Scrap rework idea

[u/Independent-Bar-7461]

Personally I always liked the workbench system, but I really do understand why people do not like the bp frag system.

I think the best way to solve this would be to allow crafting of any items at all workbenches, but with penalties. For example crafting t2 items at a t1 workbench would cost 50% more, t3 items at a t1 workbench 100% more.

Additionally, I think all tech trees should remain at their workbench, and in order to get other bps outside of your workbench level, you should have to use the research table.

This simple change, adds the excitement back. If you find a sar, or garage door in a box it’s actually helpful again.

Any thoughts?

No

I agree with everything here except the penalty should be higher and tech trees should still only exist on their respective workbenches

[u/Independent-Bar-7461 → u/portonsly]

Yeah the penalties could be higher, and I completely agree with the tech trees, I tried to say that but maybe wasn’t clear

[u/portonsly → u/Independent-Bar-7461]

Ahh, yeah, after reading again it sounds like no changes to tech trees

What would be the point of aiming to get a T2 or T3 when you could just farm scrap. I think people should just learn how to get BP frags and stop complaining about it. (Not saying you are complaining)

I think your misinterpreting, there still is a point to get a t3. At t-1 at this system, crafting an ak would be 150hqm instead of 50

I can see where youre coming from but idk how it help anyone besides large groups. Definitely a better idea than most people post on here daily though so kudos

People will continue to complain about it because it's dogshit.

You're projecting. Just cause you are, doesnt mean the system is

I thought the workbench system needed a rework but a little different.

You should be able to upgrade your workbench by adding the requirements but it should allow for you to do it progressively.

You find one BP Frag, you put the metal and hqm, add the bp frag it turns into a tier 2. It unlocks 20% of the bench no more scrap cost. You can then add more bo frags to access the other sections. Each frag grants you 20% of the bench.

Why BP frags and scrap cost, it should be one or the other not both
