I was just watching Kage's latest video and... how long have we been able to scrap things in workbenches...?

since forever for what i know, u just have to scrap while in the workbenches inventory

That's... good to know. I only play this game basically everyday, how would I know?

lol i rarely do it, im so used to scrapping in my inventory, i never think about doing it actually

Yeah, but it'll save time if I want to scrap some low end batteries or a couple thousand old cash for some paper.

 

[pregnable]

I still kinda like the idea of from the shadows giving an exp bonus for sneak attack kills. 

Then I might actually try agility first instead of going miner first like I always do, heh.

agreed, i usually build 2 or 3 workbenches and i only ever use 1 haha, downfalls to adhd. i honestly wouldn't mind a machine in the game we can craft that we put scrappable items into and it will scrap them for 100% of the stuff, could be late tier too

im doing that on my channel right now, limited build where im only allowed to use knives, pistols and bows, its going well and i wish i had perked a little more into mining first but im doing well all things considered, plus 50% loot abundance for a little bit more of a challenge

If I get back to my workbenches to scrap, I'll usually put it in the to be melted in the forge.  Hmmm, I wonder if I can smelt batteries for their lead....  I know I can smelt radiators for brass.

you can for full lead back, i cant remember the amount but you totally can smelt batteries

Good to know, I was afraid in the pursuit of realism they (TFP), might make the batteries explode.

not gonna lie, if they did it would make sense lol

Yeah, I always want to skip strength and go wrench instead, but it is hard not having that extra clay, stone and wood gathering. 

I might try just my perception intel build again, but start 3/3 miner/motherload... or maybe just 3 motherload, then go wrench right away. 

A good steel spear I found is making me rethink using a melee horde base again, with melee turrets heh...

Some will be very similar to the original like the screamer and fat cop. Spider looks a little more monstrous now and slightly mutated. The screamer has more of a witch look to her and her mouth hinges very wide and has a glasgow smile and rows of sharp teeth, black eyes, etc. There is a radiated zombie with tumors all over his back like the hump back of notre dame almost and he can tear one off and throw it at players causing radiation damage and several others we can reveal as they progress. We are still working on visual design though so things can change some as we work through the iterations.

All those sound great except the screamer. It just sounds like something out of a different game.

The fat hawaiian shirt guy will be like pig pen and have a cloud of toxic gas that causes asphyxiation. No more spoilers for a while

Sounds good too. The design looks dope.

and cause DOT to structures probably.

What's DOT?

Damage Over Time

Damage Over Time

i admit, bleeding damage on weapons and armor would be a game changer DOT and AOE stuff is awesome to learn how to avoid

Well, to be honest we already have the bile pools the cop leaves on the ground after puking, and AFAIK they do DOT.

Damage Over Time

Ah, DoTs, that almost, almost. Makes regret quitting WoW and my high level warlock.  But it doesn't.  I still love DoTs but only when I'm putting them out. 

 

[Phoenixshade35]

Area of Effect - Explosions and Molotovs have this already

 

[Phoenixshade35]

My favorite thing to happen during my new playthrough challenge lol the ragdoll is amazing and the bone knife is no joke

Never played WoW, to be honest I hate MMORPGs and on-line gaming in general so I can't get your reference, sorry.  hwell:
