Empty cans

[steam-76561198085562680 13]

Hello! I find it a bit strange after you eat some canned food empty cans just disappear. It would be great to add empty cans to this game as well as new mechanics for them. For example using a rope with some cans to craft an improvised trap, like when you place it on the ground and some players step on it, they create noise which let you find out their location. Or maybe using empty cans to collect water and drink it (but it's impossible to place it to the inventory at the same time). And of course throwing these cans help you to distract zombies, this mechanic already exists, but there are not many things in the game which you can throw away to zombies without regretting. Such things seem to go very well with the atmosphere of the zombie apocalypse 😉

I like this idea, but only if you have enough room in your inventory for the empty can to fit.  The server would lag out all the more if it had to keep track of everyone's empty cans, but having the empty can go back into the person's inventory to then be used for some of the things you've said here would work.

If the player then discards the empty can, it could simply vanish rather than be placed on the ground (or despawn very quickly like after 60 seconds perhaps).
