Harvesting woodlands bounties

[KingOfShrews 9]

I will list them separately in a simple format xD

• Tree's that produce nuts? I mean why not? They shouldn't do this all the time but sometimes they occasionally drop a large number of nuts that can be picked up and even stored in containers, which can be eaten later. A A lot are needed to be eaten to fill you up and you cannot live off them sustainably as it is a rare occurrence.
• Mushrooms? They could grow in the woods on tree's or tree stumps/logs. Some could be edible and others could be poisonous which means you need to learn from previous experiences! They spawn on randomly and cannot sustain someone enough to keep them alive. The poison ones could be force fed to people if they've been handcuffed.
• Fruit Tree's! I don't think I've ever seen a ripe fruit. They could be just a few apples and drop from a tree occasionally but are like the nuts so are a rare occurrence.
• Herbs! Some could be edible and some might even have small healing qualities. They would also respawn after a long period of time which means they, like the other things I have listed are not sustainable but help you survive.
• Poisonous plants! You could lace your sharp melee weapons with poison which can seriously disable a player after a long period of time. The poison could cause the player to pass out and become unconscious or maybe even kill the player if a dangerous plant is used! Like all of the above they also take a long time to respawn and are considerably rare. You can also force feed people plants if you handcuff them, like rotten fruit etc.
• Sea weed which can be found on the beach and can be eaten after being cooked. In real life sea weed can improve a persons immune system so could do something similar in game if possible. It spawns randomly across the beach but also is a pretty rare occurrence so cannot be counted on for survival.

All these ideas would make the game feel more survival themed and also add to it's great detail. They all would be difficult to find if you don't know what you're looking for and are camouflaged so look as if they are just part of the scenery. Finding them would be down to chance and they cannot be farmed very easily as they take a long time to respawn so are not very sustainable.

Please share your thoughts on this as I am very interested to see what other people think of my idea. :)

Nice ideas.

 

(But let me point out that the plural of "tree" is "trees", not "tree's". Lose the apostrophe.)

dont forget about the sunflowers should be able to eat those as well

[CGNoodlePot (DayZ) 149]

We better add the sea weed.

 

Then add some cooked rice, crab meat and you will get a Japanese Roll.

love it :) But I think apples could be a bit more usual as there are already apple trees (and orchards) in the game. Just do it as with the searching for berries, but in this case you can pick apples. Of course, I do agree, that this is a temporary solution to quiet down a bit of hunger, it's not enough to survive on. If you just keep eating apples you'll start throwing up, making you feel sick and hungry again.

Very good ideas all of them.

If you could also add behives and honey in this list,

i would be content.

Don't make survival too easy... Only thing I'd approve are mushrooms. Maybe some psychedelic mushroom as well :D
