The Quick Question Thread

[The Road Warrior (DayZ) 38]

I jumped in quick last night and I have two packets of tomato seeds and some lime - do I just need a spade now? Can I plant these things?

You'll need a Garden Hoe, Glass Green House, and Tomato Seeds, whilst the Lime isn't required it'll greatly speed up the growth rate.

Steps:

- Use Hoe on the Soil within the Green House.

- Add Lime to prepare the Soil.

- Add Seeds to the Prepared Soil.

Hope I've helped. B)

How long do the plants take to grow?

Soo.. is there anyone who can solve\explain to me the mystery of the various -16%water\sec stages. Which seem way to severe, causing about 75% water loss in mater of 10sec.

or point me out to more uptodate info (btw does Dayz use lua ?)

Not really. Getting food poisoning (vomiting) or diarrhea (...you know) in a survival situation will kill you in a couple of hours from dehydration. You lose a LOT of water when you vomit/poop (especially diarrhea)

Hey let's have a thread where you can ask a quick question for a quick answer. With the continuing state of change there's always going to be new answers and it's be a great thread to read through as it builds to glean good information.

 

I reckon we should add tips in too, but you only get to do that if you answer a question :)

 

First question,

 

What can you cook in a cooking pot and do you need water in it?

 

:)

The cooking pot is used with the gas stove, which I think still burns meat. Its not really good for that purpose YET. So its really just an item to carry meat in. It takes up 4 slots but can carry 5 peices of meat. Using it to cook does not require water.....It would be cool when water from ponds becomes tainted, we can boil it using a pot.

 

Fires do not require a pot to cook. You simply place the peices of meat in the fire slots and wait a few minutes then when they become cooked remove them quickly.

Which boots does the combat knife go in?

 

Military boots (not combat or jungle).

 

Never seen a combat knife, though, so it's irrelevant.

You know what is dicked up, is the military boots ware much faster then jungle boots. I kicked my miltary boots to the curb after having them ware out really quickly. Jungle boots are really good. I'm still yet to find a combat knife, or hunting too....So I just figured I'll go with jungle.

 

Heres my question......were the hell are the range finders at? I want one!

Two questions from me, any one found a smersh vest? And where you guys finding the range finder?

[Evil Minion 943]

I bet someone found a smersh vest - at least there are videos featuring the item.

 

I found my rangefinder in the long barracks at Pavlovo military base. I also found one in filled cargo pants in the Zelenogorsk military base prison but those were bugged and did not allow any interaction.

OK so I made a fishing rod but what do I do with the fishing hook - doesn't it go on the rod?

 

How do I dig for worms - is it a particular patch of ground I'm after?

 

Can anyone just give me the process from start to finish?

 

Thanks :)

Dig worms with shovel or hoe, add worms to fishing hook to get bait.

Combine ashwood, rope and bait.

Fish

And it seems you can catch sardines if you add bait to a cut plastic bottle and fish on the coast :)

Can you fill gasoline cans with water?

[BCBasher 2465]

Can you fill gasoline cans with water?

 

Yes, and you can fill water bottles with gas too. Drinking gas has no ill effects yet though.

[J4G 92]
