Suggestion Title: Rubbish being searchable and interactable
Suggestion Description: Reading Choppers post about emptying beer bottles made me think of this instead.
I think the addition of being able to search bins and rubbish (including the rubbish that can randomly spawn on the side of the road) would be cool. It could give items like cardboard, wooden boards, etc. most important thing to find is empty bottles as the only way to get these is from drinking beer, right?
I get this can be overpowered when it comes to crafting, I think even if you can ONLY find bottles in the trash, could make this a helpful and cool addition.
I think more can be done with this too. Like hiding weapons in rubbish, such as weapons that have been used in a crime and needs to be hidden, or drugs if you’re getting chased. This could be searchable by police.
To make this more balanced for police, say if a civ interacts with stash (to hide contraband or weapons) it can take some time to open the menu, and a loud searching noise will be played such as bottles being moved and rolling and so.
Why should this be added?:
- another way to get materials. Including materials that you can only gather in tedious ways, such as bottles
- makes the map more interactive, making it feel more alive.
- Adds depth to criminals and police. New ways to hide weapons and makes police investigate more.
- brings people out of their base/shop to gather materials rather than sitting around all day getting deliverys. This is optional as they can still chose to get it delivered.
What negatives could this have?:
- if the loot pools are too large then people will buy materials from shops less, effecting the courier job. This is why limiting it to bottles could be good, or getting the loot tables correct.
What problem would this suggestion solve?: - Will add another way to get materials, changes the gameplay loop a little from stand infront of a work bench, get deliveries and craft for hours. Makes people leave their home / shop to go drive round, scavenge and interact a bit more rather than sitting inside.
- adds more depth and variety to criminals and police by being able to stash weapons and items on the fly. More role play opportunities.
