Bedrolls with inventory slots?

I ain’t going to say a lot, I think you all get the neccecity of this item. The question is?
Crafted on players inventory or in artisans bench?
Second question…
How many slots?

Use bedroll plus campfire. Easier to see than bedroll alone, 10 slots, can cook food if you need, disposable. What’s not to like.

:rofl:, good point of workaround my friend still its heavy. Even now I do not carry bedrolls, I carry hide because bedrolls are heavy. The campfire too, you need ten kg for both. I believe that these bedrolls must be fixed on your inventory, with a bit more complex materials, but not as heavy as a bedroll like it is already.
@CodeMage numerous times we die and spawn night, or without food or healing or whatever. I believe a bedroll with five slots would be super. To place a torch, some food, a weapon and a couple potions. The fifth slot would be situational, I mean warmakers(?) an extra key, volcano(?) some ice
Frost areas(?) some muled brew.
It can weight a bit more than the others, let’s say 7 kg, but if you can fix it in your inventory np, the materials will surely cost less so it’s ok. Yet if you ask me I wouldn’t like more materials than hide and twine.

Unlimited with a slider for the values.

PvP Officials default: 10
PvE Officials default: 2,000

Hmmm. I understand the idea. More or less you’d like a way to quickly and cheaply setup a respawn point with some backup gear.

I like it. It could be a single placeable that includes a tent, chest, campfire and some lamps, maybe it could also act as a clan/player spawn point but there can only be one at a time, similarly to bedrolls.

Look. How many times you got attacked night and die? Would you wish to had a torch?
Why you don’t put bedrolls in volcano? Because naked without ice you stand no chance, you will definitely die again.
We can speak of numerous occasions that spawning in your bedroll may be a bad idea in pve.
For pvp I know that on scouting these bedrolls would be the only ones to use. The number of slots on bedrolls is on discussion more for pvp players and less for pve. I say this because it could end up bad, really bad actually for pvp players since bedrolls can be hidden easy and placed in very tricky places.
There for I will ask @erjoh, @Barnes and @SirDaveWolf, do you see “this” causing problems on pvp?

I dunno why they would, it’s already very common practice to set up a chest and a bedroll just outside the skirmish area. All your idea does is consolidate them.

@TeleTesselator
Chests and campfires are easy to be detected and destroyed by the enemy, bedrolls are harder to detect.

Not by much… You will NOT find my bedroll and chest until long after the skirmish has ended.

Well there are a lot of spaces, where you can “squeeze” something through into some small chambers inside the terrain or whatever. A neat little stash.

But it’s easier to simply use a 2nd account and bodyvault in some locations where people will never look.

My concern and question is “if” bedrolls with slots would cause issues to pvp. I am pretty sure pvp players have their ways to do whatever they need without this feature :wink:.

Can you help me here please?
Do you think that this could be applied to the already existing bedrolls, or should be an item that you craft in a bench?
And why, ofcurce :grin:

This idea is nice. It is also ripe for abuse in PvP. Even if slots are designated, like how Marcos suggests, raiders will turn such a feature into an endless Zerg rush.

Solo scenario, non-designated slots:
I fill my slots with boom mats and orbs. Hide my easily-hid bedroll near their base and go to town. The predictable defense is that they again take more landclaim, thus placing themselves at risk of wipe. Further, any smart clan will know where bedrolls can hide, and thus “occupy” all those slots with landclaim, further risking wipe.

Clan scenario, designated slots:
The bedroll would basically act as an auto-kit. A dead dude can zap in, hit a key, rejoin the fight. Envision a protected Raid Base near the enemy outer wall. Young Clan member is designated the Kit Keeper. He shuttles back and forth on the battlefield and reloads the array of bedrolls.

Excuse me while I yonk this idea for my painfully long task list for my mods.

Yes, this would give a great advantage to big clans. This feedback is enough for me, thank you @Barnes I really appreciate your contribution.

Happy to, and I don’t want to rain on your idea. While sandboxing game improvements, you should take the Developers’ self-described approach: pay no consideration to PvP. We will, of course, take every improvement and turn it into a nightmare if you don’t watch us like hawks. :wink:

Okay, until this, I was completely against the idea. But the idea of an improved bedroll, I love it.
