Additional Farming mechanics (Suggestion) |
|

With the addition of GMO crops and their need for fertilizer, |
|
and the need to hunt for "human turds", I suggest an alternative |
|
method of making fertilizer. |
|
Using a custom trash can model, such as a green-waste bin, and a |
|
forge UI, to add multiple ingredients such as: bones, rotten |
|
meat, plant fibers, human turds, wood, etc. and a "fuel source" |
|
(which would be any of the Nitrogen rich ingredients previously |
|
listed) players could make "fertilizer" using one of several |
|
different recipes based upon the contents of their Compost Bin. |
|
In addition, human turds could be added to the zombie loot |
|
table, as there is a probability that some of the recently |
|
turned zombies could have feces in their pants. |
|

You don't need to "hunt" for human turds; with the Home |
|
Improvement progression you can make toilets which then upgrade |
|
to the loot-able toilets. |
|
If a player places a loot container in-game it will be without |
|
loot and will not re-spawn loot. |
|
This is why the crates you buy are the ones you must break open |
|
(which is downgrading the block to the loot container). |
|
The toilets work as a place block you then upgrade to a loot |
|
container which will then respawn loot and in this case, it will |
|
be human turds. |
|
The freezer works the same; I changed the fridge bottom to not |
|
be a loot container since up (or down)grading a loot container |
|
to another loot container creates a block that won't respawn |
|
loot; by making the fridge bottom a non-loot container you can |
|
upgrade it to a freezer which is a loot container and have it |
|
re-spawn ice. |
|
I thought of it as ...in an apocalyptic sort of stone age we |
|
would be in...hygiene and human waste would be a HUGE |
|
deal...latrines, clean water...and growing crops would be at a |
|
premium as game would be scarce at least for a while before |
|
wildlife started taking over (rabbits and deer would be |
|
everywhere , bears would still be scarce, wolves may come in and |
|
chase off deer, wild dogs, coydogs...etc.) |
|
So in the absence of a location away from a base where we |
|
deposit waste (say an outhouse) I gave us toilets that we could |
|
hook up (the upgrade using pipe) and become working toilets. |
|
Now if they function the same as the crates (where you must be |
|
at least 10 blocks away from the container for the 7 day |
|
cycle--if that still is necessary), then what would happen is |
|
players would create outhouses which were away from their main |
|
bases where they would void themselves. |
|
Anyway, I created options for people and rotten meat is on the |
|
table for something else in the works; my time has been occupied |
|
on fixing corrupt regions/player files and dealing with |
|
interpersonal relationships. Remaining time was spent working on |
|
the new seed (Braizd is working on custom prefabs and the like) |
|
and now I am in a Master's program at the university so...yeah. |
