Surviving in The Exclusion Zone with some more threats such as an actual temperature system? Having to take shelter from the rain under a roof, or warm up by a cozy fire? Now the weather actually matters. But wait- you also want to create your own little camp in the middle of the forest? Or a whole hideout in an abandoned house you found? This is all possible with this mod.
The mod itself has no name just yet and it is a work in progress, but it has both of these systems. It is fully integrated with Craftable and Lootable Zone mods. Let's go bit by bit on how it works.
Base Building:
About +500 items so far can be placed. These include from little items like lamps, beds, chairs or kitchen items, to full structures like walls, floors, roofs or even doors. There are lots of types of each aswell, and many have custom functionalities or interactibility. How does it work?
- Open the quick access wheel, and select Building Menu.
- Find the item you look for. There are filters and subfilters to find the different items, aswell as a search function, which is preserved after closing the menu even! Click on the item you wish to place.
- Move the item around as you yourself move your character and the camera. If the item can be placed, it will glow green, if it can't, it will glow red. Some can be placed on walls, others can't. Press Q or E to rotate the item as you are placing it. Press LMB to place the item on the position you chose.
- You can enter Detail Placement Mode through the quick access wheel. This will allow you to set precise coordinates or move the item after it was placed. It will also allow you to destroy the item. When entering this mode, make sure you are close to the item you wish to edit. Then click on the properties button next to its name in the UI, it will glow the same colour as the small image under its name (for quick identifying). Edit it, and close the menu.
Through this, you can create your own small little camp, your own wooden cabin, or your hideout inside a bunker or abandoned warehouse! The Base Building part of the mod is fully integrated with Craftable and Lootable Zone. Many items you can find with Lootable Zone can directly be placed onto your home or your camp, such as the radio, which is fully working. You can craft your own sleeping bag to place under your also newly crafted tent, to sleep inside. Craftable Zone will allow you to craft lots of items that you can later on place, such as doors, stools, even posters, using the items from Lootable Zone, and you can even use the cooking system from Craftable Zone with the fires or stoves of this base building system.
You can even gather wood to make a fire!
Want to organise your base by stash? You can also do it. Say goodbye to having ammo, armours, artefacts, weapons, fifty medkits of each, bread and sausages all stuffed into the same chest. Now you can place stashes in your own hideout and even organise through that.
Temperature System:
The temperature system is based on how DayZ's temperature system works. You can disable this system fully through the config button in the quick access menu if you do not like it. Inside this config menu you can also tweak the many values the temperature system works with. Allow me to explain:
This system adds two new stats into the game: Temperature and Wetness. These two are affected by your surroundings, and even where you are in the map. The temperature is your base temperature, your own body temperature. Wetness goes up if you are under the rain for too long, or walk through water, and it affects the temperature directly. The temperature is affected aswell by the altitude (from down to up), how north you may be, the wind speed, the weather, and the time of day. You can seek shelter under a roof, or approach a fire to dry and warm up. This all is indicated inside a small new UI under the health bar, DayZ like.
Atm, no download links, will be posted when its finished.
keep up the great work, myself and the community are thankful for your talent.
