Base Jumping Chute

[Spacepiggio]

I would like to have a base jumping chute for times when you got a horde chasing you & you come to a cliff. Pretty easy with resourses we have in game just cloth & fiber, maybe leather or matal strips, Geronimo man.

Sure. And when You gently land slowly on the ground...they already plunged down, overtook You and look up awaiting your arrival :9 Muahahaha

But i would like one too :)

I wouldn't want to see this. It would make escaping zombies trivial when raiding tall buildings.

This would literally remove there threat if you could just rush a house and parachute from the top without as much as a scratch.

Now if the recipe book for making one was ultra rare than I wouldn't mind seeing a parachute as an extra gameplay mechanic. I just don't want it to be something that everyone could use from level 1.

Could be another form of travel from one biome to another. Houses would be too low to jump it would half to be a condo or cliff.

I think something like a hang glider would fit this criteria a bit better, Far Cry 4 style!

Ever played cube world? All I ever did in that game was hang glide everywhere xD

I think a basic chute would be an easier craftable item although we do have pipe so maybe a chute for an early craft & a hang glider for a higher level craft.

Sang-Froid has zip-lines from built towers. I could see how you could make this part of a tower defense system. I agree, however, that this is going to be really hard on the zombie AI.

Zip-lines would be basically one way, one use however, so there is some possibility of balance. The towers could be attacked also, and you'd need special towers to allow it (gameplay reasons).

I don't think we can afford to allow hang-gliders. Parachutes is interesting, but it would be slow, you would have limited control, you would need to know the wind direction and have a wind system (we don't), you'd have a risk of failure/death, and a good risk of sprained and broken leg. There would have to be some time down for disentanglement, recovery from disorientation , getting to a standing position after tumbling, etc.

That's potentially a lot of work, for just a semi-cheap getaway plan via parachute. It would be cool, but it would usually result in failure or more hurt and simply running away.

Might be simpler to use fire-poles, ladders, and ropes.

Well, the supply drop arrives by chute. so much for the crafting phase.

I fogot about that, that would work.

I often spend so much time in hpospital, floor by floor making noise. It would be great to jump off the roof to my escape rather then getting out via the ground floor. Great idea.

I have yet to die from a jump off a building. The worst I have received is a broken leg. Maybe Im just lucky. Heck, I just into some iron tipped log spikes and lived.

I never tried just jumping off the roof. common sense says it would be death so I avoid it. Iwill try though now you mention it.

tha t would be awesome but so its not so op have to where u must be at least lvl 15/20 and have Q&E buttons for control over your risers, when landing if Q&E are not pressed at same time at the right time then results in broken leg and loss of health. I feel its an easy way not to be so op but still gives you that option :)

Also make it where you need more then 3 stories to jump off of or chute won't work, cause in reality theirs no way to use a chute from a 2/3 story building. You would plummit to the ground before chute would even try to open lol

You can drop a hay bale in the ground floor then jump on it from whenever height you want.
For example, in the hospital, drop one in a corner and then jump from the top floor. No damage that way.
