A Bunch of ideas

[Rancid]

1. Ability to move from the backseat to the front seat of a car with out having to exit the vehicle.
2. Making your own jerky by cooking cooked meat for 3 hours. Jerky would demolish your thirst meter but would take a while to spoil. It would also be a lot lighter than cooked meat because it would be dehydrated. 
3. Cartography perk, map  a larger radius and use less charcoal.
4. Salt bin. A salt bin could be a container that can be used to preserve meats.
5. Kill streaks. for example if you kill 5 wolfs you get a predator missile that you call in with a long pointy sick with some rocks tied to it.

All good ideas.  I definitely want to be able to call in air strikes.

Let's not discount the feasibility of a good, solid off-shore naval bombardment ;-)

What exactly is the last one? An air strike on wolves?

I'm waiting on the "nuke them from orbit" option.

That might help with the Coastal Townsite.

Craftable flamethrower. That's what I want. Imagine how satisfying that'd be.

 

Edit: Ideas 1 and 3 from the original post are good ones, from my point of view. I'm not so keen on meat preservation as a mechanic, though, because food scarcity is the only thing that makes the game hard - if renewable food lasts for too long, then the 'survival' part of the game loses all challenge. (Because if you have a large food stockpile, there is no practical reason to go outside at all.)

That's going to take an awful lot of fishing to fuel...

There you go: it's a perfectly balanced addition to the game.

It depends. Jerky would be a nice addition if food was scarcer to compensate. 

I.e. easier to prevent spoilage but harder to find initially.

Food is really really plentiful once you get over that initial hump. I think to make this something viable would require a serious crash of the wildlife population over the medium term... so you'd have to preserve food to be able to be able to live in a world where you might see an animal to hunt once a week or so.
