Could zombie survival/salvage work together as a game?
(1/3) > >>
Pliny:
With DrenDran's Salvage Mod available, would a server that mixes ZAPT with the Salvage mod be a feasible, yet fun server? I came up with it while playing the zombie game show, when it occurred to me that it would be a pretty good idea. I thought that it would be good to mix a map suck as the Slopes with scattered brick areas. The players would have to venture out from a home spawn in order to get more bricks, which they require to withstand zombies that will be aggressively placed to spawn near the starting base. There would also be zombie spawns placed lightly between the routes for the brick sources and out in the open between routes/structures. This may also force them to coordinate, so that (as an example) one group could salvage for bricks and another could defend the home base. To give players incentive to stay at base, the base would start out slightly better-enforced and stocked than structures that could be cannibalized for bricks.

If players tried to migrate to a new base, then maybe an events system could be made to force more zombies to spawn or congregate towards the new area of player interest. While vehicles would be available for quick travel, none would be airborne. A gasmod would also be put in place to limit travel to some degree, and make payers try to put some vague form of planning into their movements.

Does anyone think this would be a functional idea?
Swollow:
Yes it seems pretty functional but the zombies might be a bit laggy
BobSevenSevens:
Would be pretty good, only possible problems are:

1: You'd need none of the people playing to be idiots.

2: What happens when you've cannibalized every structure?

Other than that, a suggestion for that would be to give everyone at the beginning a gun that sucks, but has unlimited ammo, and scatter guns around that are good, but have limited ammo.

Also, maybe try to incorporate parts of the Stranded mod into it? Like, you need food every once in a while?
Momentum:
That would be awesome.
DrenDran:
Intresting, if you need any features added, just ask me.
