Nothing is finalized, but we're talking about a crafting skill for every item in the game. Associated books and schematics might add to it when read, and probably the introduction of "technical journals" or something you find and read to add to the skill. Higher intellect might give you +2 or something instead of +1. Something we can control in loot so players don't get too powerful too soon, (No spam crafting) and skill system to where its easier to craft a blue stone axe than a blue steel axe.

We're not. It's more like learn by looting lol.

No because you can put a land claim down, place your work benches use them, then pick them back up again. Still easy to be a nomad. With vehicles and drones to carry loot around I don't see a problem taking workbenches with you everywhere and setting up quick/temp anywhere.

Boy oh boy! Does this sound good or what?! I like the idea of using books and schematics to increase your skill level. Kind of like IRL, you read, you learn, you go do and get better. 
 

Thanks Pimps for working hard on this game. I absolutely love the new update. (P.s. Please don’t make us all wear the same outfits when the clothing/armor updates arrive.)

 

Happy HO-lidays, Pimps!!

If people want to make the best stone axe there ever was then by god let them.

 

...you can manage LBD by limiting it to say T3.

Well he says it's not coming back, but it is, and it sounds like it's going to be done right this time.  Learn By Doing, but for crafting only, which makes sense as long as that learning can't be applied across the board to other skills/perks/whatever.  😃

Is LBD really making a comeback? Exciting news if it is. On certain crafting items that is, like tools.
