Suggestions for next update - Rust

Hello, I think that Rust is a great game, but I definitely think it needs some atmosphere to it, and a couple of new things to go along with the atmosphere. Some things I would love to see done to the game - Add Rain to the game - Add random leaves floating in the air in forests - Add Thunderstorms to the game - Add Birds Chirping and other atmospheric noises. - Add Crossbows (Crafting Recipe 7 Low Quality Metal, 5 Leather, 40 Wood (120 damage to no armor, 105 to cloth, 95 to leather, 85 to kevlar) Can tank a crossbow shot if in the limbs, damage tables are based on chest/head/neck - Add Bolts (Ammo for Crossbow), 2 Metal Fragments, 4 Wood, 4 Feather's, Creates 4 Bolts. - Add Birds, Same drop tables as chickens, guaranteed to drop 2 feathers. - Add Shears, Crafted for 4 low quality metal, Used to harvest animals, gives more (random) (25%/50%/75%) cloth/leather/feathers than using a hatchet does. I think in the next couple of updates rust adding a cool new weapon, and some atmosphere would go a long way for the game.

Oh yes OP. Good thinking. They are working on a new sky atm. if you check their trello you can see what they are up too. but indeed these are really nice and I wouldn't be able to miss this once its in the game. Also for food add Apple trees, Berry bushes etc. I'd also like to throw my stones to someone's head if I could.

You need to rethink the birds... To kill to 2 birds (I guess they will be flying) to get enough feathers to craft 1(!) Bolt for the Crossbow seems to be a lot of work for small reward. Unless the Crossbow is OP and one shot people regardless of where you hit and what type of armor that person wears.

Updated Post Again, Got a better idea. Added the idea for shears, say you harvest a bird with shears, it will give 25%/50%/75% more feathers than if you didn't, this can also work on wolves/pigs/bears. for cloth/leather

sounds good, i'd like to see all of this

more thinking less spamming

I think the crossbow could be good. I think the same power as the normal bow but with no windup could be sufficient balance. As the crossbow would be higher tier than the bow hence should have advantages. No one hitting though. That would be ridiculous.

Some really good ideas here. I like the idea of adding something to the game such as feathers. They can have multiple uses of course. Like you said, it can be an ingredient in bolts, but can also be used as an ingredient in beds. I am sure there are more uses for it. As for the birds, they would be easy to kill assuming they are perched on a tree. Killing one while flying would be much harder to do. I believe adding birds (such as crows) would be awesome as they can all hide in trees and when gunshots go off they all start caw'ing and fly from the trees. Could add some nice atmoshpere to the game.

you could make feathers a more common drop, if the birds sits still in a tree you can hit them with ease (just practice this). Chickens should drop these too. so you can make atleast a couple of arrows. So should look like this: Chickens drop 2-3 feathers. Birds drop 4 or more feathers. You could also apply feathers only for Bolts and not arrows. Cause I think a crossbow is more advanced then a normal bow wich should make it harder to obtain it, aswel for the ammo.

[QUOTE=BaSkA_;43859550]You could also get feathers from chickens?

I think you miss the point here: the trouble of adding birds (that fly) and a new item (feathers) is just too big, IMO. Most items don't even have a description when you highlight them, there should be some kind of priorities... Anyway. Crossbows should have some kind of a better sight than bows and be slower to shoot the next arrow than bows. Also, they should shoot a faster projectile, hence a smaller "bolt[bullet] drop". Damage should probably be the same.

Javelins?

that's some smart stuff :D
