in a climate like chernerus. Banana on the other hand won't.But really, in the zombie apocalypse, fruit rot may be one of the easier things to ignore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
