Awesome criticism but I'll say, your suggestions yo make it more realistic would only work against the fun of the mod. As you said its already pretty big and can fail pretty hard, and as far as I've seen realism works against fun when implemented too thoroughly in bl, let alone other games. Don't we play games to escape (temporarily) from reality?
And as for problems both inherent in dayz and dayb I think its better to keep them than to fix them. To do that would take unnecessary bricks and effort that would be lost on an engrossed gamer, but visible to outside critiquers. Although I'd really like varying terrain, would it be worth the extra bricks? I don't have a brilliant computer as well as many others.

I can understand not wanting ultra-realism or anything (hiking for hours in DayZ is miserable) but when it's to the point that you can't even tell it's the middle of the apocalypse I consider it a problem.
Also, if the hills were well done it wouldn't take very many extra bricks. The terrain already ramps up and down, you'd just make it go farther up before coming down.

@ Z(e)alot
For the terrain, yes I understand, we're still trying to keep a hold on a lower brickcount. I never understood why the buildings would be charred or whatever because I feel that it is over emphasized in zombie apocalypses. View this as the country side fled to safety and all was left behind. As for furniture and all that, we don't want it because it will be too much bricks for the wanted brickcount.
The bushes should work, where did you find a collision-less one?
Also: that's a fairly poor picture, but leave it up if you wish.
Updating the OP soon!

Buildings in an apocalypse would be torn up. Go look at pictures of Chernobyl.

That was a nuclear disaster in 1986, I'm afraid that's not a good comparison. That's around thirty years of decay, while what I'm doing is less than a year.
