Deactivate The Hability To Take External Car Parts Off

[Muse]

Suggestion: removing the hability to remove the external car parts from it, even possible? Idk. There is a lot of doors, hoods and trunks spawns in the industrial instead of actual important stuff, like wheels, and other building stuff. Plus, we wouldn't see cars missing doors and blue doors on white cars for eample, looking like some Mad Max shit, but I think we would need for the external parts to be unbreakable for that to happen. The main advantage from this is that external car parts wouldn't need to spawn anymore, and we would find more wheels instead of olga hoods, and it would be very performance friendly, mainly for Livonia

I'm going to abstain from voting, I would honestly lean in either direction.

I for one would prefer if external parts didn't take damage, but I still think they should have the ability to be removed, so that players can bail quicker if needed be. I know PvP-oriented groups tend to do this...

I also think it'd be nice to see less junk spawning and more useful items spawning as well. Such as wheels, batteries, sparkplugs, tools, etc.

Trying to remove the parts you don't want from the loot table in order to get more access to the ones you do is pretty sketch. Definite -1, way too broken to just remove the "bad" items from the loot table in order to just have the good shit.

i do what i want

Since car parts only spawn on car wreckages (at least in Livonia) I don't see the point. There's excess of tools and building materials around industrial areas.

What do you mean by Sketch?

Car parts doesn't spawns in Chernarus, and the car parts from the wrecks are rusty and mostly doesn't match the car colour

The server is not PVP focused

I vote no as finding items you don't want is kinda the entire base game. Finding stuff that you want is the reason to search for loot. If you just find everything you need right away then.... What do you do once you found it? My thinking is maybe a bit extreme but it is what it is.

But then why do the vanilla version don't have a car part every garage you go? This is just a DayZRP flail, but the main factor of this suggestion is because I just don't want to see doorless cars around

I haven't played a vanilla server in months. I can't really answer that question. But I can say that in my own experience, once I had all 4 wheels, I never really had to get a new wheel. So if you found wheels easier then you would end up with just leaving a bunch of "useless" wheels around.

But it's better to have things like, shovels, tools alike, and nails and hammers. Dude, whatever industrial item, instead of doors, and the suggestion here is, to remind you, disable the removal of external car parts and disable it's damage, so people don't really have a reason to remove it, and no, PVP it's not a valid excuse. Car parts are a big performance enemy btw. What do you think it's cooler, a doorless car, or a full set NORMAL car?

Not sure how it works, but if increasing the spawn rate for hammers and such (without removing the ability to take external car parts) then maybe that's something that could be looked into?

Not sure about you, but when i see a doorless car i get disturbed xd

I mean that you shouldn’t have those ideas because it implies you want the game to be easy for you. I’m not trying to be mean, that’s just what I’m gleaning

 

 It’s also worth mentioning that, given the value of cars, items like tires and repair supplies should be rare. It forces the player to work towards getting a car, and to take care of it once it works

I think a better idea would be to require a certain tool to remove the vehicle parts.

I think it's better to not take them off at all, what's the use of the car parts really?? Just leave em on the cars, the cars in this server already spawn with all car parts, so why do we need more car parts?? They are just a server parasite

I for one do not see a valid reason and useful method in getting this done. 

Why? It deliberately suggests disabling a function in-game, and in my eyes its a waste of time that will not bring anything to the servers quality. 

A better suggestion was the capability to repair essential car parts like it's engine after it was damaged, using a wrench, perhaps a new item called "Vehicle Repair Toolkit" that let's you fix a vehicle from Badly Damaged to Worn, which could take like 5 or 10 minutes to complete. 

Of course I have more frustrating times finding a wheel on Livonia and frustrating to find a door in a shack on Chernarus. But it is what it is. 

-1 from me. Provides no aid, no game change, only cuts elements that could be RPd.

How would you RP with a car door?

"Shit, they shot the damn door! It's very shit to drive with a whistle. Ah the windows are also cracked, I need a replacement."

We are here to roleplay, not to make it "easier", I Roleplayed having a bump in my door and I still Roleplayed it out. 

 

Why would you remove a possible element to roleplay just because of a discomfort of having the option delivered by the Official Devs. 

Perhaps I want my white Olga with black doors. It shouldn't be denied.

Because car parts can be ruined? 

[Duplessis]

Why? Its a nonissue in my opinion. Leave it as is.

[Eagle]

Sounds pretty pointless to remove it just for the sake of it.

I don't think this would be a good idea. It would probably be hard to implement and I do think it takes a certain level of realism out of the game. However, I do agree that some of the spawn rates should be tweaked. Nobody ever looks for car doors or hoods, yet I find them all the time. The things people need like spark plugs and wheels seem to be far rarer and makes it extremely difficult to repair cars. The other day I spent probably 6 hours trying to find wheels for a sarka and found none. Especially when the map is so big, vehicles should be a little easier to access. At this point, the only people who have cars is groups because they already have cars to help look for parts.

Not just that, but doorless cars are bad for looks and RP, and I see a lot of it because people sometimes take the part off when it's ruined or whatever reason

How am I gonna do my best Mad Max impression without being able to remove the doors from my car???
