Resources

[Cbarre23]

The many cars lying around the maps seem like untapped potential to me. Everything from The seats to car batteries etc could be harvested as resources. Seat upholstery could be salvaged for cloth, car battery to recharge flashlight batteries etc. Just seems like a waste to have these all over the maps and passing these potential resources by.

True, currently, they don't have much use but I know there have been multiple references to using them "...in future content..."

I'd like to drain some fuel from the tank, dip a rag into it then stuff the rag into the fuel inlet. By various means I wanna be able to light that rag sometime before a wolf/bear/moose walks past. Car-boom!!

Likewise I wanna put a hole in a gas tank at the right moment. A gas tank that happens to have a fire burning next to it. Blowing up unwanted buildings could also yield some resources.

Hehe.

I wonder if cars will explode though if this was done to them? I remember mythbusters testing that once and it resulted in more of a slow burn than an actual explosion.

Still, that could give you a nice fire to warm up to.

Never let realism get in the way of a game mechanic.

Definitely the most important rule of game development!
