You rascal...
1) This is the lie (mostly because I want it to be and if it was the truth you would know you would be adding fuel to the dumping down fire, which you would probably not do even if it was true and it has the greatest shocking factor which makes it... blabla).
2) Forge will definitely not depend on a recipe... but if it's slightly different and 1) is true, it could be that they replaced tool slots for recipes, which would not have much of a point(?). So it's probably one of the perk books improving crafting or smth?
3) I think this is too random to have been made up. Will they be throwable?
certainly tape is one of the cornerstone basic mats but I have never ran into a lack of bones at any point and I solve my cloth problem for my entire play through by day 2 - one military base will supply you with cloth for the entire game. Mech parts are insanely common as well.

It makes a difference whether you are a single player or a group. You have to keep in mind that these players have to share the resources.
Since zombies are no longer a source of bones, you have to be very methodical to get enough bones / glue / tape for a larger group. This includes utilizing the respawn and visiting POIs once a week that are known to contain a larger number of animals. For example the Doggos and "Carl's Corns and Bob's Boars".

Im A16 I could level up mining without ever digging a hole or using any mining tool...just sayin. Level up, put points in mining and miner 69er... wasnt that hard.
In A16, the miner 69er skill was the source of 99.9 percent of mining improvement if the improvement and u got that point to spend by doing whatever
No, it's not hate, it is just campaigning for the game you want by crying louder than everyone else. What's a wrong turn to one player is often the best change to another. There is no "We", there is mostly just personal tastes.
Case in point. I feel exactly the opposite: A17 is the first alpha I'm interested in building elaborate horde bases, exactly because one needs to think about base design instead of simply putting big walls around. How anyone can say horde base building got dumped down is beyond me. Maybe it is because in A16 you didn't use the obvious exploits because they were TOO exploity and in A17 you are using them and feel betrayed by the game.
Exactly. That describes A16 to the tee, even more so as the zombies brought xp AND loot.
Seriously I'm in a co-op game and I'm about 25 levels below one of my co-op players and I don't care. They remind me sometimes and jokingly say they need to order me to mining labor to keep up with them.
I'm actually playing the game...exploring... finding mods and resources.... The only thing where I agree with you is that there isn't enough to find, but that deficiency was a known limitation of A17 because of limited developer time.

What I like about the Fallout 4 perk system: many perks can be acquired from the beginning/ relatively fast, by putting specific points into the SPECIAL system. But this is balanced out by then not meeting the requirements for other perks wich are then effectively locked for quite some time.
So the user must actually decide on a gameplay role at the beginning, and can then specialize or branch out to get more variety in the perks.

I feel like there's too much emphasis on progression in the game right now. It should be a survival game first and a stat-boosting simulator second. If there are ways the player can make themselves stronger, increasing their survival chance, that's fine. However, if the ultimate goal of the game is to become as strong as possible in the shortest amount of time, and players choose to decrease their survival chance in order to become stronger faster, then that's an issue.
Can you truly be role-playing as a survivor if survival isn't your main goal?

We're not getting rid of crucibles, but we might add mods to enhance workstations as well. Some gates, some mods. Not all gates like now. You'll get a forge and be able to do most anything slowly. With mods you will make less heat, smelt faster, and unlock steel with a crucible.
