I believe this also limits single player too, but the notes make it sound like it's only a MP thing... So not sure whether it's a bug, or the note is just not clear.

Yeah just seen this, gets updated as soon as you launch the game

Hey, loving v1.0 so far, I was on always on the fence about the armor, but actually really like it, the balance of things does seem a lot better too.  Could probably still be slowed down a little though, I did craft a tier 6 melee item (stun baton) by day 18 in my current play through, and I...

I'm getting errors from this in A21.1 (not tested in A21) running 2.2.0, and it doesn't seem to be doing the scheduled backups at all either: 2023-08-13T16:37:23 320.697 INF Executing command 'backup list' Fallback handler could not load library C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/7...

I've been gaming since the 1980s (showing my age now), does that count for knowing more about game design? 😛

Yes it is a matter of opinion, your opinion is that it's broken, mine is that it's not and is correct, infact it's also how I'd design it, because I understand risk/reward ratio.  The higher the risk, the higher the reward you should hope for.  Otherwise there's no point in it - that's what...

I have read all the comments, and I disagree with you. This is not a problem in my opinion, I think it's correct, it might be too much perhaps, but I think it's correct.  Traders SHOULD offer better items than you can craft yourself, not all the time, but definitely some of the time. I...

No it's not, you can go around looting mailboxes, trash, buying them, nerd polling to the end loot, cars etc etc.  I didn't say it was zero risk, and you should be crafting level 1 stone axes, whilst being offered purple steel axes at the trader, just that it shouldn't be equal. Infact it's a...

No that's not the point I'm making AT ALL.  There's levels of risk, and crafting is one of the lowest, and so should lag behind something that is higher risk/higher reward etc.

Come on, I did say in there that it's reliant on resources including the magazines - the point I'm making is that it's purely just time involved in that, not really much risk compared to questing.  It also sounds like in a lot of cases we're comparing MP to SP, I don't really play MP at all, so...

Yes I can see the comparison you're making there, but I would add to it, by saying that I do think the trader should be able to offer better things than you can craft - bear in mind, that you can craft whatever you want, whenever you like, dependant only really on your resources (which aren't...

From the way you've said this, you make it sound like you expect the trader to ONLY have items for your perk tree - like finding an iron spear made all your points in agility worthless, why does it?  You decided you wanted to use knives, not spears, so who cares what spear he has?  It hasn't...

Yeah this, so everyone will just do T1 quests all the time cos they're easy, whereas T5 quests you don't really get enough ammo back from what you spend out on already.  I think making each tier of quest longer than what it is would be a good start. But to go with what meganoth says, but in a...

Agreed on the average thing, it doesn't negate the point that traders should be able to sell you better things than you can build yourself, and questing like in all other types of questing games should offer you something you actually want and not just junk - look at all the discussions for...

Realism is part of the simulation of it though, we're "pretending" he's got his stock from somewhere, and not just magic, yes technically he didn't but still, in the story side of it, it makes some sort of sense.   Ok I did think this when typing out the timing bit, but 3 weeks is 21 hours, I'd...
