tilarium Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Here's several random ideas I had that could make the game interesting. I've read a lot about moats around their forts = awesome! So how about workable drawbridges!? Thinking about drawbridges made me think about bridges. Bridges made me think about zombies crossing them so you'd have a quick way of stopping them. This made me think of burning the bridges. Of course to quickly destroy it you'd have to have it pre-soaked in gas, so we need gas. To get that gas to light you could use a torch, but that would likely kill you. You need to do it from a distance, with a fire bolt.

goremachine Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Opposed to your "medieval" ideas I'd like to see wiring, electricity, battery loaders, electrical light and solar panels or now with the rivers watermills for electricity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilarium Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Yes to all of that! Needing the gas to power the generators that can be cobbled together. With you 100% of the way on those ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinado Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 For starters I'd like to see something like a rope with knots. Functions like a ladder except that you can pull it up an let it down (maybe with a chance to break after some uses (rope --> damaged rope) so that the player needs to replace it from time to time). But would be crazy op against zombies right now so they probably need improvements first. I'd like the pimps to wait with giving the player to much more strong tools for defense because the survival aspect is already pretty lackluster right now. If the player gets more tools to defend that would only get worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just give it no way to repair so you'll have no choice but to make more. Made from the fibers, obviously. Wonder if there would be a way to make it as a tool but also as an expendable resource for some projects. You'd need to include rope in the drawbridges and rope bridges! To go with the rope, how about a grappling hook to attach it to so you can throw it. Actually! Rope as a resource and a grappling hook for climbable part that degrades with use and requires more rope to repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
