I wouldn't worry about it too much friend! There are over hundreds of the same loot containers, losing 20 max is no biggy, especially since POIs refresh over time. Obviously don't go breaking everything all the time, but don't be nervous about it if you need it!
I certainly thank you, and while I do use MODS, Our small group agreed to only use those that can add a missing feature or effects that enhance the current gameplay. Even in A19, Our hosted Game World only ran with a total of 8 Mods. Right now My A20 game world is using just 2 Mods. Of course if I can't get a crucible, or a chem station running to produce gasoline, its going to make using Bdubs Vehicle Mod a lot LESS attainable, since I need lots of steel, plus our group would need to have more gas supply ( can't make gas without a chem station) Normally if there is a lack of something needed to build a chem station, you could at least find one that worked "SOMEWHERE", but in A20 with all of the workstations having been disabled, if a player can't create one of the workstations, then they are simply S.O.L. which is another reason I am bristling about the increased rarity of acid.
Also, isn't it infuriating being able to craft things cheaper with the workstation of which you don't have!? It's a real subtle way of the game saying "eff you" to me. Though I'm normally able to buy one from a trader, but it's still gut punching.
I completely have that vibe too. making gunpowder for instance. Still using hand tools for mining, is much slower and gets less of a yield than with the auger, so I would love to be able to get that "efficient" creation of gunpowder from using the chem station too. And making antibiotics as well. I've only found 2 antibiotics in 40 days (but I have hunted down 6 honey (from tree stumps). This game World is just feeling..... held back, by the diminished quality of loot....and the reduced "quantity" of the location to find items. And no Workstations active unless I build them. So no workarounds until I do.
*chuckles* Sort of like telling Rapunzel, "hey no worries, SOME day you will get someone to climb up to the tower to rescue you" Hmmm, how many years went by before that happened? And seriously, its not like I am stopping the search, but it is a big change to My gameplay, and there is some frustration and aggravation to it. Ironically, it doesn't seem "a universal constant" as evidenced here:
In addition I have seen the posts from Others, where they share that their "fly in the ointment" is the sewing kits, now those, I have 14 of them in stock, and thats after I used some to craft some pocket mods to reduce encumbrance.. SO I know there "might be" *grin* some more acid somewhere in this world, but its doing a fine job of staying out of My hands.
