It's always bothered me a bit that why do we go whack some stones when the world is full of scrap metal.

Yeah, basically. As well as random encounters there are random locations, such as bars. These contain the crafting materials, like ore, randomly placed either on the ground or in containers. There's also other stuff that can be looted or may need to be stolen from the NPC occupants. That kind of thing.

Scavenging was brought up in the TLA thread too and i mentioned it a while back after I spent a couple of months playing on the russian server.After a while a couple of the more friendly russians who spoke english took me around and showed me all these places around the map that contained different items.What type of items you found depends on where in the world you were at the time.I found gas stations near Reno with junk and metal parts,farms near Modoc with hides and fruits,forested areas near Broken Hills with a shack contianing a knife and some fibers for rope.I enjoyed looking for things and exploring the map for hidden materials,it gave me a reason to leave the towns even though i knew i might die.This is kinda like what Sius is suggesting except the maps were no larger than any we have here for encounters now.They even had maps with manholes that led to sewers filled with molerats that were a bit tougher to kill on your own,but if you managed to beat them you could find 3 or 4 useful crafting items.I would personally love to see this in 2238 as an alternative to mining and looking for plants.

yeah, people have already explore caves and harvesting ripper/small guns from those cave dwellers. The only thing we need is to have raw material/more stuff/critter/maps/small repeatable quests from those encounter maps. So no fundamental change to the current encounter map mechanism.

Well PvE pretty much does not exist right now. But encounter maps could also introduce group "dungeons". Just imagine it!

I hope to get the part of 'Red Guy' in the film adaptation. That was fun to read.
