Damn things keep spawning on the exit grid, is there a reasonable way to collect 1750 junk or is it just a 40 hour grind.

Do it with slave/merc.
1) Punch him to enter grid.
2) Use him as container.

But really doing it alone is damn boring, it's almost like leveling on crafting healing powders (btw now it's impossible? 0 xp?)

- Hunt for lumber and junk in the same encounters
- Make deals with newbies to outfit them with equipment for 80-100 junk.
- Don't go after insane base types?
- Look for junk when leveling / hunting for blueprints?

It took me something like three days to get the junk requirement for a depot. o_O Probably your best bet is to stockpile it when you don't need it.

just join some big faction and rape their base, thats how the pro's do it.

[falloutdude]

you know you could just not be cheap and buy some from others. saves you time and energy

It's ironic how we can get loads of iron ore, fruit and wood in a matter of seconds but junk is the most precious item in the wasteland.


There's should be 2 pieces of junk per thingy on the ground...

buy 2k junk for 20k its best way

[HertogJan]

Use a max. carry weight alt. They can carry 86 junk. Load it full a few times a day till you have enough.
If you have the caps it's faster to simply buy it from other players.

There could be some player friendly changes to junk gathering, like a fixed amount of 8-10 per encounter and back to picking up 2 at a time.

But really doing it alone is damn boring, it's almost like leveling on crafting healing powders (btw now it's impossible? 0 xp?)

Crafting weak healing powders gives 3 xp per powder. So it's not impossible, it just takes ages to collect flowers and make the powder. Especially since you can only make 1 at a time.

yeah if anyone has junk for sale msg me

[Castony]

I'm curious does someone really selling junk in such huge quantities? Or there just are some newbies that are selling small amounts to get their first caps?

I haven't seen any, I mean i don't collect junk because it takes forever and is boring as shit I can't see anyone else wanting to do it since pretty much everything you could trade it for is easier to acquire yourself.

Final solution by greenthumb:

1.Create new TB, non-combat, max CW,max PE alt:

ST  PE  EN  CH  IN    AG  LK

10 10 1 2 6 10 1

Optional traits: Fast metabolism, Good natured
Tagged Skill:Sneak,Doc,Outdoorsman
*Skills except outdoorsman are not very important, so u can choose Lockpick,Unarmed... .

2. Get level 3.

U need to get 3 000Xp, its like to craft 3 000 ammo, use outdoorsman...
Put all your skill points to Outdoorsman to get 100%
Choose Bonus Move Perk.

3.Establish Tent next to(in) location with city tile

U need 10 brahmins hides, this should be no trouble for you.
Choose location of city tile by urself, there is plenty of options, just see worldmap.
NPCs in encounter may be important to choose good city tile.

4. Last step is to start gathering Junk most effectively.

Just move next to your tent circle in city tile and reenter area as many times as you will need to fill your inventory. Stockpile it and repeat. Again and again.

Explanations:

Playing in at least 1024x768 is recommended to see all your sight range, obstacles do not prevent u to see items on floor, except its covered by texture of obstacles.

Max Strength is important to maximize your carry weight(CW).

Max Perception is important so maximize your sight range.

Playing in TB is important. With PE 10 u enter every hostile random encounter few hexes from exit grid, 10AP plus Bonus movement perk make you able to exit encounter in mostly 1 or 2 turns.

Good outdoorsman is an assumption to prevent most of random encounters while traveling on map, which reduce effecitivity of Junk gathering.

If this is not your first alt getting 3000Xp with non combat char or getting 10 hides should be no problem for you.

outdoorsman doesnt really help when you enter a location by yourself.
the window to choose if enter or not pops up AFTER you clinked to enter location

Thanks maciek,fixed a bit

[Roachor]

i'd take 6 end for strong back and I'd never do it in tb its way faster in rt.
