Brex Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 With the recent hurricane that devastated southeastern Texas and another massive storm about to hit Florida, I've noticed that many homeowners who haven't evacuated are boarding up their doors and windows using plywood boards. So I wonder: could that be used in Project Zomboid? I've brought this up before as a suggestion but now I feel it should be a general discussion. You can find plywood at pretty much any warehouse and hardware store, so it stands to reason that it could be available to use for boarding up doors and windows. Sure, it'd probably be weaker than planks or metal sheets, but it could be very useful to low level players that aren't very skilled in carpentry. In addition, I think there could be improvements to the "furniture as barricades" feature, plus the addition of "junk" that you can scavenge in order to make weak-but-easy-to-build walls and fences. Whether its stuff like tires, boxes, luggage, stacks of wood, bags of trash, wrecked vehicles, and other stuff to hastily construct a wall that you can use as a temporary line of defense. Finally, as I noted above, I think you should be able to overturn furniture and use it to fully block doors and windows. Currently you can't do that, you can only create a mini barrier around the window or door. You should be able to fully block openings to your safehouse using furniture. Thats my discussion. If the moderators deem this more of a suggestion thread, sorry that I posted in the wrong place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Mark Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 It would certainly give us loot to spawn at a construction site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinoz Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I like the idea, we need more item variety on PZ so I hope they add this kind of stuff once they're done with the animations and all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikelord Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 PlyWood would be better then boards to keep in heat But certainly Not as strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm6436 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 On the plus side, if they have insulation values done correctly... you could plywood the inside and board up the outside. Or use multiple layers of plywood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
