This seems about perfect IMO

They did say in the recent thursadoid that they were reducing car sizes...

That needs to be a thing

D

Now this would be awesome!

I would like to be able to have a mix of shamblers, fast shamblers, sprinters (and, perhaps these runners) and crawlers. That is, I would like to have 4 or 5 different zeds based on speed, and be able to set the percentage of each. For example: Shamblers: 40% Fast Shamblers: 30% Runners: 20% Sprinters: 5% Crawlers: 5% It would be cool to have the same for the other lore settings, so you could always get really unlucky and run onto a group of sprinting, bloodhound, eagle eyed, genius, strong, tough zeds without having to set it so that they are all like that.

I mean, that would be cool. But it would be a heckton of work.

Maybe actually using the skill or ability could also increase retention time. So, if you actually start building a bunch of metal boxes, you get the hang of it for longer.

All perfectly reasonable suggestions imo

I completely agree. The game needs more ways to hurt yourself

My sense is that the trait in the game includes all blood (as you cannot perform first aid on another).

879. Shoes should wear out over time and not all shoes should fit your character. Wearing shoes that don't fit should cause pain and reduce running speed. Going without shoes, on the other hand, should run the risk of damaging your feet.

876. Occasionally, it would be cool to come across a crashed helicopter. 877. Clothing should rip and need to be sewed. 878. You should be able to wrap a sheet around yourself to get some warmth

848. Also, to add to this, it would be nice to have a sandbox option to have some zombies actually get stronger/faster over time. (maybe they're particularly well fed...) 849. You should occasionally spawn with a digital watch. I know that I had a digital watch in the 90's.

...AWESOME!

It occurred to me that the skill Should be useful for trapping larger ' game' at higher levels. You Should be able to create pit traps, or those 'sharpened tree branch stabby' traps, and so on. These should probably require a recipe. Also, you Should be able to create non lethal traps, and keep mice as pets.

Great stuff: "...Cereal or popcorn to tame, leave a trail into a wire cage... " Excellent way to expand the trapping system: non lethal traps. Actually, the skill Should be useful for trapping zombies and other survivors (lethally and non lethally) at higher levels

There should be an electrician recipe to convert a car battery to a short range power source (like a generator but more limited). It should require a battery charger at various intervals

I really like everything about this except making sewing a skill. It's not that It isn't a skill; it clearly is. It's just that it's not that useful in terms of survival.

Well yes, it should be a combination system. But driving really is a skill, and there is a substantial difference between a professional and an amateur. I mean, sure I'm a decent driver, but I'm not going to be able to compete in the Indy 500 no matter how good my ride is

839. Dirty cookware. Once we use a frying pan or cooking pot (etc.) they should become dirty (cleaned using dish liquid and water). Using dirty cookware introduces (or increases) the chance of getting sick from eating the cooked food

827. Eating yogurt/cereal/soup/etc. with a spoon. I was eating yogurt today, and it struck me that it would be a lot more difficult to do without a spoon. So, I was thinking, what about this: eating most foods is slower and you don't get the full nutrition value from the food-- spillage and whatnot--if you don't have a spoon equipped. If you have a spoon available, you will equip it when eating the appropriate food items

Great ideas

This is a cool idea. Honestly, I do think that the game could use a few more stats.
