New vehicle idea [PLEASE CLOSE]

---Standalone suggestion---

What about a bulldozer in DayZ?

Imagine, at a factory like in Orlovets, there must be some heavy machines that are required for the building process. Some could be evacuated before, but a bulldozer was left there, because there were objects, more valuable than a heavy, useless mechanism.

In the zombie apocalypse situation it appears in a new light. A powerful vehicle, that can clean out a road, go through the forest, smash down a zombie horde, etc. It gets... not vital, but important status.

Of course, it should be harder to fix than a usual vehicle, you'll have to find tracks, hydraulics for the dipper, lots of fuel etc. But it should not be too hard, maybe slightly easier than a chopper.

Stats:

Capability: 2 seats

Inventory: 30/6/3

Speed: Asphalt - 55 km/h, dirt road - 35 km/h, offroad - 20 km/h

Features: knocks down trees (but takes some damage), can break stuff with the dipper (has its own hp, fixed with hydraulics parts and scrap metal, also uses the dipper to remove shit like broken cars from the road. Has a lattice at the windows (optional). Has a tough body, can break houses (but takes high damage).

What do you think? IMO, this has a great potential.

Interesting, but if we start going mega specific with what we put in, I think the game might get a bit too convoluted and filled with stuff

The idea is good except for the fact that someone might start taking down tons of forest and such. Next thing you know the entire scenery looks like a complete mess.

A means to finally remove that shit off the roads? Awyis. Do want.

Thats why I put a standalone tag into the topic.

Bulldozer takes damage from breaking stuff. Now you can just dupe over9000 scrap metal and break everything, periodically getting out of the car to repair it. When the duping is fixed, you'll count it better to preserve the body hp for really tough situations.

Edit: edited the theme title.

Ppl, I'm waiting for feedback, especially from DayZ team (nearly impossible)
