For you survivalists out there I give you...- Litter!

I believe stuff only gets dissolved when an acid puddle forms directly over it, and that only happens when it lies directly on the road. I’ve never had an issue with anything off the road dissolving.

Oh, well then, carry on.

You haven’t tried no-cities mode, have you? It’s an entirely different game. Personally I think this would be a welcome addition.

I love to play that way it really changes the survival aspect

Good plan, what items should appear amoung “road trash”? (don’t feel the need to limit it to items in the game, e.g. “paper cup” should definitely be in there)

vache · 2013-12-12T22:29:53.000Z

paper wrapper, plastic bag, cigarette butt, loose change, empty bottles, empty cans, small pieces of paper/cloth/plastic, paper bags (fast food trash), styrofoam containers, broken small toys

Cans, paper, rags, clothes(?), sheets (sometimes), maybe a book or two, cell phones…

Yeh.

Don’t forget occasional roadkill, (new player: gasp “are other people still driving around?!” :o)

I’m loathe to suggest it, but torn clothing.[sub][sub][sub][sub][sub][sub][sub][sub][sub][sub][sub][sub][sub][sub][sub]Btw, nerf zombie clothing.[/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub]
Used gum
hub caps
an occasional (rusted?) tool- road construction
traffic cones!

I’m drawing blank.

Good suggestions so far. Hard to think up too many more, really.

“A Shoe” … not shoes … just 1 shoe. It’d be unwearable, but maybe you could cut it up. I see random single shoes far too often on roadsides.
Trucker Caps/Baseball caps that are rather beat up. I see hats often too.
Sunglasses. Usually beat up or broken.
Unreadable magazines (too wet and/or muddy to read … but they’d burn.)
Discarded prophylactics. Hey look Griz, a new source of plastic, if you dare! LOL

If you add traffic cones, I want a “Traffic Cone Hat” recipe.

You reinforce the survivormask, making it extra sturdy!

vache · 2013-12-13T14:18:08.000Z

Newspapers, dead batteries (not sure how to model this in game), random shopping cart (if you’re on the bad side of town)

Mattamue · 2013-12-13T21:21:27.000Z

Condoms. Did someone say condoms yet? Condoms. Someone did.

Pulled a few adopt a highway cleanups in my lifetime: empty garbage bags strewn like discarded placenta across the ditches.

Hyena_Grin · 2013-12-13T21:29:26.000Z

Perhaps even an occasional illegal ‘community’ dumping site, where people have repeatedly thrown trash. Maybe some mutated rats or some other appropriate monster might lurk at these sites, but you find a higher density of trash and maybe even a few genuinely useful items.

Belteshazzar · 2013-12-15T00:39:48.000Z

Do we have Junk Yards and Landfills yet? I know we have Hazardous Waste Sarcophagi and Sewage Plants but those are often a bit more ‘extreme’ in their contents.

Landfills might even be equipped with energy-generating waste burners, which would be valuable all on their own once building power becomes ‘a thing.’ Garbage trucks might also be good for some laughs.

Now I think, might there be some robots/automated systems dedicated to managing waste sites? Forever collecting, compacting and pushing around garbage until they themselves become scrap.

StopSignal · 2013-12-15T00:43:56.000Z

Flyers please.

FunsizeNinja123 · 2013-12-15T02:24:10.000Z

We really need scrapyards/junkyards. Also construction sites…
