Suggestion : Destroy/Destroyed Cars give Scrap metal

[DMstratz]

With scrap metal always in such high demand and its low spawn rate. it'd be great if you could get this by blowing up/damaging cars like hitting with a sledgehammer or hatchet.

I find that this s a great idea i would love to see such a thing in the game.

Yeah, it would be nice to be able to salvage vehicles. Maybe get scrap and vehicle repair parts off one. But need to make sure that you can't use it to fix the same vehicle. Make it so its totally destroyed once you get a random chance at scrap/repair parts.

Kind of like in DayZ Epoch were there is a bunch of broken down trucks and you can search them for engines gas tank scrap metal. It would be sweet.

I your opinion, to not exist of loot not understand. Where is the long time since the motivation in the game, when after 1 day has all been together? 

Straining to your heads and forms groups. Then the joy of playing is preserved longer. 

 

PS: I think there are still too many things you can find.

[TheHermit]

I kinda like it.

 

I mean cars are still somewhat rare, so it wouldn't be an issue of too much availability. I think it should require full energy/hunger/thirst/perhaps even minor damage, so if you get energized in the car it is your decision to use it for parts, or sell the vehicle for $K and retain energy. So it takes away some of the instant building capability.

This could implemented for all building materials, like take cinder blocks/mortar from an existing building. But for the salvage metal and cinder blocks you should need a rare tool to get the materials, and the tools would have a pretty high chance of breaking after salvaging the materials.

I like that idea......use a sledge hammer on wrecks to get scrap

[RIE_JACKTE(new)]

plus it would it keep car population fresh.

I like the idea but don´t think it would balance right, so easy to collect vehicle´s on restarts.. To those that say vehicle´s are rare are We even playing the same mod? after restarts vehicle´s are all over the place.

Maybe just make it a small chance then? Make it so you could waste a car and not get anything to prevent people from doing it too often. 

[JackalopeHunter]

Yeah, random chance of dropping stuff. We were playing on a server running Stratis and there are vehicles all over the place missing wheels. Yet you have to search for hours to find a repair part even with 6 people in a group. If we had the option to dismantle the ones that were there and have a chance to repair another would be really nice. 

 

Maybe make it a small chance and the vehicle has to be damaged in the first place?

I don't know if there are plans to make the repair/salvage system like in DayZ Epoch, but if there aren't, here are my suggestions:

 

• Salvaging from repairable vehicles = small chance to find a random amount of vehicle repair parts
• Every salvage action will damage the vehicle, more damage = lower chance to find parts and maybe even a chance of explosion (to spicen things up a bit ;))
• This way you would only try to salvage a vehicle a few times before it's not worth the effort and risk anymore

• Salvaging from rusty wrecks = small chance to find a random amount of small salvage metals
• The bigger the wreck the better the chance to find some metal, or even a large metal sheet
• A wreck is salvagable only once per server restart

• Salvaging as well as repairing should be a timed actions. Insta-repair is nice but not very immersive :P
