Fireplaces and sleeping bags and more camp related stuff

[123Imirish]

There should be fireplaces and in the winter coldness should get really bad even inside your house and you have to collect wood for a fireplace to keep you warm. Also you would need to sleep in that room SLEEPING BAGS! Also other camping related stuff and Camping supply stores and A pickaxe would be cool. Also portable gas/oil stoves and MREs I'll edit and add more later but I don't have time.

Right, to start I'm guessing you want something of a more indoorsy, safer way to survive the apocalypse.

 

That being said, there are craftable campfire kits in the game (I have no idea if they'll play nice indoors or if the house will burst into flames), you can also create a tent, and with a filled sandbag place it indoors. (I believe you spill out the sandbag inside, then you can place the tent on that tile that is now sand/dirt). The Campfire, whether indoors or out acts as a sort of stove; you can cook on it, but it requires fuel. (Actually you depend on it to cook late game once the power shuts out.) I like the idea of an indoor fireplace (not as unpredictable as the campfire), something actually built into the house that provides light and warmth once the power is out. Sleeping bags would be cool, but the tent kind of covers that. A campfire and tent kind of cover camping as it is for now. What use function would the pickaxe serve? As a weapon? A utility? Both? MREs and more reliable portable cooking surfaces would be an interesting update.

 

You have some good ideas here, just be sure you know what's ingame already and flesh out your new ideas some more.

These things have been talked about before, but not too awful much. But yeah, I'd like to be able to craft sleeping mats from pillows and sheets. I'd also like to be able to craft wood burning stoves made from fire safe materials like stone or metal that you can place indoors. That way you have a source of warmth AND cooking when the power fails.

1.

How I would like to survive a Z.A (in game and in the unlikely event of real life is)  is mainly camping in the woods or mountains (I have experience in outdoor survival) and staying overnight in country houses and cabins, I would never really like to be permanently settled anywhere, I'm more of the guy who would always be on the move, 

2.

For the sleeping bag thing, I would better like them than tents because, I don't know, indoors, sleeping bags just seem better. Plus they could also act for other purposes.

3.A pickaxe would be a cool weapon,also they could be used to split logs I guess, and to dig, when I was in secondary school (not to long ago) they had a pickaxe in the storage shed that students over the age of 15-16 would use to keep the school grounds level and tidy (under the supervision of teachers) Don't know if it would be legal to have a pickaxe in a school in the US though

1.

Nomadic. Different than most people barricading themselves up in a house. Could work.

2.

I agree that sleeping bags would be better than tents indoors, but I'm not sure if the devs are going to make sleeping bags as tents serve sort of the same purpose, just look different.

3.

I think that a pickaxe would make a pretty sweet weapon, and could used for some sort of excavation / terraforming (we'll have to wait until 3D terrain for that I'd think). And yeah, I don't think a pickaxe in any school in the US for student use would be legal (maybe somewhere really loose on the rules, but nowhere that I've seen personally).
