JM_Forest_64 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 As an avid hiker, I know that just walking through the forest without proper clothing will get you scratched and covered in poison ivy/oak. Now, I've never had to run for my life through a forest, but I would imagine that that would increase the chances of scratches significantly. My suggestion, to help increase the medical portion of Zomboid, is that running through/into trees with an active panic moodle carries with it a chance for minor scratches. The more severe the panic, the higher the scratch chance. Nothing life threatening, just pain causing. It's just an idea, just something to add another realistic little wrinkle to a great game.

JM_Forest_64 Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 I think rashes would be an excellent addition to the medical game. Poison Ivy is no joke, especially without medical services to help. Nasty skin infections, here we come! grammarsalad and DramaSetter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trombonaught Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Plus 1000000 to this post. Foraging could be tied into this. The lower your foraging (or similar skill), the more likely you are to receive a rash (and scratches?) in long grass or maybe foraging zones (typically wilderness areas).

It makes players have to choose: possibly overheat but have the option of retreating through trees without pain, or stay cool but be forced to stay on open roads and yards. Well, maybe not "forced," but have consequences for running through an overgrown forest in just boxers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not certain though as I am immune to poison ivy myself. I am not sure that this makes sense as the cuts the player gets that require medical are bad enough that they die if left untreated, where as the cuts you get running through the woods hurt but can usually be left untreated in my experience unless there is a particularly mean plant like a Japanese blood tree. thats true actually, although id imagine if youre wounded like you have a deep gash on ur arm and u run thru the woods nude with that wound it could cut straight open again and bleed all over the place and just imagine telling someone you died to a cedar branch in your last playthrough, the possibilities are endless Edited July 5, 2017 by xXxFANCYCAPYBARA36xXx grammarsalad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
