DMstratz Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 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.

MPG Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I find that this s a great idea i would love to see such a thing in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackalopeHunter Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 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.

MPG Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odin750 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHermit Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 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.

ComatoseBadger Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 I like that idea......use a sledge hammer on wrecks to get scrap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIE_JACKTE(new) Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 plus it would it keep car population fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GasT Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make it so you could waste a car and not get anything to prevent people from doing it too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackalopeHunter Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 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?

DeVloek Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 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 Nic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
