I think that's a great point that I don't think has been brought up that I never considered, the variance in the SP and MP experience of hunger/thirst. Unfortunately there's no realistic/logical way to scale food usage or hunger and thirst systems to tailor it so the challenge level is at the...

If you choose not to acknowledge the point that's your choice. It's not a complicated matter. And this is exactly what I meant about handwaving. It's a survival game. How one can argue that time isn't a factor in almost everything is beyond me as early game time pressure is a big deal in any...

Whether or not I'm actively tending to something doesn't obviate the point. If someone offers you 1 million dollars if you wait 50 years or 100 bucks now, which are you going to choose? Which one is more appealing? Which one has more value? What is the cost of making one choice over the other...

I've had quirky issues with the repulsor that knock them through walls so I stopped using it. After knocking out bulletproof glass in POI's because they glitched through it due to repulsor the third time I just took the thing off. It depends on base design but I usually section off my fences and...

I mean, I get that the time to plant isn't significant, which is why it was explicitly spelled out. But when looking at the statements I made and my comment about it taking time, are you going to look at the two values of time I could have been talking about, the mere seconds to plant, or the 2...

Don't forget the trader :p But seriously, I'd estimate I get a solid 1/3 of my loot from trader rewards. More if you perk out DA. The actual items on the trader are generally poor quality so they aren't meaningful to me in most playthroughs. 

The value of ammo in loot rooms increases if ammo is more scarce. As it stands running a T5 and ending up with 2k+ 9mm ammo when I'm using an SMG to kill things is ridiculous, let alone the many other stacks of ammo that I just ignore or throw away. One thing it made clear to me is the base...

I don't understand the point you're trying to make here. It's 2 game days or 3 for shrooms. Granted I don't do a lot of farming so that's what I thought the values were. That's what I was referring to. Disregard any changed settings as that's optional alterations people make akin to using...

There's nothing wrong with talking about effective values. One can't simply use the largest possible number one could get under limited circumstances to describe the general effectiveness of the perk though which is what I took issue with. And the way we were speaking about it was the relative...

It's not free. It's time, farming effort that I'll agree is minimal to make the plots. And it takes an inventory slot that is precious early game. For ~3 corn or potatoes or whatever, which the combined yield is worth less than most single cans that can be utilized immediately. To make it into...

What advantage? It's not more precise because the value varies. To be accurate you have to give 3 different numbers and estimate how much each part makes up the whole and it's going to vary over gameplay based on the player and how quickly they invest in the perk. Because of that it's a far less...

It was the first T5 POI I went into after A20 and it was a mess. Now though I run into the area, trigger the zombies, then run back a ways. I leave myself fallback points for when I need to reload as there are so many damn irradiated in there they can easily swarm me while mid reload. This...

Once you get to the roof on one of the far sides is a metal rail staircase that goes down on the building exterior. Then you have to hop over the rail onto a tiny ledge that goes around the building to a broken window that opens into the elevator shaft. From there you climb a ladder down to the...

That's odd, I think it's the easiest tier 5. The path seemed rather straight forward to me. It does have several locations with a ton of z's, but all the tier 5's seem to have that. The biggest difference to me is that instead of many small clusters of z's there are a couple rather large areas...

Okay, so all of this back and forth was predicated on the desire for me to write about the skill using the bigger number because you feel it's the 'right' way to speak about the bonus of the skill, even though the game describes it that way and it's mathematically accurate to simply say 25%...
