Workbenches are now upgradeable!
Workbenches have been reworked and now support upgrades.
There are 10 improvements ? available that significantly change everyday crafting:
-
Learning any item from the tech tree without progress (price ×2, 10% fail chance)
-
Crafting radius increased by 2 times
-
10% chance to get an extra item when mass crafting (except rockets and C4)
-
Clothing always has a minimum of 1 slot for plates
-
100% comfort near the workbench
-
Crafting speed +25%
-
20% chance to get 1-8 random components when crafting
-
Workbench durability +150%, reduced explosion damage
-
Cost of learning in the tech tree -20%
-
Chance to return 0-10% resources when crafting
This makes workbenches not just a "crafting box," but a key point of progression and economy in bases and on servers.
New trolling with traps in May ?
In May, a new level of trolling is coming:
You can attach grenades to tin can traps ?
Any type of grenade, including signaling ?, can be used.
Imagine my face if I trigger such a trap at the oil rig…
The trap remains silent and unnoticed, while the explosion will be much more unpleasant.
