Use Frogs and Rats for bones (Quick idea)

Postby Pycasne » Mon Sep 23, 2013 2:54 am

I'm going to keep this simple, because I just wanted to make a quick suggestion. Please don't mistake this for whining, I have plenty of bones.

I think that Frogs and Rats should have a "Kill for bone material" option. What this will do is give you a SINGLE Q1 bone.


"What point is that??" you might ask. Bones are a common bottleneck, and many noobs get stuck at this point and rage quit, because of the lack of rabbits and/or other players to donate bones.
This idea would also make fishing a survival skill, because you could make a makeshift fishing rod out of nothing but a tree, a stone, a frog, and some twine.

And of course, 1Q keeps this from being a good source of bone for anything besides emergencies and getting started

A frog on a stick item might be nice as well, for the same drawbacks as rat on a stick.

Any comments? :)

no

If this were applied, boneglue (LCs, Rams, Palisades) would be far too easy to make.

Also they should be q10

I know games aren't realism, but could you imagine trying to cut a tree with a frog skeleton?

Wouldn't 1Q bone make a palisade much weaker?

Also, I can't imagine trying to cut down a tree with a bone to begin with.. that's why the bone material is sharpened.. same as a frog skeleton..

clearly you've never played with a frog..

And no, palisades are always the same strength weither they're made from q1 materials, or q100500

Rabbits and Chicken are common - there's no need for another Beginners bone source...
