HOW WE APPROACH MECHANICS
Last Resort adds depth where we think it creates better decisions.
Systems have consequences.
Possessions acquire value.
Your decisions create the balance.
Some mechanics are simple. Others take a little work.
The Field Manual is here when you need the details.
VEHICLES
Vehicles are more than large containers with wheels.
Different vehicles have different practical value, and keeping one takes some effort.
A small car is fast and easier to hide, but carries less.
A van gives you more room.
A truck is valuable for entirely different reasons.
Vehicles can be registered, assigned keys, locked, maintained and, under the right circumstances, hotwired.
After a while, it stops being a car.
It becomes your car.
FOOD & SURVIVAL
Finding food is only part of the problem.
Last Resort includes additional cooking, preservation, hunting, foraging and preparation systems that become useful when you need to make supplies last.
CRAFTING
Some useful things are found.
Others are made.
The crafting reference covers custom recipes, actions, furniture, painting and other systems that extend the tools already available in DayZ.
TERRITORIES
Last Resort uses PvE and PvP territories to create different kinds of risk across the map.
The territory reference explains how those areas work, how boundaries affect play and where to find the current maps.
PRACTICE MATTERS
On Last Resort, you get better at the things you actually do. Practice something often enough and experience starts to show.
