Thats because item degradation is no longer a thing.   When it was, there was reason to keep looting/crafting because you knew eventually you'd need to replace gear.

And is enjoying the hell out of it!

Ironic, because a few minutes of research reading these message boards probably would've answered every question you had.   But I suspect you weren't really looking for an answer, you just wanted to make a point.  Well done.

Yeah? Not sure how that is relevant to you thinking something was real when it wasn't.   But carry on.

Lol, except it wasn't real info.... and he told you that later in the post.   

I doubt the change was intended to be overcome with skill or luck.  I would guess the change was intended to make you have to think about water.  In the old system, you didn't have to think about it at all.... you passively solved your early game water issues with barely a thought.   Now, its...

Yeah, people get so fixated on the game being in alpha for so long.... but I've been playing this game for 8+ years and 6k+ hours and if the game hadn't been constantly changing, I would've been bored of it a long time ago.   So the fact that its an alpha has extended my enjoyment of the game...

100% agree... well thought out plan.

But see, this is where thinking of magazines as skills actually make sense.   You do need to become skilled at something, like cooking, in order to craft more complicated things, like cheesecake.   You say you're already skilled enough to make cheesecake.... I'm curious what in the game...

An interesting thing to say.... this is one of the very large drawbacks of the magazine system.   The only way to improve your ability to craft is to loot.

Its all good, I very rarely play with mods.   None of this is really a deal breaker for me, I still find the game playable and fun.... I just think its interesting to talk about ways it could be, IMO, better. I appreciate hearing the other side, even if I don't agree with it. That said, if...
