Useful furniture?
I was wondering if anyone had found useful furniture they could scavenge from buildings, things with a purpose besides pure decoration. The only one I have found so far is rifle racks allow you to store rifles on them.

EDIT; a quick list from all the comments.
Lamps and other things which provide light during an aurora
Rifle racks
wall mounted shelves
suitcases (the only containers one can bring to another location)

The only items I know of with functionality are the rifle rack and radios (the big ones.) Radios can play music if you turn them on during an Aurora.

Most lamps (not the black desk lamps in BRM) can be used to light rooms up a bit in Aurorae and glimmer fog.

Rifle racks and lamps are probably the most useful, especially in spaces that have no original light sources.
I would have liked to be able to also scavenge plastic boxes or other containers, as I am missing storage containers in some places (Camp Office is rather poor in containers). But at least these can be manufactured now.

Do the lamps light up the room correctly ? Or same as lamp you can find, because these ones barely show any light and they flicker.

From what I've seen, the lamps behave differently each aurora. I've found a lamp in "good condition" (not flickering), brought it home, the 1st aurora it worked fine, the 2nd it started flickering, the 3rd it was fine again. So it doesn't matter which ones you take.

And yeah, they light up the room, but just a bit. For example, in Trappers house, you can put one on the workbench and it'll light up the whole workbench plus a bit around it. Better than nothing I guess.

You can scavenge suitcases they have decent capacity 20 kg.

Not many of them on the island though, several can be found inside terminal in airport.

You can actually carry those? Sweet. You can occasionally find them in houses too.

Wall shelves can be found in many homes and can be taken to the base. This has been the most useful so far.

That is sweet, thanks for the tip; I have seen some of them around. I would rate these probably some of the most useful collectables, next to lamps. :steamthumbsup:
