First Aid Kits, Stacking, Food and Bags

[Aeinna 0]

I did do a forum search and did not find any threads for this, so sorry if it has been discussed before!

I would like to see first aid kits that have their own inventory and hold items. Maybe even have three different types, a basic one that can be found in homes that has six slots and comes with pain pills, bandages, etc. A medium one that has 8 slots and then a large 10 slot one that comes with a blood bag found in hospitals, military sites, etc.

I also think bandages should stack up to a point, like 4 per stack. I also wonder if it is possible if some things could have multiple uses. Like a bottle of pain pills.

I did a search and saw someone made a thread about more food sources and they had beef jerky in there. That is something I would like to see with multiple uses as well.

Last suggestion is to have the ultimate bag. It would be very hard to find and even make you run slower but it could hold around 30 items.

I don't believe stacking is possible in the arma engine, and as for first aid kits, it's called a backpack. I don't think the arma engine allows for more than one. Also too much storage undermines the need for resupply, and turns everyone into pack animals.

I don't think it is unrealistic to eventually find and have a first aid kit (that holds medical items), in a mod that strives for realism.

Maybe I play the game differently but there is never enough storage. I grab and hold everything I can and keep looking for more stuff. To the point that I would like to have a tent base of some sort so I can keep hording whatever I find.

First aid kits already kind of exist, in the form of the various medical supplies. However a medical kit as a form of bag, is not really possible with arma the way it is. Also, you then have even more carrying capacity.

The point is to not have enough storage. It forces you to make crucial decisions about what to take. You can have a tent base (they're a bit buggy atm) to store your equipment, but people can and probably will raid it. You could also group up with friends and build a vehicle, as I believe you can store things in them.

I see nothing wrong with some more storage but then again I'd like to see this game go even further into realism. Most people would carry first aid kits, be able to carry more than just food and ammo.

I would even like to be able to plop down a hut and squirrel away as much as possible. It is about surviving, which to me means getting as much as possible. Being able to have more wouldn't stop me from wanting and grabbing more. As that is part of the point of the mod to me. If that isn't possible in this mod, okay then. Doesn't mean I wouldn't like to see it.

I also play with my husband and we have gotten friends to start playing as well. As for the tent, if we set one up and someone actually finds it, good for them.
