New Craftable Items

[PlayDiscGolf]

I think a bear trap would be great as a passive way of capturing both wolves and bears, without requiring a bow and arrow or the rifle. You could craft it from current items, scrap metal (2-3 pieces), line, and maybe a reclaimed piece of wood or even introduce new items such as a gear or similar mechanisms.

I would like to see bear traps, but they shouldn't be craftable. you should only be able to find them.

man !!
did you play RE4????

[Docterrok]

Yup! 

[alone sniper]

So , you remember that poor dog????
in a trap like this????

[Docterrok]

except, if you step on one, unlike re4, there is NO WAY IN HELL YOU'D ESCAPE IT!

let me give an example of what a bear trap does... If this is put in game, for the sake of not making it gory, you should be able to pry out, but in real life... It does this... Actually, never mind, the only gif I found was a liveleak of someone punching the pressure plate and cutting off his own hand... What was seen cannot be unseen... 

[Docterrok]

Well, bear traps mess thing up, but it would be awesome to use a bear trap for its intended purpose.

oh , you shouldn't see that. 
does it attach to something?
I don't want an angry bear chasing me with a foot trap on its foot!!!!!!!!!!

[Docterrok]

It's usually chained and pinned into the ground.

so angry bear can easily pull it off. 

after bear trapped
so should we finish a bear with one shot ?
or it will pass out?

[Docterrok]

Bear traps do a pretty damn good job at keeping the bear in place, except in this horrifying case...

I advise it on "locking door" topic for NPCs !!!

poor NPCs thief !!

I don't think people understand, a bear trap is ENORMOUSLY powerful, it will cut and smash through bones if a human sized foot stepped on it, it's so powerful in fact, I don't know how hinterland would add it without it being gory? Maybe the animal (or human) struggle to get out?

Don't make it gory, because if it was realistic, you'd be called Stumpy McGee if you stepped on one. Make escaping one a QuickTime event, like fighting a wolf, you need to use a prybar for it to be most effective, then if you escape, you sustain some SERIOUS afflictions, like shattered shinbone and heavy bleeding, you'll have to crawl, and tending a bear trap wound should be a multiple day process.

[Docterrok]

And if someone steps on one, they struggle, no blood, just them reaching at the trap.

[alone sniper]

actually i don't think it should survive. 

we don't have anything but bandage!!!!!!

[Docterrok]

Thus why you can only crawl, you can't walk while you sustain the injury, and a new affliction should be added where we must reapply bandages for multiple days.

bandage can't do anything. 
 
we have foot amputation. and bandage is useless. even if you crawl you will bleed out to death.
so , maybe i shouldn't be so realistic. or maybe you are right.

I feel the craftable items are limited e.g. I would like to make a whole line of bear clothing, mittens, pants, jacket, etc. Same goes with the other hides, you should be able to use all of those animals for a variety of different items/accessories/articles of clothing, rather than the one or two allotted.

Could you imagine playing this game with one foot?

no. 
that's the reason that i think we will be dead after stepping on a trap.

Makeshift prosthetic leg? As a Physical Therapist, this would be quite interestingto see play out in a survival game... especially when being hunted by bear, wolves and the like!
