I just hope they don't remove all the unique tiers entirely and replace them with "Shovel", "Pickaxe", and "Axe".Max Q2 on stone is a bit rough to be fair. But I like the idea. Regardless of the path they choose, I hope they will address the "differences between tiers" that are way too thin like you stated.
Why over-complicate it when "tool" will do just fine?I just hope they don't remove all the unique tiers entirely and replace them with "Shovel", "Pickaxe", and "Axe".
Why separate tools from weapons? That is stretching things a little too thin. Why not unify all weapons and tools as one singular term? "Object" should suffice.
That sounds definitely interesting to have the world have some more regional variation, and a reason to travel further than the hometown, and have higher risk POIs.
Well... you could have 6 tiers without quality - stone, iron, steel, carbon fiber, power and legendaries at top. It would make things much easier to balance and would be simpler to understand. Each tier would need one less strike to harvest block - 4-3-2-1, power tools do it faster and legendaries have special effects like AoE.I just hope they don't remove all the unique tiers entirely and replace them with "Shovel", "Pickaxe", and "Axe".
Wait, to another experimental or to stable ? Just sneaked in steamdb and saw they keep add and test stuff. Which is promising and awesome
Ah, just started the stream and wanted to see the newbies.
Please no that would suck a lot lolI just hope they don't remove all the unique tiers entirely and replace them with "Shovel", "Pickaxe", and "Axe".
Hmmm I prefer Immolation
, Perhaps he meant "noisy" as in "attracts screamers"1. I agree utterly and completely.
2. I also disagree. Changeable sound options exist for a reason.No, not everyone has to use the auger, but one could always turn the game volume down to 0 and listen to a podcast or what have you. The main benefit of the auger for me anyway is without it I would have to mine every night - 5 stacks of stone? 4 stacks into 2 forges and the final stack as an ingredient for concrete mix, or I'll have to turn all of it into sand - and instead I can just mine for an entire night and have enough stone for a few days. But again, to each their own.
It isn't useless, when 2 hits leaves that annoying 1 or 2 health behind you can do a power attack every other hit and destroy the block on that 2nd hit.
They don't, only stone axe, hammer and nail gun repair.
I stopped mining stone directly. I only mine ore and use the leftover stone. I do mine those stone pallets though at POIs.1. I agree utterly and completely.

He is saying in the future you will be able to get higher GS based on the biome, and the tier of the POI you are taking on. So on day 1 you might see +20 to GS in the desert, +40 in the snow, and +60 in the wasteland. Another + 10-50 based on the POI you go into, with some kind of skull and crossbones icon treatment to let you know you are in a tougher area.
It isn't bad, but it doesn't benefit from any of the specific combat perks you get with clubs or sledgehammers and there is no book dedicated to it. If you actually max a weapon skill and get all the books for it there is no comparison. But if you want good utility, range and don't want to invest in a melee, carry a specific melee weapon but do want mining, then you can certainly get by with an axe and save the inventory space and perks for something else.
I've seen a steady flow of progression in my game. The only way to jump ahead is to craft or do quests. If you are just pure looting the progression is slow and steady. The rest will be that way by A20 hopefully.
Yup, this is the answer. It's better than the stone axe and it's better than most T1 weapons without skills but T2 weapons with skills quickly leave it behind and T3 is incredibly better than fireaxe. Is it useless? No. Is it viable when compared to dedicated melee weapons? Definitely not. I've killed plenty of things with the stone axe this update, it does the job too, I'm still going to switch to a proper weapon though for zed killing.
