ArkadyS Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I spend most games with a ton of rotten food sitting around in my fridge. And while I know I can use it in cooking when I reach level 4 at that skill, that's still quite some time where it's not really doing anything. So I was trying to think of some other way it could be used, and came up with zombie bait. Crafting would require some kind of rotten food, a bag (shopping, tote, garbage,) and something to tie the bag shut (twine, sheet rope, wire, etc.) After crafting, the player may use it on a patch of ground, consuming it in the process. After use, zombies would be drawn to that spot for a temporary period of time, exactly like a house alarm. The main use for this in game would be for drawing groups away from places (need to get them clear from your safehouse,) or draw them to you (in case you happened to find a bunch of axes and want to spend the day decapitating everything that comes by.) misterdark999 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrZombifiedGamer Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I like it, adds a bit more purpose to rotten food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerdude8 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Rotten Meat should be the Only Rotten Food usable for Zombait(Whilst Rotten Veggies and other none meat should be Compostable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footmuffin Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Love the idea! When you say "like a house alarm," you don't mean like it draws all of them from a block or two, right? Maybe only like a few meters or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridickulo Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Depends a lot on the zombie folklore. In some cases Zeds completely ignore animals and in others they want to eat them. What is the case in PZ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viceroy Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 RJ posted (on twitter I think) that traps containing animals (Mice or Rats) do attract zombies, so I'd say yeah in PZ zombies go after animals too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah that is true, they 'hunt' alarms after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronCoffins Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 the dead dident rise to raid are pantrys for pork & beans and bad chicken. However the rotten food should at least get your sick after awhile if not removed within a set time, same for the dead?ish? Zombie corpses. Welcome by the way!
