This is the one I use: https://github.com/unv-annihilator/7D2D_Mods/tree/main/RandomTraders I don't generally like using mods, but I do use two to randomize traders and allow larger cities to generate in all biomes.

I tested them together and Grandpa's Awesome Sauce does still stack with Sugar Butts, so if you managed to get some for cheap, they still have a use I guess. Still not worth crafting.

Grandpa's Awesome Sauce used to give +20% to barter, and that was awesome, but now it only gives +10% and that is not so awesome. Sugar Butts also give +10% and can fairly reliably be purchased from trader vending machines for 300 Dukes. However, Sugar Butts are actually better, because they...

There is only one kind of acid in this game, breaking it down into various other types of acid is pointless. That is incorrect. Cotton is not only used because it is readily available, it is also a very pure form of cellulose. Sawdust or other plant sources would need to be purified to remove...

Yes... and nitrocellulose is made by nitrating (with acid) cellulose (cotton fibers).

Yes, but it is clear from the coal and nitrate powder that what we are making is not smokeless powder, but black powder, minus the sulfur. Smokeless powder would need to be made with cotton and acid. ...Actually, that'd be interesting if you needed to make improved gunpowder as a prerequisite...

Hmm... that makes sense except that Armored Up magazines seem exceptionally rare now, far rarer than the numbers you provide would imply. I put a point into Medium Armor long before I even got out of Primitive Armor for the sole purpose of trying to get the magazines more often. At this point...

The problem is not making them, the problem is removing the old ones. They are a nuisance to disassemble since you have to destroy them twice.

It is all just up to RNG. Sometimes I find plenty of acid, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I find multiple beakers, sometimes I can't find any. Sometimes I can build a chem station the moment I unlock it with resources left over, sometimes I spend multiple trader cycles running all over the map...

Armored Up magazines seem to be quite rare now in experimental. Armor used to be one of the first skills I'd max without any points in an armor skill, now it seems like it is going to be one of the last even with an armor skill. So I have a question for the modding-inclined or whoever might...

Storms are ok, and I'll probably always keep them on, though I do have two issues with them. The first is that the storms hit too quickly. If you are between towns, 60 seconds isn't always enough time to make it to a POI, and having to rapidly construct a tiny shelter is possible, but also...

Not 100% certain without going in-game to verify, but I believe they are: White = Wilderness POI Red = Trader Cyan = Rural Green = Residential Blue = Commercial Yellow = Industrial Gray = Downtown

Yay! Those ones in particular have all annoyed me on multiple occasions and I am glad to see them go.

Whew. Those things had scary reach.

Then you are making the case that T6 on any item that isn't endgame is not worth crafting. Yes, that is what I am saying too. Legendary parts are too rare to spend them on any item that isn't endgame, so T6 is completely useless in most cases. I'll craft a T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 stone axe as I...
