Just want to weigh in,
Keep mods they are great! Keep no gun parts I hate gun parts.
But don't make full out gun crafting. Instead just keep guns a buy/find commodity.
If you want some crafting make the new gun cannibalize an old one.
Examples
tier 2 pistol requires a tier 1 pistol 20 plastic and 20 mechanic parts and 2 forged steel
tier 3 pistol requires a tier 2 pistol 30 plastic and 30 mechanic parts and 3 forged steel
tier 4 pistol requires a tier 3 pistol 40 plastic and 40 mechanic parts 4 forged steel

Funnily enough that's a concept brought over from console if i'm not mistaken.Lol...just goes to show that EVERY change will disappoint someone.
EDIT: Just tried it out and it is very responsive. Move forward with w and just tap shift and you start running. As soon as you stop pressing w you return to walking. So it is not a toggle in the sense that you have to press it once to start running and then again to walk. You just press shift to start running and then when you stop moving forward you stop running. It is very intuitive. You can keep your finger on shift the whole time if you want the same feel as before.

Will this fix the gun model from leaving your hand ie like when holding a shotgun sometimes your hand would wander off and you would have to switch to a tool then back to the gun to fix it, albeit a temporary fix

The game used to have gun crafting and I found it quite fun. Never stopped me from exploring. Hard for me to believe that guns are the line people don’t want to cross in terms of unrealistic crafting. This isn’t new territory. The game was extremely enjoyable (for me) back when guns could be crafted......with molds.....on a forge.
Besides, the search for mods will be a major driving factor for exploration because customizing your gun will be very motivational.

I have mix feeling for gun crafting, I am playing WOTW mod which allow gun crafting even now (well parts). we can craft and sell them and earn lot of coins, exploring for gun is not needed after a stage. So, though it give good amount of supply, it take exploring part out. Though yes since mods (as seems) cannot be crafted. It will be good to have guns been craftable.

Like i said....you cant just "craft a Gun"
but you can Assemble one
you need Specific machinery to do it....
I will always mod that out and make Guns Buy/Sell/Loot only..thats just me
ok correction...you can build a "zip gun"
its really popular in 3rd world countrys

There's a easy way out of this "line".
Add a [on] [of] option on gun crafting. In fact there are mods out there that make gun crafting really hard and you can only mostly obtain it from exploring.
Honestly for me they should only deal with gun crafting stuff when they actually define the line between early - mid - end game content. Everything should be a option. This way people can really customize the way they wanna play the game.
My idea for :
Early game content = guns should be extreme rare or never sapwn. Same goes for bullets. first week or two for example should be most focused on swords,pikes,bows,xbows and handmade traps. People should be exploring and not finding a pistol and 532989 ammo on day 1. Guns and ammo blueprint should be locked.
Mid game : Guns can be found now and same for bullets. Still cant be crafted since guns and blueprint should be still locked. this should be the transition from early game and end game. In this part people should be still exploring, leveling up, learning things. week 3 or 4.
end game : guns can be crafted and same as bullets. Advanced things like crafting bikes,cars or anything military grade for example should only be allowed on this part of the game. For example a after 4 or 5 weeks.
Only speaking for myself:
Not about the searching or exploring, Its about believe ability in this games world. The game is telling us, that everyone has a highly advanced grade education. Even in a fantasy world, it needs the "something" to quantify why everyone is capable of doing this.
A progression of learning and growing for the player to be able to do this is (imo) a good way to go without collapsing the games world (for me). I'm not saying TFP need to do this "Its their game" ofc. It's nothing more or less just a suggestion based on how I look at it and would like to see it play out. Could be good, could be bad. Some things need to be sacrificed for game play, Fully agree! I just don't think this is one of those areas.
