Suggestions

Hello. Lately I have put a lot of hours in the game on xbox and I have some ideas, so lets start. I am only trying to give this gane more interactions to create lot more things to do.

- Fix hammers

- Fix showels

- Fix first aid pouches with sewing kit or duct tape.

- Fix yellow (personal) containers 12space with duct tape or epoxy.

- Ability to put full backpack in storage rather than only empty ones. Does not make sense, why I should put empty backpack in my car? 

- More vegetables Cucumber, bell pepper, onion.

- Ability to use coocking pot to make stew or soup if used lets say (meat, potato, onion, zuchini) As pots already there, you add water and ingredients and when the stew/soup is ready you can drink it out from pot?

- Ability to coock canned food. ( Put unopened can on top of fireplace in roasting slot only and wait until it pops, can opens and food inside is coocked giving you chance for better nutrition )

- Base building - Ability to put window in existing fence, and then you can reinforce it, or not, just use extra nails and planks to have window.

- Build fence higher by one or 2 floors.

- Build smaller fences to make garden look nicer.

- Add dye packs to colour hair or beard (for fun)

- Add spray can/dye to colour clothes or weapons.

- Add trousers with knife sheet and pistol holster slot as attachments in place of gun belt. Or just pistol holster. 

- Create option to have gun in each hand or add special dual pistol only option, so you can shoot zombies or animals quicker with pistols.

- Create lockers that you can interact (open/close/lock with 4 digit combination) idealy like the inhouse metal fireplace where you can open the doors, same idea to locker but without an option to lockpick it.

- Optional, maybe to create possibility to lock sea chest with padlock?

- In some places there is pile of metals, can you make it interactable to gather some sheet metal, idealy like planks, and to create special tool to seperate them or either crowbar would do.

- Possible to permanently remove tree, idealy to cut it down and then use showel to remove tree stumps, so people can put tents nicely.

- As there is a lot of fuss about car damage, lags and crashes, maybe to reinforce cars? By adding extra armor using sheet metal. And some pipe(cut with hacksaw). 

Stability issues:

Player drops underneath map, alone or in vehicle.

Trucks flying and bouncing like lowriders.

People have mentioned before about backpacks in cars. But if you think about it, an empty backpack takes up little space because it will flatten down. If it's full it will take up more space.

But in game it doesn't. Same as cooking pot. I can use all 12 spaces but weight(spaces) doesn't increase on cooking pot. Same as any other items.

Weight and space are different. A cooking pot is rigid and will take up same space full or empty whilst the weight changes. A backpack is soft and will change weight and size when full. The weight increases in both items when full, in game

What I ment is if backpak takes lets say 40 spaces in car, then it does not matter, full or empty, it will take 40 spaces. Therefore, why not allow people to load it up before they put it in car? Or if the backpack is empty, to give a chance to fold it as you say and then it would take less space, lets say 20 out of 40. That is the whole idea. As Olga has 400 spaces in trunk and I put backpack in there it will take those 40 spaces and it does not matter, full or empty.

I see what you are saying, but backpacks are already folded up when it comes to placing them in the car (when they are empty).

Mountain backpack has 80 slots, but takes up 35. But you are saying that it would be nice if you could just stuff the 80 slot backpack in the trunk already filled up? I agree with that, but then it should take up 80 slots instead of 35.

Yes. Exactly. 🙂 btw haven't noticed that space change. Will check. 🙂

I mean they don't change space size, it's just that they are configured in a way that doesn't let player to stash them if there is something in their inventory, thus they are "folded" and only take up 35 slots even if they can take 80. All it would need is a "if there are items, make it take up 80 slots".

In regards to cooking and canned food, i'd love to be able to make your own canned food. Like if you would get an empty tin can after you eat the canned food (or have to option to drain it like the bottle when you look at the ground), and then you put meat, fat and an empty tin can into a cooking pot and cook it on a fire for a long time and it creates canned meat.

Canning food is a little more complicated than that! But it would be useful to be able to keep an empty can for other uses.

Brilliant idea.

Yeah, to craft into scrap metal and then scrap metal into metal sheets.

I was thinking more for boiling water on a stove to purify. I think someone also once suggested crafting an alarm with cans and rope. 

Of course, we all know the best use...two cans joined together with a long string 😉

Or the idea of what I said about using cooking pot, to make stew, we could use tin can to do it.

Yeah i know, but, i mean, its a game. I wouldnt be able to carve a hook out of bones using a stone knife IRL either, i believe. Nor would i be able to install a radiator into a car in 0.1 seconds.

Yes, I appreciate that, though actually you can craft a bone fishing hook. That's a real thing. I guess all I'm saying is, it would be impossible to can food from an old tin as you wouldn't be able to reseal it. Creating preserves with a cooking pot and an empty jam jar would be more feasible.

I would agree here, to preserve food, jar would be better idea to re-seal it. But empty tins can be used to cook something inside them and then eat from it. And to give lifespan lets say to re use empty tin 2 - 3 times before it is ruined. Would be nice to create a stew? Or craft some herbal medicine or tea, that would help instead of charcoal tablets. Or use honey and boiled water and herb(tea). To help with fever. Ideas for reusable tin cans are a lot, just need to create them in game and then expand ideas.

Yeah, herbs and poutices would be a good addition as another way to create medicines, especially if you're out of luck looting hospitals. The Long Dark utilises this idea. Coffee boosting stamina for short periods, herbal tea to help with sickness, etc.
