Idea for when you get the "starving" message

[TEST_SUBJECT_83 465]

I was thinking, man it's kinda dumb to die of starvation when you have canned food in your inventory.

So what if when you get the "stomach grumbles violently" message, not quite starving yet, you will get a new option when you right click a can.

"Smash open on rock" You would have to find a rock, so you wouldn't be able to open it anywhere but finding a rock isn't to hard.

But having contextual options for things might add a new level of gameplay?

What do you think?...and can you think of any other time in DayZ where that kind of option could work?

in my opinion its should be a challenge to survive, there are rocks everywhere, so this would make it a lot more easier.

I like this idea tbh.
Only being able to do it, just before you starve to death and if you then manage to open the can (chance of failing ofc) it should onlly be enough for "1 mouthful".

Basicly it should be a last resort option, so if you choose to do this, you loose alot of food (compared to propper opening) and have a risk of hurting yourself aswell. (sharp can edges)

 

It should not be to dofficult to implement either tbh :) +1, with some minor tweaks from here hehe

I like this idea. I dont like starving to death to begin with. Food should be close to the last thing that u have to worry about. PVP being number one for example. So when u have canned food and u starve its kinda silly. I would chew through a can if i was starving. So smashing it open on a rock makes sense. With a high cost of loosing some of course.

This is how this should be done: there should always be the option "smash open" (it makes no sense to have it only when starving etc. and there is almost always something hard enough around). But smahing cans should lose something like 60-90% of the content.

Once they have sorted the physics we should be able to throw em at walls...
