some suggestions for food.

[star-lord252 83]

When I first played the game I thought this so little diversity in food so I made this thread.

1.types of food-i believe there should more types of food besides just cans and fruit veggies. Ex-bread loaf maybe still in bag, a package of processed meat like sandwich ham,cheese, bag of chips, candy bars or just candy bars.

2-types of drinks-i think this part should be expanded more alcohol drinks(yes it can make you drunk), re add the zulta soda, different sizes of water bottles, juice, carton of milk,six pack of soda or water(extremely rare spawn).

3-rotten stuff.... Don't know why it was removed but when it was in it was so hard to find regular non rotten. I think it should be re added but fresh is much more common(unless it was removed for bug reasons don't see why it can't come back in). Or if not this how about rotten food in hardcore servers that's why its called hardcore.

4-animations..... I believe there should be a animation for peeling fruits w peelable skin and a animation for opening canns.

5-food suggestions-steak (not from animals),ground beef, sausages,bacon,fish(not from animals),shrimp,chicken(not from animals),turkey,ham(not from animals),biscuit,peanuts, blue berries, rasberrys,eggplant,cucumber,corn,watermelon,cantelope,spinich,muchrooms,strawberry,Russian chezk or other eastern Europe type of food,meat vegetable, fruit,or other type of thing that is found in eastern Europe households.

Tell me what you think what to change what to add and ext.

I dont think processed meat and any other for that matter would ever be found in a reasonable state to eat due to no electricity for refrigeration. Unless it was ...salami ?That's why meats need to be extracted from animals. I agree with pretty much everything else  I would like to see diff sized bottles and containers. I remember playing zomboid with my brother and he had this idea for when we would visit eaCh house that we tried to loot. Filling pots with water and placing  under the sink cupboards before we left. I would love to be able to do that in dayz but cupboards are not accessible yet

Tell me what you think what to change what to add and ext.

1) I'm sure they will add in more processed food types as development proceeds.  Keep in mind most of this would not last very long without refrigeration/preservation.

@Liquidcactus Processed meat like sausages (depending on the type) are made to be self preserving.  That said, some whole kielbasa links will last much longer than that packet of bologna you'd find in the super market at room temperature.

2) FYI Vodka has been 'fixed' so I'm sure it won't be long.  Someone even suggested being able to brew beer (while he suggested it for the wrong reason ((using it as an alternative to boiling water)) he did bring up some good points), again it's still early so it won't be a priority to implement a lot of variety, IE there's no real reason to test the difference between Vodka, Rum, and Whiskey, now Vodka, Beer, and Kvass on the other hand would be something to test.  Later on when we get into beta I think we'll see more variety when it's just a mater of doing the art for a new soda can.

3) If I remember right, they took rotten food out for now because of how persistence is going to work, or at least how they want it to work.  No rotten food will spawn, only pristine food.  As time goes on it will go through the stages (pristine, worn, damaged, ruined) before turning rotten.  So you might find rotten food laying around but at one time it was pristine, but no one got to it in time.

4) True, but again we're still in early alpha, more animations will come.

 

I would like to see us able to make more food or at least preserve food.  IE grind/cut up meat, stuff it into intestines to make sausage, scrounge up ingredients to make things like pocket pies or other such meals that would give more benefits than their individual ingredients.  I'd also like to see us actually able to cook food other than just to kill bacteria.  IE eating a can of beans you had on the fire for a bit to warm up quicker in the colder months/nights.  Smoking meat rather than just generic 'cooking' so you don't just kill 10 cows, cook the steaks and stuff all that meat into a tent to last forever, (that would probably fall under the 'rotten' food or life cycle category)

I agree w you on the meats but we can still have some that aren't good to eat, I wish I could access everything like the fridge and closets but I cant odly.

Wonder if the all original ak 47 can make an appearance.it would probably be rarer than an akm and 101. Not sure if ps01 scope can be attached.this gun will just be a substitute for the akm ak 74 ak 101.

Before Rocket left he wanted to make containerized items, IE being able to dig into cabinets and fridges.  I don't know if they scrapped the idea or not (someone suggested they did, but it was part of a 'this game sucks' rant filled with misinformation), however I would think when barricadeing becomes more than just 'lock door' they'll start work on cabinets and such again, that and when persistence is more what they want it to be.

Highly doubt it.  Performance wise I think there's only minor differences between the original AK and the AKM and almost no visual difference.

 

Off topic, try to keep your suggestions seperate, IE don't post gun suggestions in your food suggestion thread.  Keeps things tidy around here.

oops lol I though I was in the other one my mistake. But the original ak would fit in better than others especially ak 101 but remember not everything has to be a total different gun and not everything has to be used a lot a gun is a gun if you go in a barrack and find a ak 47 90% chance your gonna take it. Example, cr 527 your substitute for the mosin if you can't find a mosin i know I would take it even if I don't have a mag.the devs are more intrerasted in adding more weapons that fit in the environment and some unique weapons. Ak 47 fits it and it is the most widely used assault rifle in the world(besides the m16). But if it doesn't get added imm happy w my ak 74 And akm. Lets all stay on topic here food my mistake for putting my ak in here. Edited January 25, 2015 by DaNic2553
