13thGeneral Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) So, I was thinking; it would be nice to be able to build some kind of bed or cot - even just a makeshift matress on the floor would suffice - for sleeping when there is no other means present. We already have tents, which is noce, but they're kind of odd to have for sleeping indoors. I couldn't find this suggested anywhere {though the search function results always leaves much to be desired} and figured it was high time I made a suggestion topic. The reasoning seems self explanitory, and the purpose is justified. For example, the Large Warehouse is a popular place to build a safehouse, but it has no bed. Many just set up a tent on the roof, but that's just not my style. Why not be able to make a bed? It'd work much the same as building tables and chairs, etc. You can construct a really shoddy frame at first, and then a really nice one at advanced carpentry skill levels. For a standard bed, all you would need are;PlanksNailsHammerPillowSheetPossibly also:Rags, Pillows, or Newspaper (for mattress stuffing)Sheet Rope, or Rope (to hold up the mattress)For a crate bed (on the floor) you would need;PlanksNailsHammerPillowSheetPossibly also:Rags, Pillows, Newspaper, or Sand Bags (for mattress stuffing)For a folding hammock you would need;PlanksNailsHammerPillowSheetSheet Rope, or RopeTent PegsFor a suspended hammock you would need;Sheet Rope, or RopePillowSheetFor a suspended Tent Hammock you would need;Tent KitSheet Rope, or RopePlanks or Sturdy SticksPillowSheetFor a Cot (folding) you would need;Planks or Sturdy SticksNailsHammerDoor HingesSheet Rope (to make canvas)PillowSheetFor a Tented Cot (folding) you would need;Planks or Sturdy SticksNailsHammerDoor HingesTent KitPillowSheetAlternatively, the current in-game Cots could also be an item you can find and take with you.

PhantomWarlock Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 I've heard this mentioned before, but I don't remember where. Anyways, they plan to add more things to craft, like lamps. So I'm sure that means beds. (Or does it?) Seriously though, I think they'll add beds to the crafting list.

Beat me to the post The idea does sound simple enough that they'll implement it soon, but not a main priority.
Fj45 Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 OI! Your alllll wrong, that's my job. Would be funny if basic level beds had a chance of collapsing while you slept. Would be much higher if you were overweight. Serrate Bloodrage and dnk3912 2

Imagine the scenario; Survived: 2 Months, 4 Days, 6 HoursZombies Killed: 560 After a long day of building walls, farming, and fighting of hordes, you finally manage to go to sleep and... your cot collapses."You Have Died" dnk3912 1

Even more annoying than those dragons.
ApolloDiaspora Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Portable cot sounds awesome. Throw in some way of making large tents (walking around inside) using multiple sheets and poles, and we could suddenly recreate the 4077th...

The moment you mentioned walking around inside a tent, I thought of the TARDIS...and I don't know why.

Which also made me think about the fact that I always make sure my character has a towel with him.
13thGeneral Posted July 26, 2014 Author Posted July 26, 2014 I almost forgot I started this topic.I had another cool idea, one that expands on it a bit; Being able to combine a cot and tent to make this --> Or a tent, sheet rope/rope, and sturdy sticks to make this ---> But, of course, ultimately, being able to build a permabed in our hideout would be ideal.
