Randomize the tool/weapon/loot locations

[AimsKey]

Sorry to bring up an idea already said before. But i wanted to bring it to the top of the pile again.

Its something that bugs me as i can get all weapons/tools in day 2-3 on normal mode by myself. Probably day 1-2 with coop, depending the players. If it was random, imagine the exploration of the caves you would have to do, to find out where it was.

Now obviously im not suggesting it has 1000 locations to spawn. Just a few, even if u learnt them. You still dont know which ones it will be at and will have to check them all. The Re-breather doesnt have to move as it kinda fits the location with all the water caves and the pistol is pretty spread out so maybe its ok to stay. But as an example, the katana doesnt have to stay with that guy down there just because it "fits the theme" and the rest dont really seem to have a "theme" of the area its found in anyway.

Even if players want it as an option on / off. Then so be it, but it would be nice to have that choice!

Oh god please yes pleeeease!

This would change the game soooo much and add so much replayability. I don't even care if it's optional, I just want it. It's the best thing that could possibly be added to the game.

PS. The katana guy could be placed anywhere.

Yes this is the number 1 priority on my list!

Rebreather should probably stay as is since it fits the cave?

The climbing axe can stay put as well but only if they fix the cave its in. As of now 90% of players use exploits to reach the climbing axe by going into the cave in the ground north which is supposed to be the exit only after you get the climbing axe.

You can safely fall down and go directly to it in just a couple of minutes. Make it so players who try to do this fall to their death 100%.

This would make the game so much better!

Personally I'm the same. I'm not too worried about story related items myself, I prefer the survival side of the game. Though some people may be more interested in making it take exploration to finish the story too.

The main things that I feel really need to be randomized IMO are the katana, the modern axe and pots. The things that provide a huge survivability advantage. As well as any future top tier weapons or items that hopefully get added.

The main thing is just to keep something, anything out there that you can work towards reaching. Which is why I hope they add in at least another 5 items worth searching for. Be it weapons, tools or even constructables with hard to find materials that will increases your survivability chances.

Be like the first time you played where you go "F**K YES! I found a such and such!! Now this and that task is going to be that much easier/faster to do!"

This is number 1 on my wish list.

Exactly, first thing i do is raid the sail boat, get the alchol always there, raid the cases and get a sea turtle shell there. Then from there goto the rebreather cave. Then i get the katana and all the loot in there. Then the climbing axe. Then go get the modern axe and the loot there, for chopping trees quicker for building easier. NOW i attempt to build and survive with all my loot.

Its just a routine 4 destinations which i (and many others) know the route like the back of my hand now. Its too easy to get them all. :)

I mean i can finish the entire game in 5 days if i wanted on my own on normal with all the items, tools and weapons. Maybe 3 days? if i didnt sleep and skipped down the sinkhole with just the rebreather and climbing axe, but thats dangerous if you can live that route. xD

Just needs something to elongate the time taken to finish the game and make it harder to survive, for those that mainly want the survival side of things.

Yea very true. Normally now if i start a new game ill wait a few days time before ever going out to get any loot and most of the time the only items i want are katana and modern axe.
