tatchell (DayZ) 73 Posted February 18, 2014 I stumbled across this field by the NE airfield, you've most likely been through it on the way from Berezino. I'm not sure if these are poppies (I think they could be sunflowers) but seeing the large plants made me think about poppies and how obviously you can quite easily extract the latex from them and cook up morphine in real life. Considering the rarity of morphine shots in this game, I think that crafting your own morphine would be a very neat feature to have. Maybe just any kind of knife/bayonet could be used to extract latex and then when the cooking system is introduced you could refine the latex into morphine? Then fill a syringe with your concoction to store/use. Also yet another use for the syringe :p Doesn't sound too complex, would be pretty useful and also expand the crafting possibilities there should eventually be... Any thoughts? (From a quick search I couldn't find this idea but sincere apologies if this has been discussed before!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zeroy 240 Posted February 18, 2014 Its a sunflower (actually they have collision on them they are that big!! ) but I'm certainly hoping to see medicinal plant harvesting come into the game at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaughingJack (DayZ) 767 Posted February 18, 2014 Hm, can't recall this specific topic, but there were some suggestions about plants and herbal medicine...somewhere buried beneath 10.000 "we need this gun" or "Fix the zombie wall glitch" threads.... And yes, i'd find it great (even if I'm pretty sure that these are be sunflowers...), but hey, why not both, one for medicine, the other one for food? :) And since the medic/health system is reworked at the moment, maybe there will be a spot for "herbal medicine".... Hm poppies in DayZ...i sense a drug discussion coming in this thread...i feel it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-MadTommy 367 Posted February 18, 2014 Love to see this kind of thing. But you should need to find a 'survival medical book' in order to be able to do complex medical 'crafting'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadAsh (DayZ) 1513 Posted February 18, 2014 Poppies aren't large. However, if indigenous it would be very likely that poppies would spread on unattended fields. But then again the apocalypse in the game is too recent for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nienko 41 Posted February 18, 2014 Canabis? Works as painkiller. Overdose and you get a blured screen and can't sprint for a while. Simple. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe if they have DayZ Takistan then we'll see cannabis growing around the place, can't see that happening in Chernarus though :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadAsh (DayZ) 1513 Posted February 18, 2014 These look pretty big to me....http://www.vice.com/en_uk/Fringes/heroin-holiday They do? They don't to me. There is certainly a lot of them. But they aren't that big. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerbilschooler 229 Posted February 18, 2014 Cannabis is nowhere near as effective a painkiller as Papaver somniferum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tatchell (DayZ) 73 Posted February 18, 2014 They do? They don't to me. There is certainly a lot of them. But they aren't that big. Haha well on the scale of flowers I just think of little things in your garden :p I don't spend much time in sunflower fields so I guess i have low expectations...

LaughingJack (DayZ) 767 Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Predicted it. PRE-DIC-TED IT.Please derail some of the useless threads, like everyone that Grimey makes.
