Dead bodies should not be "containers"

[christianberger]

Hi,

in my opinion dead and "empty" bodies should not be handled as "containers" (with 10kg storage limit ). That's a little strange ...

Cheers

Yeah, it is... But if we can't use the corpses, there should be more other containers outside (backpacks etc).

[Trandor]

Or there should be the option to build "snow containers", that have decent degrading stats such as dead bodies. The only reason we use dead bodies as storage now, is since they have the lowest degradation values.

I's fully support Trandors "snow containers".

The thing with storing in corpses is that even if it sounds stupid, bur it already works really well. I got already got used to several of my depots. Like "Max", "Carl", "Backpack" etc. It's easy to give them names, find them again etc. They even have a limited storage capacity etc, so I must think a lot to organize them.

I would of course not mind though if they were replaced with a red pennant or something, where I built my snow depot. So that the silly fact goes sway that I have stashed all my gear into dead guys ..

I agree that I'd rather use something other than corpses for storage. The ability to create some sort of outside storage unit would be great, but like @Burning Bridges said, they need to be visible enough you can find them back.

[Trandor]

True, but if it was something like a small igloo, it wouldn't be hard to spot. Especially since you'd probably build it pretty close to your base anyway.

A small igloo, I like it!

I would indeed be making it (or them if I need more space) pretty close to my base. But many people also make stashes all around the map as a fall-back for when they are exploring/ hunting etc and need something quick. So if someone for some reason decides to make a snow container in the middle of the deadfall area or clearcut, they need to be visible enough to find them again. A small igloo would be hard to miss in an open field, so yeah that would work.

Tbh I don't care what it looks like, a heap in the snow, a small pennant like polar explorers use for their depots.

And it is no problem to mark things. I usually drop a used up flare or empty fuel can where I have a depot.

[elloco999]

You have an empty jerry can? I'm at 100 days and am still using my first jerry can (found 3 or 4). Or did you mean the small fuel bottle?

[Burning Bridges]

The small one, but I also have empty jerry cans.

The content is random and sometimes they only hold 1 liter or less
