ColonelJayce Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Since I'm getting into PZ again, I thought I would make a suggestion. I have already seen all 3 of the things that I am about to suggest listed on this forum, I just thought I would back their ideas and show my support without resurrecting 3 separate threads. Keep in mind that I do not have knowledge of the entire change log, and since I have only recently started playing, I may be rambling on about things that may already be implemented into the game. Problem-I feel like the chef profession, along with the cooking skill in general are bad trade-offs in comparison to other skills such as carpentry. While it is nice to be able to maximize food potential, I don't feel the need to be a dedicated cook, since you can easily find foods in town, grow them in your garden, go fishing, or be a trapper. While being a chef isn't necessarily bad, I feel like there are many other professions which trample over the usefulness of being a dedicated cook.Solution-I would suggest giving a player with a high cooking skill the ability to create foods with certain perks or bonuses, with potency based on cooking skill. This would allow a dedicated chef to prepare his group with certain foods that would provide temporary buffs such as reduced panic, increased strength, better accuracy, and increased stamina. Problem-Foraging is a very nice, and welcomed addition to any survival game. I feel like foraging has its uses, but it could be so much more. I feel like alone, foraging isn't something that would make a man rich, however I feel like it should be a means of substitution for other professions to acquire certain products (Albeit diluted products) that are difficult to find otherwise.Solution-Foraging should be a skill that also benefits either the group, or another profession. Adding a few very basic herbs to the game (Such as Aloe, Chicory, ect.) would allow a high level first aid player to treat minor wounds, and make a diluted substitute for other medical items. This could also apply to other professions, such as cooking, fishing, and trapping. Let me know of your thoughts on this.

BetaSpectre Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 IRLFarming > Foraging If any herbs can be foraged they should be farmed, now that said to farm you need initial items, which would be nice to find via foraging. Chefs shouldn't get buffed IMO good food isn't as important as keeping an anti zombie fence. The game is supposed to be realistic so no reason to have balanced stats.

stewydeadmike Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 actually I believe the devs have said they want to add herbs and stuff you can forage for and craft makeshift meds, in a future update. The Good Noob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Fisher Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Yeah, herbs and the botany trait are coming in Build 33.I agree that chefs should get food buffs. ColonelJayce and The Good Noob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberevan Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I'd also like to be able to weave plant fibers together to make very weak rope (I've done it before)It decomposes after a few months but it's useful when you need it. It's just a little time consuming to make. The Good Noob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetaSpectre Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 All rope is are just fibres, Hemp might be common enough during this time to use for rope as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Good Noob Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 For me was a big deception to find the berries didn't have any boost or effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
