Meckon (DayZ) 0 Posted July 12, 2012 I suggest the incorporation of the ability to harvest/forage/scavenge scrap metal and possibly tires from the debris piles and vehicle wrecks that obstruct roadways and towns in Day Z. This would remove the pile or wreck and make the town more accessible to vehicles and provide materials. I realize the number of objects to harvest are finite and vehicle repairs are not so, while I would recommend decreasing the scrap metal spawn to encourage this activity I would not recommend its elimination. Improving the environment would also hint at a route any endgame or future of the game could take by providing the means to establish a base for a group, faction, or even some RP ideas of societal recovery. My preference would be to see this function necessitate a tool, preferably a Power Cutter. The idea being that whatever metal is there is not useful or transportable in its current state. This would force the player to use this tool in a primary weapon spot and make them more vulnerable to attack. Their vulnerability would in turn encourage teamwork with a buddy needing to cover. The tool would be extremely loud and likely aggro zombies and possibly players as well as shoot sparks up in the air. Would the tool require fuel? They do IRL but I don't know if that would be making it more annoying than fun.-Inspired by Arcoolka's "Real Time Settler" from Fallout 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
