Requesting, different ways of obtaining food. Example: #1 Picking vegetables & fruits from trees and plants #2 Farming (planting/harvesting) vegetables & fruits #3 Fish by fishing etc etc... FYI, I'm aware that we can 'find' different types of food and/or hunt animal for food. [url]http://rust.gamepedia.com/Category:Food[/url] Thank you for a great game.
I like the farming idea as a future add-on. I was going to post about how it would take a LOOOONG time to grow, even when fudging the numbers for game time. But you know what? Given that a month in Rust time takes about 30 hours in real world time, it's entirely possible to plant some food and harvest it three real-world days later. That's actually a playable element. It would also have the drawback of tipping other players off that your base is relatively nearby. Good idea!
It's a great idea although if you can build a small farm inside your own compound then expect raiding to get even worse than it is now.
I was thinking maybe #1 would be easier to implement seeing that there are trees already (maybe shrubs?) in the game. Like picking berries off the shrubs (similar to the game "Don't Starve") or when you're axing trees, some fruits fall off the tree so you can pick them up off the ground (might be a helpful when you are starting off...). Maybe have a timer so the fallen fruits will despawn in a certain amount of time or something.
I think the devs said something about introducing canoes and fishing equipment.
It appears no one has thought of cannibalism? That's a pretty valid choice in a survival situation. And with that we can have cannibal cults.
