Post #1(although if this is complicated i posted it) So, lately i was thinking, wat da fok, water is just void ? (Voidowater lolz) So, what about more use for it. Please read this post before you judge it, i have pretty alot of ideas you don't want to waste.
1) Thirst
There was a lot of speculation about this one, yet when i combined this with my ideas, i find this like a super awesome upgrade to the game.
Basicly i created (Preview) a effect called Thirsty (unfortunately i don't have rust ingame font available) It causes health to stop regenerate and makes it decrease by time, and also
decreases your power :
1.1) Water collecting
With thirst, there haves to be a way to satisfy it. So basicly, you have to find water. You can drink driectly from lakes or rivers by pressing M hotkey (2.1) which will give you half of base items effect, except irradiated water, OR you can use empty water bottles / water skins to fill it. Getting water from river will result into getting pure water but getting water from lakes will result in dirty water and getting water from irradiated lakes would result into getting irradiated water. Water bottles which restore more thirst can only and only be found in airdrops and radtowns. Water skin has got durability, as it gets filled more and more it loses it's durability (It can't be repaired).
Empty water skin requiresto craft
Item cycle:
Empty water bottle/Pure water in bottle/ +3L thirst, +10 HP / Item destroyed
Empty water bottle/Dirty water in bottle/ +1L thirst, -10 HP / Item destroyed
Empty water bottle/Irradiated water in bottle/ +2L thirst, +500 radiation > RADIATION effect / Item destroyed
Empty water skin/Pure water in skin/ +1.5L thirst /Empty water skin
Empty water skin/Dirty water in skin/ +0.5L thirst /Empty water skin
Empty water skin/ Irradiated water in skin/ +1L thirst, 250 radiation/ Empty water skin
Water skin (Model by FlawlessSin, i choose his because it fits in Rust. perfectly) :
2) Boats
Yeah, boats. I'm not talking about some super-modern metal boats but about small wooden boats. They would have limited durability
and to ride them, you would need a paddle.
A boat model:
3) Rivers, lakes
So, when i was thinking about boats, i think it would be good, but it had a single problem - the sea around island can't be used to ride boats on.
So rivers and lakes solves it. Rivers could be scattered around the Rust Island connected to lakes and seas (So you actually could ride boat in sea). Also rivers could be in mountains resulting in waterfall. Lakes near some radiation source would be irradiated.
3.1) On pole houses (Idea by Br00dl0rd)
You could only build these in lakes and sea, because river would smite poles down. Ladder or jetty (if you have built yourselves a boat or want use it to catch fishes (3.2) )
They would be harder to raid, but they would have to be difficult to maintain and have smaller decay than normal houses.
3.2) Fishing (Idea by Stradosphere)
Very usefull for those who live in pole house. It is very usefull because if there is no wildlife nearby, you have nothing and nothing and again nothing
to eat except your Rock (Trust me, you won't eat your best friend Rock). Simple fishing pole is only and required tool to fish, of course you will need a bait too(Worms).
4) Rain
Hell yeah, thats what everyone want's, tho it would be a FPS eater because of hitting objects and don't clipping it (eg. Minecraft)
It would have many uses.... While out when it's raining, you will get Wet effect which you can see here, it causes
-30% movement speed:
4.1) Rain usage
When it rains, you wouldn't have to water your crops (Farming as said Garry Newam is in WIP http://playrust.com/updateless-week/ ) . Building a rain well, it would collect rain. After the storm you could collect the water into Empty water bottle, Empty water skin or drink it. The well holds 5
"units" of water.
4.2) Rain and wildlife
All animals during rain will be near mountains, cliffs, stones, trees and forests. A worms will apear while raining, they can be used as fishing bait (3.2).

- Well, finally i let my minds to flow out like "WATER" ! Hah, got it ?

I think current water bottle in the game is a sign of near-future updates.Procedural map generation is on it's way and from the pictures ,i think we can have lakes at several points of the map.Which will probably will give us more options about water.
-
Indeed, but i'm not talking only about water bottles here ...
-
So you read only the first few words what i typed over there... Anyway i'll be kind person and repeat what i try to explain,i'm not talking about water bottles too
More options mean fishing,swimming,new water sources,farming etc.
Edit:I do not wanna sound harsh or anything,i just want people to read the whole thing :)
-
There's already a few games around with a balanced thirst/hydration system. Aside from all that radiated water lying around in crates, we could collect it from rivers/lakes and if it ever starts raining, the sky!
Maybe boil it on a campfire to clean it, or create a simple carbon filter to purify it. Desalinisation could be available later with more advanced blueprints so you could use seawater in places with no fresh supply.
Might link to stamina, so along with making you heal slower it would also decrease run speed, carry weight and melee/mining effectiveness.

Got bored, had about 15 minutes before I have to leave, liked the idea, So I made this:
Obviously it's not the best, but like i said, it was made in a few minutes, will update with a better model soon.
EDIT: apparently I'm not allowed to post images, so direct link is below

I really like the wooden boat idea.
The new map system would probably have some small islands in lakes and the ocean, you could ride out to one and base there. Swimming should be allowed too, but boats would just be a way of moving faster in water and having the ability to take a person or two with you on the boat.
-
Nice start, I'd maybe lighten up the color a little and define the funnel and cork some more. Rough it up a bit and get some weave round the side perhaps?
Its exciting to think that one day your design could be saving the digital lives of thousands of dehydrated survivors.
-
Love these ideas! I think it'd be a great addition!
On a side note...You could build a lake house or something similar, but you cant use a normal foundation...you need a NEW type, like a jetty like structure? Then add ladders to be able to climb it? Just some ideas ^^
-
Im actually working on boat model
Edited:
Nice, i will add those under People ideas :D
EDIT: http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/20...b__430x268.jpg something like that would be cool, but a much bigger !
-
I plan too, like i said It was about 20 minutes or so using mostly basic shapes before i headed off to work, plan to define it a bit more sometime tonight.
I've already applied to be a 3D modeler a few days ago. Here's to hoping.
EDIT:
didn't realize you posted my model on your first post OP, cheers, like i said, I should have a much better one completed by tonight.
If anyone has any skills in texturing, I'd love to have some help with it, I can do basic stuff but most of my textures are just from google with small edits.
EDIT (again) may make a well object too.
Restarted the project.
Deformed the main bag of the water skin.

I'll probably end up changing the threading on it as I don't entirely like it, and it tends to be problematic at times
-
I really love the thirst idea. Lowering your run speed, etc, maybe causes "blur" on the screen when very dehydrated.
Lakes, rivers, boats, houses on poles. Now this is sweet! I pretty much agree with every idea you gave here. Rain would be last on the list tho, not that i dont like it but other features benefit the game a lot more.
And what i personally want would be SEASONS! Summer, winter, spring, autumn now that would be cool!
