Content Suggestion Site Staff task give scavenging XP

Content Suggestions will be reviewed by Content Team weekly, please allow time as not everything can be reviewed at once.
What does this suggestion change/add/remove:

This may be quite unorthodox, but this suggestion is to allow Site staff to gather scavenging XP from either doing certain tasks around the site, like fixing sub stations and computers as well as adding a new task for janitor staff which is to empty trash cans, giving the scavenging XP., the basis for this would be like the Sims repair system. When any electrical equipment is repaired (computer, sub system box, CCTV etc), a scrap pile will appear on the floor (like a decal, similar to the janitors mess decals), Janitors & E&TS personnel like IT, Engie Techie & Janitors would have the ability to clean the pile, granting scavenging XP.

The additional task would be available to janitors, allowing them to clean out the trash cans which would be around the facility. The trash cans would fill up after a certain amount of time. complete fill or overtime (your choice). A janitor would walk up to these & using Keys or a new cleaning equipment, would empty the trash can, also granting XP to scavenging.

Additonally, for Janitors. When cleaning out the trash, there is a chance for the cans to drop scavenged items, consistant with the food stacks. To balance this out, trash cans would have a higher chance of giving more average to poor quality items.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:

I am not sure, there is probably a suggestion somewhere, but i cant find it.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):

  • Breaks the gameplay loop of civilians on surface, this is a must need, as many can agree, civs are only used nowadays for a few purposes, Scavenging for Class-A & cyanide ingredients, minimal RP or GM usage. This overall would allow civilians to focus more on RP around Surface & within FOB's.

  • More usage & additions for Site Staff to do around the site, gaining more than just support XP.

  • Use of scavenging levels on foundation as currently its only gates to surface factions & some SOP who choose to scavenge.

  • Reduce the function of players only flagging on civ to scavenge for rare materials

  • Possible built-in Roleplay in the form of local csay’s (possible)
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:

  • a little less activity on civilians who only play for scavenging

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:

I believe this should be accepted because it would greatly benefit the Site Staff players of the server & break the gameplay loop for civilian's as they are becoming used solely for the purpose of scavenging, unless you are randomly going around as a CI, GOC or SOP.
