Ok, just to clear things up from the get go, I haven't seen anyone else post anything about this. If you have, or you know of a mod like this please tell me. Now in this post there are three general topics I would like to talk about. Firstly, new ways to get water. Rain barrels are good, don't get me wrong but they're very dependent on, you guessed it, rain. So you could be killed by a dry streak. I have two ideas related to getting water, and one other thing, for lack of me knowing a better word for it. The first way of getting water is using the river as a source of "bad water" which basically means it's not decontaminated, so you could get a disease from it, (plants too maybe?) however you could add bleach or boil the "bad water" in a pot to create a regular pot of water . The other idea is digging for water. Now this may or may not be unrealistic, I'm not quite sure. So, with this you would use the spade (now it has a use other than a weapon, yay) to dig a hole, and you may find some water which you could gather into a container. This would be "gritty water", which you could filter using a piece of clothing, or a sheet. The other thing I spoke of earlier, is to where you can plant within like 5 squares of the river, and it won't need to be water. However, the risk to doing this is that if there is ever a long period of rain, the river may flood, causing it to rise and destroy everything in those 5 squares. The second thing I wanted to talk about is different tools... things. Ok, so in real life when something like an axe or hammer in broken, its the handle that has broken, not the actual head. So maybe you could disassemble the broken tool, or remove the head or something, and then use the sturdy sticks to make a new handle, for said tool. This would only work for things like the hammer, axe, spade, and sledgehammer, but still. Another thing would be being able to dig something like a trench with the spade, and use that to "capture" the undead, and kill the more safely, but if too many get in, they will like climb over each other and get out (no idea if this could actually work in game). Maybe also finding things like rocks, glass, ect. in the areas with either trash cans, or out in the wilderness, and use those to make crude tools, which would be less effective, and break faster, but get the job done none the less. The third and final thing I would like to talk about is climbable posts. This is basically just a thing so that you don't need to build stairs, then destroy said stairs to get a base set above the ground. What it would be in like a normal wooden post, but it could be climbed and stood on top of, at which point you would right click on the top part to climb back down, somewhat like a sheet rope. Now I have no idea how feasible any of these ideas are, but any kind of advice would be appreciated. I would love to make this mode myself, but I have effectively no coding skills.
