Suggestion for a Nomads Life

[-=[Narsis]=-]

Hello,
Sorry for my english, i don't speak it very well.
I like this game a lot but for me, the thing who missing in, It's a tent. I playing Kenshi like a nomads squad and i roam the map, a great part of time.
But i can't sleep in the wasteland, or install a temporary camp. (juste tents with travel bed, and fire)
I have no idea if a thing like that, was possible. But it's just a suggestion ^^

This is actually a pretty awesome idea. Like some sort of collapseable tent thing that could fit in your inventory or backpack, and a bedroll too. They'd have to not mark the area you choose to set up at to be "Your Outpost", though, since it is a nomadic life concept.

great idea, there has been some discussion on tents and stuff in this thread http://www.lofigames.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=8056

hmmmm, making it possible to sleep anywhere? it makes sense but wouldnt that destroy the purpose of poor Mr.Floppy? they would have to at least half the stat regain on the bedroll as opposed to actual beds. That would also make sense since beds are more comfortable than the floor

Could always make them super expensive instead of halfing the stat regain. Make them a luxury item.

nooo, thats not realistic. In reality beds cost much more than a sleeping bag/bedroll lol. And the issue isnt what it costs, the issue is that ur effectively replacing Mr. Floppy or even the need for a base. You would just be able to run around all over the map never having need to go to town or build a base. That is not what the devs have in mind with this game.

I see them as something you get before you have beds. It may even be something your character comes with, like those starting medkits.

Thanks Deewad for the link of the thread !
I'm ok with the lowest regain on a bedroll, with a timer for the instalation of a temporary camp, i think that will be balanced.
The player can choose behind city, outpost and nomads life for his squads. It's just for diversity.
And Nomads way of life was more dangerous than the others.
And more, Mr floppy was just a temporary npc. in a game, with my nomads team, i buy rapidly 1 house for 1200cats in every town. Or I build "caravansérai" camp on my roaming territory.
Mr floppy don't see me in my endless travel ^^

In the future, you'll be able to salvage building materials from deconstructing buildings. Additionally, there's been talk of additional types of building materials. I could easily see a "tent" being added to the list of structures that you could build and take down at your leasure. It should probably not have much if any loss, unless the tent has been damaged from weather or other sources. (yes, building damage/maintanence is coming).

Bedroll would be interesting to have as a deployable item, but the system for deployable interactable items other than dropping items on the ground I don't believe is in the game. No idea what that would require, but it would certainly open up the possibility for a whole slew of ideas and functionality.. (deployable turrets anyone?)

if they add in animals that can carry your stuff it will add much to your nomads life.

Already being worked on. You see those animals running around with traders? Players will be able to have those too.

they said you can hatch animals as party members, is it limited to pack beasts or could we be all game of thrones with wolves and stuff

You'll be able to hatch any animal, and it acts as a pet instead of a party member (not controlled by player, a vote for this was made some time ago, and the outstanding support for non-controlled pets won.) This includes pack animals, beak things, wolves, and other future animals to come.. Including leviathans..

Not really. At Mr. Floppy (eventually) you have a sence of security compared to being out in the wild where anyone and anything could just jump on you while sleeping. And yeah just give it a penalty of compared to an actual bed.

[ArmorDonio]

i wished you could slave Mr. Floppy.

They could boost Mr Floppy's base to be better then player build beds.
IE.
bedroll 0.5 regen
Tent 0.25 regen
Tent + bedroll 0.75 regen
Player build bed 1 regen
Mr, Floppy beds 1.25 regen

There's no logical reason that mr.floppy's beds should be better than player created ones. Mr. Floppy is only meant to be a temporary supplier until you make your own outpost. Not to be better than your own.
