As I mentioned in another post, game needed a craftable, easy to produce stabbing weapon. We can craft raw axes and hammers, and wood glue offers excellent repair chance for baseball bats and axes. http://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php/topic/13353-jaw-stabbing-heres-another-approach-to-engage-zeds-effectively/ On the other hand, stabbing weapons are limited. Butter knives are too much fragile. Kitchen knives are not that much fragile, but not reliable; if you also take consideration that they are not available at every kitchen. Hunting knives are very rare, I find 2-3 in gun shop (West Point) and nowhere else in immediate vicinity (there are also 2-3 of them in gun range, eastern part) So, when it comes to stabbing, screwdrivers were my favourite in terms of availability and durability. Unfortunately, we cannot repair them. So I thought it would be a good idea to add some craftable, stabbing weapons. Crude Stake: somewhat equivalent to butter knives in performance/durability Material: Tree Branches. Tool: KitchenKnife/ButterKnife/HuntingKnife/Chipped stone Wooden Stake: somewhat equivalent to kitchen knives in performance/durability Material: A Plank produces 2 stakes. Tool: Saw and Kitchen Knife / Hunting Knife. Requires woodworking level 1. And also a "fire hardened" version. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_hardening Hardened Stake: A little inferior to the screwdriver in terms of durability Material: Wooden Stake. Tool: Matches or Lighter. Also can be craftable if you have a campfire kit in your inventory. Requires woodworking level 2. I will add the file shortly. Any comments and suggestions are welcome stakes.zip
