SIMPLE missions in outpost

[azhockeynut]

So I started an outpost with a new character. Yes I do not mind the penalty for XP, it is supposed to be slow and casual for me.
What I did do, as soon as I could unlock it is add the SIMPLE missions. I thought, wow, fun added to outpost, the occasional reward etc.
well, they are a tad out of balance.
Since those missions can be unlocked fairly early in character progress, I am finding, "easy", "Medium" and "Hard" are quite far off.
I did an "Easy" hunt....20 large deer. That was fine, aside from the 10 bears, yes 10 I had to kill in the same area over the 3 in game days.

I did an "easy" downed drone, up no, two dozen worms, jaguars, etc. that did not go well with no armor and a bow and arrows

I did an "easy" tools, and it wanted things I had yet to unlock, had to wait to level up to unlock.

A medium crazed animal one, the bear kept running back and recharging his hp after he got down to 50%, no amount of cutting trees to block his path helped.

I generally use the perch method for fighting and even then it was not much use as he ran away and recharged. :(

C'est la vie

"Easy", in this game, is with in context of which tech is used from the tech tree to complete the mission.

If you try an "Easy" SIMPL3 mission with just bone you may have a "Hard" time...

An example:
When I tried the "Easy" downed drone mission I tried to do it with the Long bow, some arrows and brought a bolt action rifle with about 25 rounds.
I had no idea that so many hostile animals would show up! D:

My character was doing fine until the poison and Jaguar arrivals forced my character to abandon the mission.

After some forum reading and discussion; I retried the mission with better equipment.

I don't want to spoil it for you, but is was "Easy" after better preparation :)

sure but rifles and ammo are pretty far down the tech tree and therefore I would think they would not be needed for "easy" sure my lvl 60 guy with a ton of workshop gear handles these way too easy but yeah it does not make sense.
on a similar note I like the new ratings for "Missons" with lvl info and skulls. perhaps that will find it's way to these SIMPL3 missions
