PC Repair kits require 5 mech parts instead of 1 forged iron now? Really?

Hey madmole.
I'm unable to replicate those results.
I tried harvesting wall safes and gun safes (after breaking them open first).
I tried with a pickaxe, auger and a wrench, with and without 5/5 salvage operations, and at best I'm getting 1-2 forged iron, 2-3 springs and 4-5 mechanical parts.
Definitely not worth the time to go through 2500hp and i'm not getting forged steel.
Am I missing something here?

Well the Steel is there.
Code:
<block name="cntMunitionsBox"> <!-- military ammo -->
<property name="Class" value="Loot"/>
<property name="Material" value="Mmetal"/>
<property name="StabilitySupport" value="false"/> <!-- build restriction -->
<property name="Shape" value="Ext3dModel"/> <property name="Texture" value="293"/>
<property name="Mesh" value="models"/>
<property name="Model" value="LootContainers/munitions_box01" param1="main_mesh"/>
<property name="Place" value="TowardsPlacer"/>
<property name="ImposterExchange" value="imposterHalf" param1="112"/>
<property name="IsTerrainDecoration" value="true"/>
<property name="LootList" value="40"/>
<drop event="Harvest" name="resourceForgedIron" count="2,4" prob="1" tag="allHarvest"/>
[color="#FF8C00"] <drop event="Harvest" name="resourceForgedSteel" count="2,4" prob="0.5" tag="allHarvest"/>[/color]
<drop event="Harvest" name="resourceScrapIron" count="30" prob="1" tag="allHarvest"/>
<drop event="Destroy" count="0"/>
<property name="EconomicValue" value="250"/> <!-- disassemble value -->
<property name="FilterTags" value="floot"/>
</block>That IS a lot to go through for a chance at forged steel.
Better to try Pole Tops.
[back yard of some Gas Stations or at the top of poles in wasteland.]
Lots of other places too.
Just... not these Ammo boxes.
I'm with you, they aren't worth it.

Maybe...but just watch what happens when it goes stable and all the rest of the players get it for the first time. To them it will feel like a well planned, designed, and thought out release since they will have missed all the drama and since it will probably take a couple weeks for 17.1 (unless a big problem comes up and they need to do a hotfix) there won't be the feeling of quickly shifting changes that are all part and parcel to the whole experimental gig.
And we'll just roll our eyes and SMH as rehashes of the first week threads all repeat themselves from brand new people (including those who are upset that their A16 save got messed up by A17)
True enough. I just felt like once I got over the initial shock of how massive a change A17 was, and adjusting to it, that it was all pretty good stuff that just needed some tweaking, balancing and bugfixing. Not being flung from side to side and up and down every other day, which is what it seems like now.Maybe...but just watch what happens when it goes stable and all the rest of the players get it for the first time.

And yes, we don't really need tons of repair kits, all those guns we can't sell anyway turn into mechanical parts (unless that's been changed too
), so it's not a big deal I guess.

Harvest this, harvest that. On a multiplayer server once you've harvested the world, what's left for the next player?
I know you play Empyrion, and currently the quest system regenerates POIs when activated, but is there a possibility (like in Empyrion) of having a time based mechanic that could reset certain POIs (either set in their xml file or a tag read by a global value in the game). That way we could have a certain POI regenerate itself based on a respawn value. Could help keep a city fresh for multiplayer and availability of harvestable items/blocks.

You're crying about something that's considerably easier?
Unreal.
Mechanical parts are super easy to get - no crafting required.
The only challenging part to me about repair kits is the tape since you need metric arseloads of glue and/or tape for a lot of crafting. Bones > glue > tape are one of the few precious resources, IMO. You easily drown in everything else if you actually play the game and cry less.

Are you talking about ACTUAL grey weapons? or the Quality Level 1 brown?
Grey weapons/tools are bug items made by logging out while crafting them. You can attack with a grey stone axe forever, but you can't use it to repair. You could also have a grey Steel Pickaxe that you could use forever but no mod slots.

You'll go take lots of quests. The POI resets and you harvest it all, almost like Empyrion?
