Berries, roots and Puritabs

[Spof (DayZ) 3]

Hey guys, I recently started playing DayZ and i have some things that might add to the game.

I live in Sweden and are used to take long 3-5 day hikes in the northern Swedish wilderness (Fjällvandra)

But when I am play DayZ I really miss that there is almost nothing to collect from the forrest. If lost in the woods in Sweden and most Europeian countries there are many eatable plants and Berrries throughout most of the year. So this is my suggestions that would make things more interesting when wandering about in the forrest.

To gain a small amount of Blood and the effekt of food, please add to item spawn list:

1.) Roots of beach reed (Found in some parts of the beach and in the ponds or lakes.)

2.) Berries on random bushes in the forrest (Adding food and small blood increase)

3.) Puritabs (watercleaning-pills). When lost in the wilderness there are lots of secure sources of water and as it is in DayZ I would rather use water from a small forrest creek than the wells insidse of the towns (regarding that you dont know if some dead body is contaminating the well). So you should add more water containers then just the bottle (like an empty jack daniels bottle, camelbacks etc) and make it possible to take water from all water sources except the sea. Than add a random feature like: "20 % chance of getting Sick / ill from all water if not using puritabs before drinking".

Best regards

I like this idea. Not a fan of berries. Much bigger fan of shooting and eating cows and sheep. Deer need to be in this game. Venison needs to add 20% chance of immortality. It's THAT good.

Ive often wondered why you cant eat the pumpkins you find in some gardens in villages. Im sure a few berries and root vegetables or even mushrooms would be a decent addition.

Mind you, it might be a good idea to have a trade off in having a significant risk to surviving off the land, such as having poisonous fungi and berries out there so there was a risk if you didnt know what you were looking for.

That's probably going too far... the game would need to come with a flight manual on survival ... :lol:
