    Speakers are never a waste. Take all the sensors and all the speakers and install them in your friend's house when he's away. Next time a zombie appears he'll get a heart attack. Then you can take his stuff because he won't play with you any more.

    I think this part is an issue. A lot of the stack versions of things one might want to use a chemistry station for are also locked behind magazines. Perhaps chemistry station should come way earlier in progression but the stack versions of things could be swapped for the things themselves? Would...

    No need to wonder any more. I made a modlet with your suggestions. Removes scaling from mods and scales damage off quality only (and perks). T0 is squished, and T1+ starts at higher and higher scaling levels (resulting in a lower increase per Q but it makes the jump from Q6 to higher tier Q1...

    This is on par with a broken condom in how quickly and drastically it changes the remainder of your life.

    That doesn't "fix" the problem though, it just makes it less apparent. The current system needs to go. My guess is that it's an old relic that was patchworked in without much thought and put on the "later" pile. Items scale poorly because the mod system is completely out of whack. Adding 10%...

    What is it that makes it the most powerful? The turrets? The width of play styles it can create? Also, less importantly, do you believe INT needs a nerf, and if so what do you think should be nerfed? I'm asking because I'm trying my hand at modding, changing attributes and skills and how they...

    Ahh, then I follow. No, I don't think INT needs to be bolstered. I do think it would be neat if INT (all the attributes really) had something to show off your superior intellect as a capstone, like the ability to see the HP bar of zombies,  or a modifier for the night vision goggles to show...

    I forgot about daring adventurer completely, even though it's my favorite to max early. That double reward when clearing the quest tiers is too tasty. I don't know what you are responding to here otherwise. That INT shouldn't have synergies with other trees? That INT shouldn't have a capstone...

    I lowered the damage numbers a bit (32, 40, 50, for regular, HP, Enhanced) and the weapons fit great. The iron sights + inbuilt silencer are wonderful. Congratulations on a well made mod! Yes, I started with agility now. A harrowing experience, but really fun. I managed to run away from a...

    Hi Izayo, It was not an assertion, but a question. I am going to start a new run, and I was wondering if the .45 ACP weapon pack is equivalent in power to the existing vanilla weapons. I would like to add mods, and yours look great, but I also want to maintain the same challenge curve as it is...

    No but it certainly suggests a limit on any buffing as the stun baton is necessarily limited by its tier. Any considerable boost to batons would need to introduce a T3 baton to keep the progression steady. I'd say the skill progression suggested by that screenshot implicates that the stun baton...

    If the screenshots from the A21 diary are correct, it looks like Pipe Baton and Stun Baton will go into the robotics crafting tree together with sledge, turret, and drone. There's no T3 baton present in the screenshot.

    It is fun to make your own path. That seems more practical outside of quests though, in case you miss a zombie or three by skipping something. I hammer away regardless to get past ledges and other no-no areas where I definitely did not want to get caught by a horde. It's scary how quickly things...

    Maybe not, but they certainly *appear* superior. They have excellent upfront damage for a low stamina cost, they have the most mods available, and they are the closest to a sledgehammer in terms of room clearing speed. They also work well out of the box. Perhaps bleeding is more of an expert...

    Yes, this was my first experience with the game. Yes, that was the impression I got. It makes a lot of sense to avoid critical functions everyone will need. I was thinking useful but not critical effects could be a way to differentiate into "classes" as you put it. STR giving carry capacity or...
