ZombieHunter Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 One thing I feel the game is really missing is "Creative" Engineering that many people would do in these kinds of situations. Equipment: How Equipment Flashlight would work: Two new hotkeys added Equipment Slot 1 \ Equipment Slot 2 \ Equipment Slot 3 For gamepad this could be done using a Gear Wheel - so it's only a single button. Strapping a Flashlight on the Barrel of a Gun. This would probably be the most common modification done. People would tell you it would alter the weight of the barrel and reduce accuracy but - if you can't see 2 feet in front of you in the pitch black. It's better to have low accuracy than 0 accuracy. Recipe: Duct Tape + Small Flashlight + Gun Small Beam of Light from gun Lowers accuracy 15% Battery amount detected by right clicking on the gun in your inventory and checking charge Backpack Shoulder Light. Strapping a flashlight to the backpack shoulder harness is not a great idea. The beam itself is too small unless it's a heavy flashlight, then you have an issue with balance if its too big. So some creative engineering creating a custom metal frame and taking out the large bulb from a big flashlight and creating a shoulder lamp. Recipe: Large Flashlight ( Yellow LED ) + Copper Wire + Metal Frame ( made with Metal Sheet + Acetelene Torch ) + Light switch + backpack Large forward cone of light A decrease in the total backpack carry weight by 2.5 lbs Battery power checked by right clicking on the backpack in your inventory Decrease Running speed by 5% grammarsalad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grammarsalad Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Great ideas. Another one: Helmet/Hat light Recipe: hat or helmet + duct tape + small flashlight. Small beam of light where you look. Has a chance to fall off your head when you run. ZombieHunter and Exercist 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neonwarrior Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 This is going to be something the devs will add. I think it's pretty much guaranteed that we will get a ton of new crafting recipes using common-sense materials and methods. Just have to wait a few more years.

There is actually a Mining Helmet in the beta now, I found one in a hardware store. Its icon has a lamp on it but the model does not, and it does not function as a light source unfortunately.

I feel like this would help players feel like they are doing everything in their power to survive by being creative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
