Yeah but I typically find 1-2 crack a books my entire game, so it might be ok.. makes you WANT to go in there. I will pay attention next time though to see if it feels too OP.

What is weird is 2 games ago I found lots of pumpkin seeds, and this game I have found 2 already, but my previous game I found 0, and I love my pumpkin cheesecake for the 5% discount and it is my favorite desert I craft 2x a year IRL.

Need to confirm through a full playthrough but there are just so many loot containers that have chance at schematics.  So when have more book POIs PLUS all those other loot containers in other POIs, it can get OP pretty quick.  This is a tough one, its very subjective and obviously RNG.  Balancing fun vs progression vs SP vs COOP vs MP is no fun task...glad its not my job lol...

Edit:  Maybe this is where the loot abundance setting comes into play.  I normally play 100% but have heard in the past sometimes anything lower is sometimes too drastic...

Day 13, and I crafted my motorcycle. Acid was holding me back I finally found some medical containers and got the two I needed for two wheels. Makes me think 2 acid per wheel would be a bit better, what do you guys think?

Day 9 and I can craft a motorcycle right now if I wished, although I won't due to a lack of petrol.

2 acid sounds fair. To be fair though, I haven't crafted any tires in A19; I've found all of mine (6 total) in cars.

Yeah to be fair that's true and possibly good to have a lot in there for co op MP. I suppose m60, sniper rifle, millitary armor, gyro accessories, crucible, iron tools, baseball bat, half a dozen mods and lota of several book series was a knee jerk reaction to needs a nerf if they're rare

Speaking of pumpkin cheese cake, grain alcohol?! Eww lmao. I know it's for balance reasons though.

Leveled books are coming so you guys won't be finding crucibles or tier 3 schematics on day 1, that should help a bit with the "game over" feeling when you totally luck out, and we can weed out the "1 pocket" stuff or diminish its chance a bit later game so you have a better chance of getting something good since there is a less chance of getting something crappy ish.

Will take another look...I know there is a book that gives you more acid.  Wasteland treasures...Also, do acid barrels give acid now?

Is there gamesparks data for what players are looting now?  That might tell the devs more objectively if things like acid are too rare or too common...

 
Made a new RWG today.  Trader was literally across the street from where I spawned in.  These distances are gonna be exhausting.

237 and 330 are exhausting?  You guys need to grow a pair of nads.   Do you want the quests inside the trader outpost?

ahhh maybe I missed the joke, thankfully, I was worried there for a minute, thanks Redneck.

I do believe he was joking, and teasing those that complained about quest distances.... 

I don'y believe I've seen all 5 be under 1.1km before, usually see only 2 in that bracket

I'm at day 5 and have 10 acids in my camp so it would not really make a difference but 2 sounds better to me. One shouldn't have a motorcycle before day 30 if you ask me.

 
Anyone not playing A19 until stable like me?  I ran it a little bit to see the graphics and look at a few RWG maps.  I like to wait, I dont rush it, I go in slowly.. Make sure I feel every inch, once I cant take it anymore just go right in all the way, hold it, take a break, continue.  I guess in summary the build up to stable is more fun than playing experimental for me.
