Howdy, read through the recent dev blog and awesome additions, it's great to see Sakhal being supported even more just after the release of Frostline.
The blog made a big emphasis on the geothermal plant being a key POI in the map, with it being in the very centre of the landmass in a valley just down from the volcano it makes sense for this place to be visited but I personally just feel it's a cool area that looks amazing from afar but upon further investigation it just feels like an empty shell, the new changes on experimental look amazing but the location needs an interior. The warehouse section has one which has been turned into a medical/military location which is cool but the rest of the plant needs an interior. There's nothing like this location in DayZ and it would be fantastic exploring this and potentially finding some helpful items such as
- This is where the explosives can only spawn?
- It spawns a higher quantity of industrial loot?
- Another location to find the briefcase?
- Maybe make it a gas zone?
- A mechanic to collect warm liquid to store on your character for extra warmth, just an improvised heat pack but relating to the location and the hot springs?
Adding military stuff to this location does increase its potential but it feels like putting a tiny plaster on a big wound, the area itself is really cool but the actual buildings just fill the space with nothing of interest, the location should be something interesting and unique for the map, not just another place to find military stuff. There's a massive military peninsula for that.
Keep up the awesome work devs :) Really cool to see Sakhal getting worked on more
