There's no smoke without fire. There's a problem with that perk, as I explained.
I'm still thinking tying tool crafting(up until blue tier) to player progression like HP or Stamina is best in this case. Otherwise you got yourself a ♥♥♥♥eshow.
We are talking about 12 tools. 14 counting Auger and Chainsaw. Overpowered Perk much.
As everything it does is necesary for every player eventually, tying it to player level would feel organic.
Yas! I have another idea! why not put every weapon under advanced engineering? (joking)

LOL @ people who cry about bugs in an opt in experimental build...
Build seems pretty fun, still messing around with it.
I got the funny ati bug where the RWG creates giant radiators in the ground. I am waiting to see a woman inside singing "in heaven everything is fine", lel.
I noticed that it is more fun to spec into a weapon at the start. I tried pumping quality of life perks at first and it was not fun and I realized I was doing it wrong, heh.
Oh, I am sure it is already reported, but if you repair a tool or whatever and start punching with that belt slot, it will punch using the tool and punching speed for a number of seconds. Oh wait this is not the report thread, my bad.
Having fun with the build.

really loving fortitude build. think next play through I'm setting blood moon count at 4 and fist fighting the horde once i get the proper gear and perks to see if it's doable or I might do it for day 56 horde for this current play through.
also madmole wasn't kidding. once you get around level 20 and just focus on one tree like I did with fortitude you get kinda OP. not sure if it's the same for the other trees though.

One of our testers has low FPS in snow. He and I spent an hour today profiling it. Saw a few things bogging down the GPU (GTX 1080), but don't know why yet. I'm in the snow right now and neither a build or the editor are that slow for me. I have an RTX 2070, but we both have 8 GB VRAM.
Well at least you've got a situation you can delve into. So that's hopeful.
Also, for me, it happens in any biome except the city biome.
Edit: Also, some streamers indicated that the previous B134 ran much faster than B139. It's worth trying to run the older build on that testers rig and see if there's a difference. Might help

Stabby has low end hardware and she gets bad FPS. We knew her game ran bad. I looked at it weeks ago, but saw nothing that helped. Every other tester, that i know of, seemed to be fine. On the devs systems it seemed fine.Btw, it seems to me TFP need a more diverse testing testing group as far as hardware is concerned. Major performance issues like these should've been noticed (though not necessarily fixed) earlier in the testing process.

Thanks I'll have a look. Hidden strike is fixed already.@Madmole
You asked which perk descriptions were unclear. (probably since you wrote them)
(To be clear i know the answers to all the questions i pose below, just by looking through the XML's and just by having played this game a lot. Obviously this doesn't apply to a new player. These question's are formulated from the perspective of a new player)
-DeadEye description mentions 'rifles'. What are rifles exactly? Just the Sniper rifle and Hunting rifle? Or the assault rifle as well (the AK)?
When you look at the Perception attribute it only specifically lists sniper rifles. This adds to the confusion.
-To make things worse, in the Penetrator perk you start talking about a marksman rifle. Is that the same as a sniperrifle? A higher tier one?
-Strength attribute and Pummel Pete: What counts as a clubs? Are baseball bats clubs?
-Hidden Strike: The Level 1 description mentions knives. The other ones don't. What weapon does this apply to? Melee only? The way it's written seems to imply melee.
If listing all the specific items in the perk descriptions gets too out of hand, you might even consider adding a small section to the description of items which lists the perks that affect that specific item/weapon/tool.

I don't think many doctors can manufacture drugs nor pharmacists who can treat patients. You are looking at the abstract of how the player makes a medicated bandage, which is a magical device that cured people instantly and thinking its that simple. We look at aloe as the deserts natural bandages since there is no cotton to make bandages.
Its all about game mechanics abstracted loosely around reality, not realism.
