Blood donations

[ssential 0]

We probably all know the situaton. Your friend has been hit by a bandit or got attacked by zombies and is falling unconscious every 2-3 minutes because he lost too much blood and you got no blood packs left. You need to change plans and have to find the nearest hospital which is very difficult if your frend is falling unconscious all the time. That's where blood donation comes in. You could sacrifice your own blood and make a blood transfusion, at least to the point where your friend is stable and then head to the nearest hosptial.

I'm not entirely sure on how to implement it though.

I think it could work if the blood bag is like the water bottle which you can refill.

Refill your blood pack by either a "fresh" dead survivor (decreases humanity?) or refill it with your own blood.

It sounds as if you're trying to make the game easier, give more options to the player to survive.

Maybe true to some extend (so what?) but definitely not entirely true. If you could actually fill your blood bags with the blood of a fallen 'survivor', all living survivors are automatically being larger targets.

If we scratch that feature and only have blood donation, then you'll sacrifice your own blood to give it someone else, leaving you with less blood. The chance that you die is higher. Sure, you now got a friend that actually can stand up for 10 minutes but if one of you funks up, you're both dead, because none of you has a high blood count. Definitely not that easy ...

You could just give your friend beans. Eating restores blood.

Yeah, we did that, but we never reached that magic mark where you stop falling unconscious (if there is one). IMO we should remove that. Giving players 300-400 blood each time he eats something, that's the definition of "It sounds as if you're trying to make the game easier".

Imo give players blood over time while the increase rate is defined by how sated you are. And make it so that you get hungry faster if you have less blood.

I like the idea, it still requires a needle and such to be found though. Which should be made very rare so that hardly any players have it. Just another item to have that might be useful in some of the situations.
