Whitney Posted July 1, 2020 Report Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) Hello. I'd like to suggest a feature to trash containers because I've noticed that A LOT of people dump their trash/stuff they don't need right on the streets/sidewalks/inside stores. I myself, I roleplay looking for a trashcan to dump my empty water bottles since I already have a lot of them in my RV's fridge which I refill from time to time. How it should be done? (In my opinion) They should be treated as bags/crates but immovable. If you want to dump something, have it in your inventory and 'Search' it (no pick-up or carry options, just search) and dump it. People can roleplay if they would like to, but there should always be the 'Stranger_XXXX_XXXX dumps -item name- into the container'. How would this be beneficial? (1) Homeless/poor characters would be able to do their roleplay decently and realistically. I at some points do it and a lot of people have noticed me looking into trash containers to show them that I'm looking for food/water. (2 -- For the Police Department) It's illegal if people dump their trash over a property which is owned by someone or over by a residential property. If anyone is caught doing it, they can be fined. (3) Realism and cleaner areas. People will also be cautious and will use them eventually when the PD starts to fine the people they witness doing it. (5) If there's a garbageman job, it could be improved as well if this feature gets implemented. Garbagemen would have to drive to trashcans and collect the trash and then load them into their truck and dump them to where they belong to have trashcans cleared out from time to time.

Xoza Posted July 7, 2020 Report Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) +1 You can just right click/smash bottles, but I've been thinking of this lately as well... An idea on expanding trash, there could be at a furniture item, or a few different types that deletes items you place in it, even allowing you to dispose of evidence. Item deletion, each item has its own timer, the longer it stays in the trash, the 'decay' timer ticks. Small Trash Can 6 slots. Destroys items in 5 minutes. Creates a trash bag nearby for every 60 items Large Trash Can 12 slots. Destroys items in 5 minutes. Creates a trash bag nearby for every 120 items. Dumpster 24 slots. Destroys items in 5 minutes. Creates a trash bag nearby for every 240 items. Incinerator 6 slots Destroys items in 30 seconds Items can't be retrieved. (you could look at what's in there). Doesn't create trash bags. Campfire 6 slots Destroys items in 60 seconds Items can't be retrieved. (you can look at what's in there). Doesn't create trash bags. Trashbag 30 vol bag that you can pick up and/or [right click > sift] through to get a random variety of 6-10 items in your inventory or on the ground based on what was thrown out. Bag would remain but be 'sifted through' and still be able to be picked up. Can be picked up by garbage job. Players seen sifting through trash and leaving the mess could be charged with littering. Garbage Truck 24 slots Immediately 'destroy' items placed in its inventory and 'fills' the truck 0.1 of what one bag would fill. Allows a driver to sift, then decide to get rid of junk items. Body in trash bag idea below. Edited July 7, 2020 by Xoza
