Building Materials on actual later spawn site?

[Demonica 311]

Hey Guys,

 

so I guess no one really knows for sure, but I'd like to pick your guys' brains a little. Sometimes when taking my morning jog through some smaller towns, I pass by building materials like stacks of 2x4's or stumble over bricks at constrution sites (makes sense, duh.).

 

But: when I see those materials, does that mean those will be actual spawn sites for them later, once base building and vehicles are implemented, or will they stay decorative, or will the material behave like any other loot and spawn somewhat randomly in size and numbers?

 

What was that like in the mod? Can we use the mod to conclude what's it gonna be like in the SA version?

 

Cause heck, if we can foresee which material spawns where, I'm sure there'll be campers up north hogging the places for their own bases ^^

 

Happy trails!

Construction sites are new to the standalone (never seen them in the mod). So I would assume there was reasons behind including them. Also there is construction sites all over. Not just up north.

Construction sites have been in the mod/arma for a very long time. That's where a lot of the parts for heli's and vehicles could be found also at the indurstial sites.

OP more that likely when base building is implemented the same rules will apply as in finding building material, the obvious place will be these locations. We'll just have to wait and see.

As has been said OP, construction sites aren't anything new, there are quite a few around the map (even more so now than in the mod). Speculation as to possible spawn points for base-building at this stage would be just that, speculation.

 

Like Maca said, they used to house parts for vehicles and the like, so we may see that system make a return. Although, now that we have garages in-game this may not be the case after all!
