  1. Smartphones seem like something that, at first glance, would not be useful in a zombie apocalypse. There's no other survivors to call, and even if there was, they wouldn't work since there would be no one to man the phone reception, right? Well, that may be true for the calling purpose of the phone, or other style of phones, we're forgetting one of the main selling perks of a Smartphone - other tasks. Calendars, maps, mobile games, and other applications available at your fingertips; all useful things for your survivor. Smartphones would be a useful addition to add to Project Zomboid because Smartphones are useful for a survivor, allowing acess to an in-game map, the ability to see an extended calendar and open up new gameplay possibilities of setting up a schedule, mobile games to accommodate for boredom, and stress. "Wouldn't Smartphones simply be abused?" The idea I have in place to avoid this is rather simple - have Smartphones be fairly common along with a plug charge, but once the power goes out, so does the use of regular chargers. "But then Smartphones would only be useful for the first couple weeks. That's a bad idea." That's the turning point. There will be also be another, rare, type of charger out there. It is a solar charger. These will probably only be found in electronic stores or warehouses since they are not as mainstream. An example of a portable solar charger, in pink variant! "How would it work with the current inventory system?" At the moment, I picture a bar that represents how much batter is remaining for the pohone. When right-clicked, a drop-down of options such as 'View map', 'View calendar', 'View games', 'View other apps' with the option of having three top apps that would replace the first three options if you wish. "This still sounds a little powerful. Will there be different variants of Smartphones?" I picture three different types, a common one, a rare one, and an extremely rare one. Common ones would be cheaper variants of Smartphones that would carry less battery life, less apps, and overall of a lesser quality. Rare Smartphones would be better in those categories, but not as good as an extremely rare smartphone, which have the most premium apps, battery life, and build quality. I am sure Indie Stone could come up with more ideas on their own. I know this idea seems far-fetched, however overall, an addition of a Smartphone and its accessories would open up more gameplay opportunities, and help the survivor. What do you think of the idea? What are some suggestions/criticisms? Let's make this a good discussion.
