I prefer to think of the schematic as a placeholder for some unique part that is needed for that gun. Something I wouldn't be able to make for myself with the tools I have available. Would it be more immersive if they used the parts instead of the schematic? Yes. Can I wrap my head around it and move on? Yes. Think of it like a kit with both instructions and parts. Sure, the instructions are still there when you're done, but you still need a new kit to get the parts for a new gun.

This is my take on it as well. And though I would love to see it change in the Vanilla game I am sure the mods will change the item to be what we have been talking about recently. A unique item that is more in line with gun making like a mold of some kind.
I have no issue with it staying a schematic though for the reasons you stated.
The firing pin. It’s 100% unique to every gun (afaik), so trade the weapon books out for firing pins? It’s not like we’d be able to make one of those on a workbench, lol. Not so sure about rocket launchers, but they must have some kind of firing mech too, so make that part the book’s replacement instead?

Afraid not, sorry. They can be swapped out easy peasy. I actually have 2 spares for my AR15 (in case one breaks during the zombie invasion of course)
As to the use of a schematic in making a gun....I look at it like this. When I want to make a specific meal I print of the recipe from my computer. When I'm done I throw it away (it probably has sauce all over it anyway, I'm a messy cook) So when I want to make it again I must "get" the recipe again. I do the same thing at work as an electronics tech when building something. I locate the electrical schematic, print it and discard it once the project is done.

I disagree. I would hate 7D2D to take a route where you just follow scheme X and people are only optimising their timeframe to get there. Some random element is not only more realistic, but also more immersive. Noone is gonna loot a pink mushroom house, if there is only ever the same loot in there. Having everyone walk on a designated path to a designated area ... well, that's the idea of PubG and adequate for a king of the hill type shooter game.
I love the fun I have in exploring and to have a scheme, where item X is only found near zed A or something like that is only going to spoil this experience in my opinion.
This is my personal feeling only, but RANDOM world gen also sets this game apart from other survival games and it also has more of a surprise component than pther peer games. I love it for this very reason, it is not entirely predictable.
Keep randomness alive

our engineer at work should do that. if you saw his desk you would back out slowly to avoid the inevitable landslide

I can fire pretty fast with a bow, just have to learn to lead the target.
I never bothered reading the comments.. I am laughing harder at those than I was at the video! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Here is how I practiced learning the drop, I am getting really good with the wooden bow.
Find a shoreline that is shallow then go in about 15 blocks & stack your frames about 5 high, leave them as Frames or not.
Now you can go back to the shore & practice from different distances & you can see your arrows land in the water & when you hit the Frame. Or go through depending on what you place but it is a good way to get your aim & drop down to a tee.
I have been getting these awesome shots on the fly chasing bucks around after I learned how much to elevate the bow.
