Now granted I always travel with lockpicks but if I did a treasure and then had to bust that thing open with a stone axe I'd be pissed. A treasure with 7000 HP giving you 6000 dukes. Seems an excellent deal to me even with a stone axe. Try finding a 2500 HP safe with a content that gives 2000 dukes in the first days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using q6 stone axe and shovel just fine. Each new quality level was an upgrade I was happy to get and put more and more mods into them as they got more slots. When the q1 iron stuff started dropping I trashed them. My stone q6s with mods were better. Yeah I just found a q6 stone shovel that does more damage than my T3 iron shovel I just crafted so I'll sell it and have more mod slots. 1 hour ago, Bird Nerd said: Start working as soon as you can, I say.

I hope this doesn't go that direction 😰 Feels like every game with abilities is pretty heavily immersion breaking. I enjoy immersing myself in 7D2D. Does wasteland still give bonus exp to play in?

At your age, that would have been before the invention of sidewalks, paper, and I think corn as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faatal Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 15 hours ago, beHypE said: I've noticed I lose a tremendous amount of FPS when I crank up Terrain Quality. I have pretty much everything at max/ultra, but terrain quality on low, and have a beautiful game with a steady 60 FPS. If I set terrain quality to medium, I instantly drop to around 30 FPS. The difference is like night and day and quite frankly I don't even see a huge difference in quality, if any. Highly advise you guys to set max quality everywhere, terrain quality on low and then reduce stuff as needed. I kept tinkering with medium settings everywhere and it was just not making much of a difference at all, until I figured out the bottleneck. I'm running a Sapphire Radeon 5600XT on a Ryzen 5 1600 and 16gb of RAM fwiw. I've spent the last 3 work days looking at VRAM usage and changing entities and block entities to load on demand and block entities can unload now. VRAM use is down 1 to 3 GB depending on your settings, so I'm hoping this will help in general. If you run out of VRAM and terrain textures end up in system RAM, then terrain can render very slow. The higher your texture filter settings, the slower it gets reading textures from system RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. This just effects entities (animals, zombies, traders) and block entities (the 900+ blocks that use their own model like trees). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 1977 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 14 hours ago, madmole said: I never once questioned the best rpgs of all time when looting. I diablo I got what I got. Same in Skyrim, Fallout, etc. I opened up a loot container and got something a little better and I was happy about it. You just aren't used to it. Once we get pipe guns and a bit more supplies to craft your own things it might feel less repetitive which I think is the larger problem. We will have game staged increases in the harder biomes you can go there to get non primitive loot early game but it will be a lot harder. Its fine mate. These complainers are just upset that you can't power loot anymore. Im loving earning items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But pockets make it so you don't need pack mule. Yeah, I was thinking that the "new" Pack Mule won't give you additional slots anymore, but will give you a fixed bonus (per level) on how "deep" the pockets you craft are. So for example, something like this: At Lvl1 you get the Single Pocket for clothing mod (so you won't get this mod from the start anymore) At Lvl2 you get the Single Pocket for armor mod + the Double Pocket for clothing mod AND a +1 bonus slot for each pocket At Lvl3 you get the Double Pocket for armor mod AND a +2 bonus slot for each pocket you have At Lvl4 you learn to craft the Bandolier mod AND a +3 bonus for all your pockets This way the "value" of the pockets you craft will grow alongside your Pack Mule skill and make it more useful IMO. It's the same concept you already use for Weapon perks actually, where you get both a bonus AND the crafting recipes with the perk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 All doable but then Pack Mule is the new must-have perk because you'd _need_ it in addition to all the pocket mods. If it also unlocks all the mods it's only more OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pregnable Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Yeah, just having more good mods than what will fit in T6 armor would keep pack mule from becoming obsolete. Then you could equip extra useful mods in the place of the pocket mods that you no longer need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
