pills should act more like ammo

[rotteck 104]

hi guys,

 

i dont know if this has been suggested before, if yes, im sorry.

 

 

so i would basically like the pills to be more like ammo, so you would find a box of lets say painkillers.

this box, would not be consumable, but you could empty it.

after emptying it, the box would get replaced with a "pills" item, that you would be able to consume.

 

- the description of the boxes should be the one ,the pills have right bow

- the model of the boxes should be the one, the pills have right now

 

- after emptying it, the new item should be several pills (just like ammo)

- the description of the "pills" item should be something like: "red pills. they smell like shit." <-- just an example :D , so you cant recognize what they do (see next point)

- you should also be able to find the "pills" item (again, just like ammo).

 

 

tell me what you think about this,

Edit 03. April :

- the pills box should be a container, only for pills, refillable with every pills, not just the right ones (thanks for this idea, community)

Nice idea, maybe mixing pills to make your own remides?

Or mixing different pills into the same box, and handing them out to unsuspecting nubs >: )

They should make the packs cases and allow you to refill them.  Perhaps add a pill regiment container (the little plastic things with a spot for each day of the week) that could be used to store low numbers of pills.  Would be an awesome tool for medics.

Yes, number of pills like matchboxes.

You shouldn't take 2 pills, but rather one, take 2 painkillers if you have a stronger pain but must do the action twice.

Should be able to OD on things like painkillers.

What would you do with raw pills, though?

 

Where would you store them and how would you store them? Just put them in your pockets?

 

I do, however, like the idea of being able to switch the pills around from container to container, may that be the correct pills or not. Also gives you a thrill when picking up a box of painkillers. You never know if they're actually painkillers. :ph34r:

I'm only going with this idea if you also include suppositories!!

the better way to preserve pills is in their original sealed package, you can put pills in a container if you need to take them daily but in a survival setting where they can easly become dump or ruined by the environment i will store them in a well sealed pack so the actual sistem seems realistic to me.

 

instead i think we need a better container for medical stuffs, i'm thinking about some kind of medical bag, something like the ammo box with 8/10 slots for small items like pills, syringe, injection vials (actually usless), morphine and epi pens cause the actual first aid kit it's really small and if you need to bring the medical stuffs for the party you need load of space

 

My actual setup is:

1st kit: defibrillator + 2 epi pens

2d kit: 3 ready blood bags 0- (or saline if we don't have a 0- player)

3d kit: 2/3 morphine + 3 type of pills: antibiotics, piankillers and charcoal tabs ( it can save some noob life ;))

4t kit: 4 spot for bandages and 2 free for varius things like blood tests for newcomers

 

if in the future we'll need to bring also injection vials and few syringes will be really hard.  IRL i'm working for a medical study so i can say that all such things will certainly not full a backpack  ^_^
