Glues & Sharpening Stones.

[Draco122 412]

Something I think that hasn't really had much of any thought put in, is the topic of repair items and with that, I'd like to suggest adding in Glue's to DayZ as a way to repair items. In addition I'd like to try and resuggest the use of adding in Sharpening Stones to repair bladed weapons.

 

Currently we have

• Weapon Repair Kits (for a majority of firearms)
• Sewing Kits and Leather Sewing Kits (for a majority of basic and leather clothes)
• Duct Tape and Stones (which can be used to bring clothing and bladed weapons back from Badly Damaged to a Damaged State)

So what would "Glues" do, well for the most part they would offer a small to medium repair rate on Melee weapons, Tools, Helmets and other items that aren't a fabric or leather that have become damaged and repair them to a "worn" status.

 

They can also be used for medical purposes such as sealing wounds like sewing kits, but care should be taken as the wrong glue could lead to a small chance of gaining a toxic reaction and the player would therefore become sick.

 

There are ideally four types of "Glue" I could see being in DayZ:

• School Glue - Really cheap, inexpensive stuff you'd see everywhere in Office's and Schools. This would be the most basic glue you could find, offers a small repair rate on most tools, melee weapons even clothes and helmets.
• Wood Glue - More common in carpentry, this glue is used for treating wooden based tools (such as the splitting axe) but still works okay on non-wooden tools.
• Medical Glue - Found in Clinics and Hospitals, this glue has been rated safe for use in medical purposes on humans. Even those that are rated for use on animals are even perfectly safe to use as well. They do not run the risk of getting a sick status from its use.
• Industrial Adhesive - An extremely strong, rapid setting adhesive that can be used on metals, electronics and a number of other items. By far the strongest of glues with the largest repair rate. Found mostly inside Industrial Zones.

Lastly are Sharpening Stones, they should come primarily in a three stone pack (which has stones for Coarse, Medium and Fine) and work like a Sewing kit. Each use degrades it down little by little but repairs your damaged bladed weapons back to a "Worn" status.

I think you should be able to pour Industrial glue in the eyes of a fresh spawn...
