All I see at the top is some nonsense about a bomb wiping out everything (we all know it was Shamway that caused the apocalypse), "EPIC FAIL" (probably a rebranding of the Epic Games Store to the "Epic Fail Store"), an "Around The World" document (probably the front page of a travel magazine), and to the bottom right of that, what looks like a screaming SJW. 😛

I'm like 400 posts behind, but has anyone encountered this?



I can't modify my Wrench to get my mods off it, the "Modify" button is totally missing

I think it has something to do with me making a Workbench and it using a different wrench in my inventory, but it broke my actual wrench. I tried dropping it, equipping it, putting it in a box etc, but the wrench was FUBAR. Only way I got mods off it was by handing it to my friend and he was able to take the mods off after he equipped it

Did you try repairing it? It does look like a bug though.

BTW if MP players want to ruin the progression of their friends by giving them iron/steel tools, let them do it?

Progression isn't enjoyable when you've missed several sessions and are far behind your friends. Just give me that blue AK you were going to sell so I can use something other than my brown Hunting Rifle. Oh, and those shiny tools you don't need any more since you made an auger, thank you very much.

Hence why I don't do multiplayer, especially "unorganized multiplayer" (usually in the form of a server) where I log off for about a day and suddenly everyone is miles ahead of what we were before because there's always one or two people who play a lot more than others. Singleplayer for life, for me at least. 😛

Looks like the item has one too many possible options and can't display them all.

So as @hiemfire said, Repairing it to 100% should make the Repair UI option go away and make room for Modify to show.

Likewise in @MechanicalLens pic the wrench is already Equipped so that option isn't shown, so Modify is visible.

Just a guess.

 
Can confirm, having the wrench in your toolbelt removes the ability to see the modify option.

If you have it in your backpack, the "Equip" option replaces it.

 
Just looked at this is a18.4 there wasn't an "Equip" option in UI for either the Wrench or the Claw Hammer. There was for firearms, didn't look further.

If at 100% both items offered same options if in backpack or on toolbelt: Recipes, Scrap, Drop, Modify

If damaged then options were: Recipes, Repair, Scrap, Drop, Modify

I usually with my brother peer to peer coop, we only play when both if us are able to.   I know what you mean about servers, its not enjoyable for a variety of reasons.  
 

Just saying Multiplayer is a fun option if u have a partner and only play that saved game when both of you are on.

How does Blood moon and dying work again ? (day 14)

I died about 10 mins into BM re-spawned close on my bed but outside I found not a single zombie. I even went out way far from my base actually on a treasure quest (as you do - haha) whilst BM still was active but found no zombies anywhere to agro.

I don't know the exact rules, but if you really want more horde you can just relog in before 4am and it will start all over.

I think that has been reported. Log out and log in should fix it.

@madmole We've already figured out that the modify option doesn't show up unless the wrench is in the player's toolbelt. While in the backpack, the 5 options are, in no particular order, Scrap, Repair, Recipes, Equip, and Drop. While in the hotbar, "Equip" is replaced with "Modify"; someone said a few messages back that the claw hammer nor the wrench had the "Equip" option back in A18.

 
Yep, and just to be clear, there was no "Equip" option for Wrench/Claw-hammer, while they were in the Backpack, in a18.4.

Also noticed in a18.4 (can't speak to e19) that the "Repair" option only showed if the tool was repairable. So potentially confusing when Modify is accessible.

("Repair" just wasn't there at all if tool was 100%. Not like the "Scrap" option that is there but greyed out if mods are installed)

Can't think of any other items that may be in the same boat.. needs to be part of a Recipe, Moddable, Repairable and valid to Equip. May just be the two?

"Go to the freezer, get the box" ... "We're heeellpping!!"  <--- old Round Table pizza commercial :biggrin1:

 
Keep finding a set of loot in trash, occasionally. It's like 1 feather, 4 sand, m60 schematic, and don't recall what the 4th item is. On the first map I made it was the first trash I opened, and got it again within the first day. I've probably gotten it 5 or 6 times so far.

Just me?
