How apple/berries should work

[exwoll 255]

Apple in trees should be limited at a random quantity or none at all per tree. 

Once that a player checks a tree, if he found nothing there, it means that the tree is empty. 

If he manages to find something, it means that there are X apples in a tree that can be gathered till he find none. 

Apples spawns should be limited per area, and slowly accumulate if no one takes them for a loong time

I was thinking perhaps a visual cue would be better low poly fruit models floating in the apple tree might be a better solution so you can pick them individually rather than searching the tree. Same for the berry bush. BI has probably tried it internally already though maybe it worked and it's on it's way into DayZ or it didn't due performance being affected too much?

I am kind of a fan of a increasing chance of ruined quality until empty.

Fresh Tree (lets say tried 0 - 20 times) 

• Shows a tree with apples on it.
• When Searched it says: I found an apple
  • 1-5        | Pristine
  • 5 - 10    | Pristine or Ruined Same 2:1 ratio
  • 11 - 15  | Pristine or Ruined : 1 : 1
  • 16 - 20  | Pristine or Ruined : 1 : 2

Empty Tree(21st try)

• Tree with no apples
• Not Searchable

Note:  The numbers are made up and can be any number that the devs deem fit.

Thats a good idea too.

Also would be cool if you could get sick from only eating apples XD

Yea, my ideal is very similar to yours.. Except with mine once a tree is barren it is done until server restart. I am for the water pump being similar. The water quality should also decrease and provide less hydration the more it is used. Until of course, the water pump is dried up. Which will last until the server restarts.

Should last till persistence is restarted IMHO, there a re a lot of areas/towns where people never travel trough

Yea, I think the lack of food/water will encourage travels to other areas. Which will allow some or most of the towns to see people.
