lauri7x3 100 Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) Would be could to have some craftable draisine to use on rails so there is no need for big trains. it would only need 2 wheels,a gear,some scrapmetal and a pipe. super easy, super useful. maybe u can even craft "addons" or bigger ones to take some more players or items Edited September 28, 2014 by Lauri7x3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xCAPx 349 Posted September 28, 2014 that would be very nice. I often think about that, its a great idea - I like it :thumbsup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rybec 339 Posted September 28, 2014 That'd be really cool, things would get interesting if you met another one coming your direction. Do you blap them or try to swap with them? Although, you'd run into problems. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IkaikaKekai 1957 Posted September 28, 2014 I actually use one of these, it's not as simple as you think. Granted it is fairly simple but just building one from scratch without a machine shop or the right parts would would be...not worth the effort.This is what you would be likely to find 'laying' around, FYI this is pretty damn big and heavy. You're not putting this on the tracks without A LOT of help and/or machinery. THIS is what you would want. Fairly heavy but you could still pick it up with a bit of effort.Keep in mind neither of these have gears attached to them. Trust me I'm an Engineer Brakeman.That'd be really cool, things would get interesting if you met another one coming your direction. Do you blap them or try to swap with them? Although, you'd run into problems. That's not a big of a problem as you think And I would assume it's just a minor map error rather than intended.. They're fairly light (I have to stand in the middle to pump to prevent it from doing a wheelie, then again Im 350+ pounds) One or two guys could easily derail and re rail it. I use a forklift to put it on and off tracks but that's because we store it in a shed away from the tracks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lauri7x3 100 Posted September 28, 2014 @bigmike. its maybe heavy but in the mod u could bear a helicopter engine.... so.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IkaikaKekai 1957 Posted September 28, 2014 That's the mod, they're going for more realism with SA. Vehicles are going to be harder than just 'engine parts' 'wheel' 'scrap metal' 'gas tank'. We're talking down to spark plugs here, and things like removing bulky objects like doors from other vehicles, and I highly doubt we're gonna be able to fit doors in our packs.

lauri7x3 100 Posted September 28, 2014 sure but this lead to a system where u can move these objects so my idea stays and this is just offtopic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sachad 1016 Posted September 28, 2014 So instead of making them craftable, maybe just add them to the game as a form of rail-only transportation? Add two or three along the entire length of the tracks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IkaikaKekai 1957 Posted September 28, 2014 My statement still stands, unless you have the right parts* and/or a machine shop building one from scratch would be a waste of time. *a lighter alternative to using wheelsets would be to use the tireless wheels of a car, could even use the entire axle as MOST cars/trucks wheel base are about the same size as standard gauge (US is 4'8.5", I think Russia/Eastern Europe is around 5' or so but either would 'fit'). Biggest problem in that case would be wheel slippage and you would still need to attach a gear or some other system to actually drive it. In WW2 the GIs took a Jeep, replaced the road wheels and with flanged wheels and welded hooks to the front and end to 'couple' with the euro wagons. The jeep was strong enough to pull at least one box car, possibly more and was used as a 'switcher'.A velocipede (one example shown bellow) would be easier to make from scratch, and I think there are even commercial kits available to make one from a bicycle.

degude 133 Posted September 29, 2014 I'd love to see them, one per server would be nice. Should require some additional parts to function, instead of "crafting" it. You also wouldn't craft a bike, etc. ;) Searching "Draisine" gives you:http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/195555-environment-wishlist/?hl=draisine#entry1970580http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/168039-transportation-handcar-the-perfect-transport/?hl=draisine#entry1711752http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/172760-great-idea-i-think/?hl=draisine#entry1762267 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
