Blueprints of tomorrow

(1/3) > >>

Lordus:
 After next wipe:

 1) My idea is, that every single craftable item needs blueprint or similar thing. Even basic knives, spears. Technicaly, we can name them bluepritns, but some of items could be in location, random or stable, accesible for everyone, not consumable (like native totems at a north, where lives tribes). Other could be found in random caves etc.

 So a) basic blueprints like current one (consumable)
 b) fixed blueprints: tribe totems (need to use outdoorsman skill to learn how to craft or use item 25-50 outdoorsman), computer (science skill, cca 25-50 science)

 The purpose is simple => to make longer period of post wipe, when players do not have resources, stuff, wealth in general. So players will fight with even basic weapons first.

 2) Make blueprints as a requirements to be able to use certain weapon (or armor, maybe even drug .. could be discussed). I.e.: if you want to use rocket launcher, you need to "consume" RL blueprint. Without this consumation, your build will get sanction (some negative value to percentage to hit, similar if you have lack of strenght)

 Why? Because players could loot rocket launcher and use it at lvl 5 of their chars to kill everyone.

 3) Make basic blueprints more easy to get.. not only 300 lockpick alts. I understand, that if you get a BP you can trade, you are something like BP hunter and you have to overcome more obstacles.. but 300 lockpick alts is nonsense.


 4) G.E.C.K. = "Garden of Eden Creation Kit" Should be needed item for every faction to create its own first!! base. (Dont forget that you can register your faction name before, so dont worry about stealing of faction names).
 
 Why? To avoid obligatory post wipe scenario: "Most powerful faction" = most numerous faction gets first base, capture every TC locations, harvest enormous stuff and caps, buys supermutants, drugs and absolutely block the gameplay for month or longer after wipe (same scenario as in current or previous sessions).

 GECK should be founded like any other random thing, like fuel cell controller. So you need a little luck. => Better chance for smaller, medium or big faction = every factions except the biggest one to for at least few days hold any TC city.

 Biggest factions will soon or later holds TC location again, but it will give a temporary chance (week, two or three) for other gangs. It could also motivate small gangs to try TC => more varienty in TC sides.

Skycast:
I think will be good if you can obtain blueprints from disassembling weapons with high sience skill, so for obtain bp for high tier stuff you can disassemble lots of it *_)

 Totems.

 Actually, tell me, if you are able without internet, wiki or some survival book, just from scratch, create spear that would be something more than knife on stick. I guess you dont. :P

ThePhoenix77:
So actual real life tribals have access to internet or survival books?
Mankind has been able to make spears for 1000's of years before books and internet existed. If you live in a primitive tribe then knowledge of such items is passed down through generations. Even in the fallout universe if some tribal discovered information on how to create such tools and passed that knowledge down through their tribe over generations then tribal X of generation 9 wouldn't have access to the original information as there wouldn't have been any need of that information since that knowledge was passed freely around the tribe so as such the information would no longer exist except in the tribal teachings.
It's like saying did you learn to walk, talk and read from a book or internet, no you were taught by your family and later progressed through teachings.
