Expand usefulness of the generator

[CTCrunch 1]

Generators should do more than light up xmas lights and charge batteries (which rarely die anyway). Here are a few recommendations:

1. Gas generators should be useable to heat player-built bases / existing map interiors. This would provide a satisfying endgame to players braving the cold and building bases... and provide a nice break from building fires if you're just chilling in your base. It would also be good to be able to defend your base without getting frozen to death by people trapping you during a raid.

2. Gas generators should be used to power refridgerators on warmer maps for extended food storage / blood storage (it really doesnt make sense to carry bloodbags indefinitely, but the system could do with an overhaul)

3. Allow the metal campfire tripod to equip the frying pan to give the tripod value i.e. a reason to pick it up. The crafted tripod currently makes the loot-spawned tripod useless since you can craft one anywhere.

4. Please rework basebuilding from scratch, it's a mess. Also... duping is crazy. Players are going to dupe heatpacks and all sorts of other nonsense. please fix asap! 

Great job with the new map!

Im pretty sure the devs arent willing to go that far for something a lot of players wont experience. 

personally, i think dayz is at its best when that feeling of a real and immersive world is present, so much so that there are tons of things you'll never know. But it seems like the devs right now are focusing on updates that really only  makes a big difference. Hopefully if they ever get more resources, theyll focus on things like that. Also, dont forget that they are still working on Dayz 2 right now. (i think)
