That's a common weirdness of the design. Most of the percentage increases are additive, even the effect from mods and weapon quality. So, a quality 1 sniper will do, say, a 100 damage. They get +10% per quality level, so a Q6 will do 150% = 150. Add a max weapon skill to increase that by 50%...

The game has .. both. Miner69er boosts all "harvesting tool" block damage (axes, pickaxes, shovels) - be it on stone, iron, wood, dirt or any of the derivatives. Couple things gives specific buffs against Ores, which are the "natural, minable" resources like lead and shale. In the general 7dtd...

Works fine in my game: You sure you're testing on ore, not stone?

And you told me that I'm WRONG in my personal preference. If you expect me to take that at face value, then I don't know what to tell you. If you wanted to know why I dislike magazines, you could've asked, I'd have told you. Instead you told me I CAN'T dislike books, because LBD can be described...

What difference does it make who it was directed at? None. See how that leaves no room for interpretation? Expanding: Aimed at me: There's no difference between the two, so I can't hate one and like the other. But I do, so there obviously is a difference, I wouldn't be Able to hate just one...

If there's no difference, then I suppose you can't hate one and like the other.. neither can I? How is this even a discussion? Dear Commander Adama, you should well know that gravity wells are escapable; only the ones large enough to form black holes, aren't. Do you not?

I'm not even against recipe unlocks, but outside of books, there's Every reason to go out and loot crap. You find "doing the same thing over and over again" tedious/grindy; I find "looting a thousand magazines, again" preventing me from starting new playthroughs. I tried with 2.5. I played for a...

I have a big pile of dirt on my yard, and a little pile. I grab a handful of dirt from the big pile and toss it on the little one. My neighbor peeks over the fence and says to me "You don't Have to stand on the big pile." You're making as much sense as my imaginary neighbor. Magically...

Cool beans, I play games for fun. I'm not trying to stop people from spamming quests if that's what they like; I would like the game to be decently functional without. You don't like the things I do, that's great, champ. And I should care because..? Welp, tell that to madmole, he's planning...

Well, I don't need it. But let's say I want it. For me: 1) It'd be one rare thing that doesn't add to the quest loop gravity well. 2) It'd be way more compatible with leveling up in the wilds, organically. My favorite playthroughs have been building dwarven fortresses, starting on D1 and living...

More accurately it was "LBD will not change anything for some people and be bad for others".

You don't think Insane Difficulty, 30 min days (or 120 if you want the Long), Block Damage 300% gives a different impression of the horde nights compared to default settings? The default player might love his cobblestone cube -base, but the adjusted settings make it a completely pointless waste...

Because "mining at zero points" is worse that "mining at two points", then LBD = bad. I get it, you don't like early mining, or early scavenging, or early fighting, or early bartering, or early game in general ... that's the point of a progression system. The start is weak, to enable...

Eh. I have no illusion anything we chat about on here has any effect on the game. I'm happy if they manage to cut the tedium that is magazines, but I'm not pushing for anything. Just yapping.

Warrior (good for the first week, gets a little too easy later on) 60 min Minimum Jog (cba waiting for zeds I want to lure somewhere) Largely defaults otherwise No mods. I largely grind quests, make a couple improvised horde bases until I settle down in wasteland week 4 or 5. Play a couple...
