The focus of the game is traders/quests/vending machines these days. TFP decided to take the easy way out when they shifted to these systems. It's much easier to create content when it all comes from the same place, traders. I feel betrayed by TFP, but that is just me.

It may work, but it's not in any of my games. If I want to fly, I will play a space game or a sim. :)

That is the crux of the issue for me. I have to skip more and more content that I don't like. I do this with mods to fix and or cut out said content. The problem is it's taking more and more mods to fix the game for me, to the point I have given up.

The dev team was doing some drugs when they came up with this vehicle. 😛

The game will never be balanced between multi-player and solo. The game will never be balanced between traders and the rest of the game when it comes to looting and quests rewards. It's mods or move on.

I would make magazines count as 2 skill ups and cut the magazines loot drops in half. Make the magazines a bit more uncommon because of this. The magazines/books dominating my loot is immersion breaking. If it was my choice, I would scrap the whole system and move back to what we had in 16.4. I...

Why would anyone spam craft when the loot drops were always better, let alone the trader.  They didn't even try to address this until the pipe weapons patch and the move to a slower start. The game is as unbalanced has it's ever been, maybe in another 10 years we will get another overhaul to a...

The traders are the dev team's first love. They have been OP since the start and will never be balanced except by mods. Been many years since the traders were added and till this day they have been WAY OP compared to the looting game outside of questing.

It's funny to see people complaining about the traders who have been WAY OP for far too long. I go back way before traders were put into the game, and they have been OP from the start. Try playing a multi-player server and have balance between those that use the trader and those that don't. It's...

 I see this a lot and knew some that did it. I'm not a min-maxer I played the game sandbox style and my skills came naturally by use. With every system, there is abuse of it, but the old system felt right and worked in this setting. It sure wasn't perfect, as any of them are. It was a lot less...

ON the funny side, what if my survivor can't read, he would be doomed in this new version.

Well yes, that is why I'm here trying to get them to see why it's so bad. The problem is they decided to change the loop after 10 years, and that is different in my book. I don't recall any changes that changed how I play the game. Gate locks no, learn by use no, perk change no, book/magazines...

I'm curious on how long I have to wait before I can play the game again. Is this system going to be a pain to rework? Any time frame? I assume it will be done based on last versions mods I have seen in the past. Well, I can hope.

It's obvious they have no plan on the direction of the game. You only have to look at what the last 5 versions and all the system overhauls. Now we're getting to version 21 and who knows how many more. This is the issue with early access and getting all the money they did up front. They have no...

I'm just as puzzled. It's a survival crafting sandbox game. It has turned into a reading game with combat/looting loops to get said reading done.
