Make Dukes scrap to Brass

[Pwnlord]

They're certainly shiny enough, right?

Brass is one of the most precious things in 7Days. It's inherently rare and limited, available only in small amounts via looting.

What if you could choose between literal currency and the ability to defend yourself?

If Dukes scrap to Brass at 1-1, then you can have as much ammunition as you want...at the cost of not being able to buy anything.

Of course, this would require that brass casings cost less as not to cause feedback loops. Maybe make them worthless to sell, but expensive to buy?

Two days ago! Dreams come true! I do wonder if they already considered the balance issue you mentioned. We'll see!

We're not adding new features but we are still tweaking and balancing stuff, and will continue after release. We're adding smelting of dukes so late game that money always useful. The way it plays now I'd cringe smelting precious dukes but again, I never bought barter perks or only 1 rank to close the deal on a vehicle when I was short.

Do they not update the dev blog any more? Or do they only update it for major features?

Is there somewhere I can read about this that isn't a forum post?

The first post of the dev diary has been updated a few times and you can just search through dev posts for highlights and mostly-relevant posts. As far as not forums, uh... Joel's Twitter and Youtube and TFP Youtube has some stuff. That's what I've been using to fill the void of the unreleased Kraken.

Brass is not that rare.

-Brass comes from looting.

-30 minutes of banging on cars can get 500 brass from radiators.

Granted, If there's a server full of people, all the cars could be gone fairly quick..... But that just part of the game In my opinion.
