I have crafted 120 SS (still waiting for some, due the timer) and it took just 1,5 hour to gather 120 necessary
Xander Roots and
Broc FlowersBTW xander roots do spawn significantly less than brocs!!!
, then i went to buy 360
Biomed Gels (9000caps) and i have had enough empty
Empty Hypodermics. The last step was to collect 120
Chemical Components in toxic caves. THIS took me over 2 hours, non-stop running around collectin chems 2 by 2, shooting golden geckos...
Crafting itself is just fraction of whole process, in sum it took around 4 hours + 10k+ in caps.
This is much more time consuming than it ever was, i like all new carfting mechanics becouse those seem srly reasonable, but extend all sources (make spawn 2 barrels in toxic caves and waterworks, make biomed gels cost 10 or 15caps, empty hypodermics costs 5 caps each, also make spawn Xander Roots and Broc Flowers in same amounts becouse xander roots seems to be 3 times more rare.
NOTE: regular stim should be craftable ALSO with medical terminal
