Browsing around the rust art trello page,and i noticed some new concept art for new armor and clothing.Honestly im liking the tire armor idea,however im figuring out how will you be able to obtain tires in the game.Things are looking cool so far and im liking the new ideas they're putting out. What do you guys think? [IMG]https://trello-attachments.s3.amazonaws.com/52dd0fb645357d6f614646d1/537e9344dd56653a1457a95d/1976x1636/034f6800669cac4acb17f85303940f35/tires_high_wip_01.jpg[/IMG]
I really like this looks cool
I luv it!
That codpiece gave me a good laugh.
The heart it's near the left side of the body. Just saying...
Looks cool, but where in the hell are we getting tires from? there aren't any vehicles in the rust world, or are there........
[QUOTE=Sgt. Lumpy;44886650]Looks cool, but where in the hell are we getting tires from? there aren't any vehicles in the rust world, or are there........[/QUOTE] Even if the vehicles are long gone, their tires would be around for hundreds of years.
I do like this idea but feel it's not needed, the 4 levels of 'armour' skin, cloth, leather and kevlar are IMO about spot on. If any addition is needed then I would say chain mail or plate metal armour is needed as craftable, and kevlar as rare military grade find i.e not craft able.
It's a lot more believable from a crafting standpoint than making cloth, leather, and kevlar, though. Unless you really know what you're doing, you can't make leather (or very much that is useful), or even weave decent cloth. But anyone can punch a few holes in some old radials, chop 'em in half, and ta-dah! spaulders. It would be kind of interesting if this sort of armor would be what we'd make on our own, but we could still find whole and partial "off the rack" style clothing.
WTF
I really like the concept. Making improvised armor is awesome and fits the game. Nice work mate :)
I'm happy with this as long as you can still find/eventually craft proper clothes.

Just make the pile of tires you see at the hanger and near towns from static props to resource nodes, then you can get tires for use in crafting.

I dunno why some people don't want m4s and Kevlar to be craftable...I mean this is post apocalypse so it makes no sense that there is like no technology anywhere...if my guy is smart enough to make a revolver out of leather metal and wood then he can build an m4 with the right resources

[QUOTE=voDKa#_swag;44915516]I mean this is post apocalypse[/QUOTE] I don't think any dev has ever said that we're in a post-apocalyptic world. People just think that because there's irradiated areas and it reminds them of Fallout.
A tire over your mouth? Seems dumb.

Even if I had a full metalworking shop (a machine shop with a lathe, etc.) and full factory schematics for an M4, it would probably take me a few years to get a first working model put together. In contrast, I could probably improvise a pipe shotty in about a 3 hours with the stuff I have in my garage at the moment.
[QUOTE=BluSub6;44924937]A tire over your mouth? Seems dumb.[/QUOTE] Sounds like you shouldn't wear it. I get the impression there will be plenty of options.
Needs more nipple.
Most of you probably know, but there are new improvised clothing concepts on Trello (not mentioning the hotdog haute couture :yarr: ) [url]https://trello.com/c/o5SlL509/104-improvised-clothing-concepts[/url] I personally love them all and hope they will be implemented. Might not be always practical, but as a decadent postapo gang fashion statement to differentiate players, they are awesome.

I want it, I want it now.
[QUOTE=Ebrim;44950157]My wife was quite confused why I was laughing so hard last night after seeing the cardboard box outfit. I want it, I want it now.[/QUOTE] Me too. I mean at first it might look silly, but I guess every postapo world needs its wierdos, as we could see in Mad Max (Gyro Captain) or Water World (the oil tank manager) :zoid:
[QUOTE=Ebrim;44950157]My wife was quite confused why I was laughing so hard last night after seeing the cardboard box outfit. I want it, I want it now.[/QUOTE] It reminds me of when I was in college and some guy would forget to get a costume for the Halloween parties and he would grab a bunch of empty Milwaukee's Best cases (of which there would be many around), make a suit of armor out of it including one on his head, and go as the 'Beastmaster'.

I imagine it in-game and it's definitely going to scare the crap out of players.
i like how the tire piece only covers his left ass cheek this is pretty silly though tbh
