Locations with unique abilities

[squishward_tennisballs]

The idea is to make many main locations such as McCoy Logging, Knox Bank, etc. have their own abilities specific to that location. At the moment there isn't much of a difference between most locations, so this would improve that. I'll explain more below:

 

McCoy Logging - Has a sawmill which can be powered by a generator and can turn logs into planks. It would be able to turn many logs at a time into planks instantly and without a saw, but it would produce a lot of noise. There would also be carpentry workbenches that can allow the player to craft carpentry-related items, and it would have a lower carpentry skill requirement.

 

Knox Bank - Would have CCTV cameras (when they're added) and would have high security measures to protect against zombies, including bulletproof glass (takes much longer for zombies to break) and a vault which would have an almost indestructible vault door. There may also be jewelry and other items of value that would be popular with NPCs (when they're added).

 

Railyard - Has many train components that can be useful and are not found anywhere else.

 

Elementary School/Adult Educational Center - Has textbooks that are difficult to find anywhere else.

 

EDIT: Police Stations would have bulletproof glass and built-in radio systems. (Thanks to Blake81)

I fully support this idea, and also have another idea for it.

 

- Police Stations

 

Better Radio Systems, allowing for better radio reception as well as bulletproof glass windows.

Seems like a good idea.

This is a very good suggestion.. Would give exciting reasons to try out different areas

I just played this Zomboid game and i really like this survival horror because of its complexness and its retroish graphic. I think these specialized locations will add to the immersion to the game a lot
