Real Hardcore Survival? Turn off all respawns.

[Timken]

Just curious. If you were after the real hardcore survival experience, could you turn off all respawns? Meaning; Cut down all the trees? No more trees. Use all the gasoline on the island? No more gas. All ammunition looted/expended? No more ammo. Keep air drops coming with some gas, some ammo, some repair kits, etc. but cut off ALL automatic respawns. Thoughts?

i like it. Remove all high tech loot and military stuff and start play a real survival game.

it should be every server owners choise to mod/edit that way

Why remove all the high tech and military loot? Without constant respawns, they'll be limited anyway. With ammo respawn turned off, you'll have to be more careful with your shots because you will run out. No more screwdrivers? Be more picky (haha, get it?) with what you decide to break into. Run out of gunpowder? No more mines, no more crafted ammo (after a time). Gradually (loot drops notwithstanding) the tech level will fall by attrition. Soon it will all be katanas, bows, and crossbows.

Or you just lower spawn rates drasticly so you actually have to search a lot to find stuff. When you're calling vanilla loot servers high loot servers... then you're playing SCUM!

I'm not just talking about lootable items. I'm talking trees, bushes, rocks, mushrooms, ramsons, etc. Everything. All the trees gone? They're gone for 20 years. You need 500 logs to build that massive base? Get ready to haul sector wide. A vanilla loot server with NO respawn on things.

How about throwing the last man standing permadeath mode on top where everyone who dies needs to leave.

Could be an interesting event format.

Why not setting up a volume amount for air, when finished all die!

Scum Island will look like GB after the age of sailXD

Hello, you can adjust spawn rate of items in the server settings if you would like to, you can make your loot more rare and hard to find and you can also increase damage that puppets deals ammount of puppets and few more things.

nerf amount of military gear.
Its broken. i can play half day and have full military gear.

Prob 2 is that i have noticed that sveral serves have big clans, and its fine, but you should have the option to play on a non squad server or maximum 2-3 ppl squad.

prob 3 its very easy to get food.

I tought it was a survival game with pvp element

I thought you copy and pasted my thread for a moment.

And forget all this nonsense. I mean sure, any private server could enact a "Countdown to Armageddon, ALL SUPPLIES/RESOURCES FINITE.

And advertise a biggeer and bigger conflict as the server gets close to its restart date. Until on that date, almost everyone is dead and the last 30 or so people are constantly in a shooting war for unlooted cabinets.

But none of this matters or is relevant until players are subject to permadeath and when not even being famous enough means you can be resurrected after a bullet to the head still knowing everything you ever knew.

OH DEVS, I HAD ANOTHER IDEA.

What if you reset ONE stat for every ONE death. And have that stat be chosen at random from all stats with above minimum number X. ? (or perhaps the last skill actively 'checked' by rngesus on your character.

That way the crybabies who know nothing of true satisfaction aren't too overwhelmed and pearl clutchy but at the same time death becomes an event to be avoided at all costs.

A total reset on death means the progression system is meaningless and everyone simply moves to a "best-build-for-task" style of play, where they set up their initial character with a preferred build knowing it won't progress much. At this point death is again meaningless and the game has turned into a shooter.
