Fireplace absurdity
Confirmed Internally, UrgentPublic

Description

Please patch/change fireplaces as they are scattered all over roads on servers, are basically invisible, and stop vehicles like they are deeply rooted tree. Allowing vehicles to freely pass through fireplaces would correct this error. They are used to constantly flip and block spawn cars on custom/modded server too, and is impossible to stop this given ease of crafting. The fireplaces are invisible when players are carrying and cause unrealistic nuisance.

If you do remove the hitboxes please give us something to use as caltrops for vehicles.

I understand not wanting them since people climb with them but for area denial for vehicles they are great....

That's reasonable, but it should be something specific for blocking that requires much more complex crafting. Fireplaces are extremely simple to make, are near impossible to see, and stop a car dead like a thick tree. That is an absurdity. The fireplaces are a nightmare on the community servers as it renders car spawns either useless (fireplaces places under spawn) or roads constantly full of invisible death traps for places. On official it's irrelevant as sadly only ever seen one driving car in all my years of playing DayZ on official across numerous platforms, thousands of hours. That's telling in itself that the vehicles are too hard to put together on official, a whole other topic, I've met players who didn't even know drivable cars were on it, and that they are actually quite fun to drive with decent physics for players in PC or Series S/X or PS5, which is most players now.
