Buildings and General Suggestions

[NeedlessMemeing]

@diOracle

Buildings: It should be more than just places to look for loot, service buildings like the police and firefighters can have radios or maps that can be used to update your own map or find an idea where to go next, maybe with the radios going static on repeat with this message of a safe area but apparently overrun by the time you arrive.

I agree that some buildings should look like they have been overrun, and not look like they were nuked. The radio suggestion is actually pretty good.

@diOracle

Water purification buildings can also be cleared and be used to provide clean water, though it needs to be powered and since the noise, be prepared to defend it against players and zombies, same goes with the power plants allowing you to power a small sector of the city, or maybe the whole building this is more better for multiplayer instead of generators littering around a player created “safezone”, without any wires and functioning through magic-induced gasoline.

I’m sort of against this, since the amount of work to actually get a working water service would be out of the technical knowledge of a survivor. That, coupled with the fact that the pipes would probably be damaged would make it a tad unrealistic.

@diOracle

Meatshops can have this frozen basement with meat or maybe rotten things since it has long been melted.

I’m sure this would probably happen if those types of buildings were added.

@diOracle

ACTUAL USE OF DOLLAR BILLS AND COINS, instead of using your own xp for transactions with NPCs, what do they do with xp anyway, eat it?

Currency would become worthless in the future. A much better solution would be trading, since without currency having worth, trading materialistic goods would be in the best interests of both the dealer and the receiver.

@diOracle

Helipads: You can use flares and radios to call for an airdrop, this can be used as replacement for the horde beacon, as the flares and chopper noise will attract or spawn a horde of zombies with your goal of holding the helipad safe from them to allow it to drop.

I mean, it seems a bit strange being able to call in airdrops.

@diOracle

Any kind of knife can be taped or attached to your rifles as this cheap bayonet, and bayonet attachments can be dismantled to act as a regular knife. I think this was posted but, yeah.

I don’t see any problem with this.

@diOracle

Weather: Fog and rain, any light source can still be seen through the fog and during fogs any sounds can echo and the zombie detection ranged can be buffed (Maybe add that you can add back the Anomaly through the fog, idk just another easter eggo maybe.). Your gun can jam in the rain and you can get temperature drops, raincoats or waterproofing can be added to the game, zombie detection range can be reduced during this weather.

Side effects for weather are a great idea.

@diOracle

GPS: You should be able to see other players with the GPS, or you could hide yourself with a toggle-able option, you can set your frequency on radios and walkie-talkies to create a chatroom for you, or a public frequency for everyone.

I don’t see why this should happen. I actually made a post about maps in 4.0, so you should check it out. Charts, Car GPS And Military GPS

@diOracle

You can throw trash around to attract zombies or something.

This would probably need a system first for picking up items, which would be a great addition itself.

@diOracle

You can vault and maybe do a sprint attack while running, basically a melee that does extra damage.

Extra melee attacks are planned, to my knowledge.
