Misc Crafting Ideas [SA]

[carcinovich 156]

• Player corpses can be used to create ear necklaces when combined with a knife and string :x (could be used to scare/intimidate people, or for bragging rights and/or bandit self-identification). Rope and anything sharp (knife/machete/hacksaw) could be used to create said string.

   

• Bandannas, or spray-painted rags, can be to create arm-wraps (to distinguish who is "in-group" and "out-of-group" at a glance). I may or many not be mentioning this because I accidentally got killed by my very-own group after looting our victims ;)

   

• Sticks and anything sharp (knife/machete/hacksaw) can be used to create an improvised, sharpened stick (improvised zed-skewering weapon). This could be especially be useful early-game, before firearms are a thing. I could see this item later being used to create spike-fences to keep idiot zombies at bay, barricading style, a la The Walking Dead (once crafting goes into full-gear, of course).

   

• Firewood and hacksaw/axes can be used to create split firewood, which basically act like sticks in all forms of crafting.

   

• Duct-tape, a flash-light, and a gun could make for a simple, improvised weapon attachment (with some penalty in using the sights, perhaps).

   

• Duct-tape could be used as non-sterile bandaging (much like rags). That, or making improvised splints when attached with sticks.

   

• Duct-tape can upgrade any "ruined" item into the "badly damaged" status. I mean, it's friggin' duct-tape (!!)

You are all heroes, and probably wizards too.

Sewing makes sense, if there were pins to go along with string. Or a sewing kit of some sort.

Duct-tape is infinitely easier, though. Duct-tape is just magical, we all know, because it fixes everything.

Duct tape to badly damaged?! Your a mad man duct tape should have its own status eg extreme prestineiness

[knifeparty 109]

One of the devs just posted a tweet the other day that was a pic of a sewing kit (for in game use).. not sure how it will exactly work though.

Dont have a real opinion on the most of your suggestions but I like the idea with the painted rags. Somehow you should be able to show that you are mates and not asking "is that you running there down the street or is it a bandit?"

Dear God, what is this -- I don't even. I think I just experienced every emotion possible.

Im gonna need the gun before i can start the magic

To add, I was thinking about this. Cordage should be highly valuable.

1. Making make shift tents out of sticks and tarp (need to add tarp to game).

2. Rope can be used to create back packs (like with a burlap sack and rope do).

3. Rope can be used to make traps for animals and for people (new bandit tactic? :D)

4. Rope can be used, like handcuffs, to lash people(s) hands together.

5. Cordage should be able to be taken off of sneakers.

6. Duct Tape could be used in many of these ways as well.

7. Stones/rocks and be used to make deadfall traps

8. more to come.

#4 yes please

Except for #1, which is opening a whole big can of worms, the rest sound like great ideas.  I'm sure we'll see some if not most of those in the game at some point.

Rag and bottle of alcohol to make Molotovs ? Or maybe improvised smoke grenades if they wanted to add 4 items that has no real use other than smoke grenades lawl: saltpeter, sugar, some fuse , and some type of tube or container . But of course that's a lot of useless items to add for one item but I love the idea of smoke bombs , especially home made ones.

Omg yes

[discipled 63]

I can see molotovs being useful if/when they add mass zombies. Right now it'd be cool, but nearly pointless.

Scrap that shiet, make a new single shot gun out of layered up duct tape.

Sugar can be eaten, saltpeter can be used in a number of explosive type stuff.

Fuse is useful for every other explosive thing.

Container could be anything from an empty tin can, to a bottle or something (which could be used as improvised suppressors as well.

These junk items = Madmax/ Macgyver and we need them.

I can see a million uses for fuses... Holy batman

Wow thats very nice a sewing kit.. goddamn man I love these obscure random items that they add cant wait to find more in game.. just need to wait for the zombies to be introduced properly so the game is actually difficult and i dont find every item before its playable !
