Compus - around the outer circumference of the face on mechanical watches, displayed on the face on digital watches.
Temperature - useful for the new weather/temperature mechanics
Sunset/sunrise - idk how useful this could be tbh but I seen it as a feature on one watch.
Alarm - many uses.
Stop watch - meet back here in 5?
A little flashlight? - maybe not?
I think an item like this is useful as it fills many roles and prevents the need to carry a Compus, a thermometer, a time piece, etc as separate items.
Could go further and have players spawn with these to declutter the ui as a lot of info could be displayed on the watch.
Wear the watch “palm up” so you can see it whilst holding guns/items.
I actually like this idea, not too extremely but complex enough to warrant it’s addition, it’s simple in concept but can be really convenient.
Maybe you should be able to craft it too?
I was thinking
2 scrap metal + clock + gps + flashlight + compass + blowtorch and Crafting level III
If items such as placeable thermometers and alarms etc. are added as items, then they would be included in the recipe.
It almost reminds me of the PDA from Terraria, where you use several other accessories to make one really useful device that displays loads of useful information.
Yes. I was going to say that, providing crafting is similar in II.
Why not? It makes the game a bit more linear, so you can’t just get lucky and make a makeshift car right off the bat, it makes you grind for a while before you can jump into complex crafting. I personally approve of the concept and hope something similar return in 3.0, it just keeps you on your feet imo… Well, not really, but it gives something to aim for, makes the game a bit trickier.
Very good idea, maybe also something on the watch similar to what Apple did with the Walkie Talkie app on the Apple Watch, where you could communicate with teammates if they also have a watch or another communication device.
i would rather have a system where you need a crafting bench for high tier items and you would need other tables to make ingredients for those high tier items e.g. a furnace, bench saw, anvil.
I do still think there should be a crafting level, just not that it unlocks crafting recipes but that it improves the quality of what you are making and also how fast you craft, and also that you might need to have a certant level to be able to use high tier blueprints.
And also what @AtleSt said about different crafting stations, wich has already been confirmed in the unturned ll trello and 4.0 wishlist trello
I’m satisfied too. I totally forgot that crafting isn’t going to be instant anymore.
Which means… No more accidentally crafting a chair when turning planks into sticks… And… Several other instances like that.
My life is complete.
