Ep.135 This Should Be Vanilla DayZ
DayZ's modding community is a treasure trove of incredible ideas, but what if some of those fan-favorite features made it into the official game? This week on Friendly?: A DayZ Podcast, we're diving into the wish list of mods that we believe should be integrated directly into DayZ's vanilla experience.Join us as we champion additions like:A "New Player" Friendly Mode: Imagine an optional setting with extra stamina, a simple party system, and a pinging tool to help fresh spawns find their footing and friends.Rainwater Collection: The simple yet crucial ability to collect drinking water directly from the rain, adding another layer of realistic survival.Civilian Heli Crashes: Expanding dynamic events beyond military sites to include more common, yet still valuable, civilian helicopter crash zones.Code Locks for Bases: The highly requested feature of secure code locks for base building, offering a more robust and convenient way to protect your loot.Bicycles: Bringing back the beloved, silent, and efficient mode of transport that would revolutionize early-game travel and scouting.We'll discuss the impact these changes could have on accessibility, realism, and the overall longevity of DayZ.
