boxes of ammo and nails

[IceSykle]

the game is great but here is an idea when you pick up a box of ammo it should be a box of ammo not one bullet per box and same for nails a box of nails should be a box of nails and when you chop down trees we should have a storage bin for them but just saying that it would be nice and as for the decay timmer on food and drinks they decay too fast i mean really the apple decays in one day and food you put in a fridge should last longer then 10 minuts in rl i mean seriously it is common sense a bit just saying still a great game but yea and as for gas shoud not have to refill my truck or suv every 5 mins in rl after driving for 5 mins my tank should not almost be empty just some ideas and another one maybe let us raise dogs and such for protection would be nice

First I would like to buy this man Capital letters, commas and periods. So do you think in the real world you would find full boxes of everything while looting random houses? Yes maybe if you are looting a gun or hardware store. If you want a storage bin for your wood just make one or steal one of the dozens that are thru out the map. Not sure what your talking about with the gas tank going empty. I drive one of the red trucks and it hardly uses any.

well then maybe he should change it from a box to a bullet cause a box useally has more then one round not sure where you live but a box has more then one when it comes to bullets as for storage i am meaning like for the big logs you get from choping trees so you dont have to leave them lying around think before you speak on that cause there is no storage for those bords yes logs no and as for my spelling as in capital letters and commas and periods if i want a grammer lecture i would hire and english teacher not you and as for gas i mean put a gas gage in the truck so we know how much we have liters is not helpful that is what i am saying and such but as for ammo yea box of ammo means 30 rounds from what i counted in a box of ammo that i bought for my 38 so just sayin and thank you no need to be a ♥♥♥♥ on grammer

[odysseus60]

Say that a gun store sells me a box of ammo. The full box has 50 bullets. I go out and shoot 49 bullets and decide its time for lunch. I put the box with one bullet in a drawer. The next day the world goes to ♥♥♥♥ when this Mist shows up and I die. Some time later a random kid comes along and finds the box. Before he found it he had no bullets and now he has one bullet. Happy ending because he can now use this bullet to end his miserable life . P.S. His life was miserable because Bullets and Nails in boxes don't make sense to him.

All parts of trees that are cut down will go in a locker. That includes the logs. As for the gas guage there is a gas pump symbol on the lower left of your screen that shows how much gas you have .Think before you tell me to think before I speak. I would get my facts straight before I run my mouth off. I wonder if you are even playing the same game.

[IceSykle]

look i am thinking logicaly not hypothetically so just stop with the secnarios i can see your point but i also have a point so just let it go at the fact i was giving some feed back on what i seen the in the game that could be changed or upgraded in a patch because you think in hypothetical scenarios and i am not right now so yea

[KimRaven]

wow I am right behind you Nevarwind, there was No need for the way odysseus60 was so Sarcastic about your Grammar.And I agree with you about the Ammo, you take on 3/4 infected use up about 6/8 bullets depending how good you are, to find 1 bullet that 1 of the infected has dropped. But saying all that we all have Freedom of speech, the power or right to express one's opinions without the sarcasm.

[odysseus60]

It was not sarcasm about his grammar. It was criticism. Not my fault that his parents failed to tell him if you choose to have a voice in any forum and write like he writes you are going to have a bad time. I am sure there are many out there that would have been very harsh towards him. I made a harmless attempt to voice my opinion. On top of that what he wrote was inaccurate or untrue.If you 2 are so innocent of all crimes then you wont badger me about my opinions of the matter. As you stated FREE SPEECH.

[Deimonides]

I think the "boxes" of nails or ammo are iconic, like carrying 10 tree logs in your backpack :)

[IceSykle]

I know how to properly type and use grammar. But people like you who like to pick at the littlest things, tend to annoy me. I mean really telling someone how to use grammar and such is just being a ♥♥♥♥. So the next time you want to assume something about someone please go some place else. I was not saying your opinion didn't matter or have a point to it. I was saying in logical terms that a box of ammo should have more then one round, and a box of nails should have more then one nail. So don't judge or assume anything about anyone until you really know them.

[odysseus60]

Go into any mans workshop and tell me if all of his nail boxes are completely full. The game is like real life. Also... you seem to be really annoyed by the whole grammar thing. That is your issue not mine. I pointed out it is hard to read when written like you did. I did not pick on a little thing ,its a big thing that is art of the rest of the world. I simply made one comment and your crying to the world like your being bullied? I didnt call you names or become agressive , that was all you .
Dont like it dont post on an open forum. I am done here to save others from this little spat we seem to be having.

[IceSykle]

Well i have cause i do and my nail boxes are full and even if they are not they still have half to full box and as for this spat you started and i am not crying just pointing out a ♥♥♥♥ is a ♥♥♥♥ and you are a ♥♥♥♥ so that is life you point out peoples flaws i don't and you seem to enjoy that more power to you just next time use some common sense and some common courtesy and be polite and not point out peoples flaws might help you from being a ♥♥♥♥

Truth be told, it's much easier to read what you write if you use punctuation and a bit of formatting (i.e. paragraphs and spacing).

Not all of the boxes of ammo contain one round; it varies. Moreover, last time I played (several months ago), individual cartridges had their own model, although more than one cartridge would use the ammo box model.

The food decay does need to be tweaked, I agree. However, if you are relying on dried bear meat for food or hunting chickens daily, you really won't have too much of an issue with food spoilage.

I also wouldn't use the realism argument as there are far greater flaws than just the rate at which food spoils or the lack of dogs.

There are a lot of realism features that the game is lacking. You shouldn't be able to reload modern cartridges with homemade black powder and no primers and have them cycle an autoloading pistol (much less a fully automatic M4) perfectly. The gold ores in the mine (which are currently pointless) should be replaced with lead ores for making projectiles, as gold would be as useful as a screen door on a submarine after a worldwide zombie apocalypse.

We also shouldn't be able to make matches from just branches and charcoal over an abnormally long 5-hour period. If anything, we should be relying on flint and steel firestarters when the matches run out. And it shouldn't take 1 hour to butcher a single chicken, or 2 hours to harvest edible meat and guts from a single brown bear, unless the hunter is using a rusty spork and has no knowledge of animal anatomy.

As for dogs, I think they'd make an interesting addition to the game as a new enemy type and a potential food source. Most dogs left in such a world wouldn't be the types you'd ever want to keep as a pet. Trying to tame one of them would be about as wise as trying to tame an adult wolf in the real world. Now, if the player's character started out with a dog which had accompanied him over the last few years, that would make more sense...

[IceSykle]

I was thinking more like puppies. If you find them in the wild you can tame them even if they are a bit feral you can. I do see your point at people understanding if i use proper skills, it is just times i get in a hurry and i don'e always see it. It is part of my problems but, i do think some homemade guns would be nice and spears, or makeshift weapons. Also i think respawning resources would be kool as welll.

The food in my fridges was lasting plenty long, I never had a problem running out of food. And canned food lasted a long while too. Apples and potatoes and such were probably too short though.
