ALL VENDORS FROM ALL FACTIONS SHARE CAPS?????

[oo00RAVEN00oo]

BUT WHY?!?!? caps as a currency is finite. You'll get to the point where you can produce more ammo than you can store, leaving only basic plans/recipes. WHY CAP CAPS??? Bullion i get, legendary cores/modules i get, I obviously don't get CAPPING CAPS??

Its a design decision to make us play longer. Seems obvious. I would have done the same thing if I were sat on the design committee.

Its a game design choice.

You may not believe it, but it could be worse.

When the game dropped it was:

A. Each vendor faction had it’s own cap pool.
B. Each faction cap pool was 200 caps.
C. Whitespring only had the Whitespring pool. The mall did not have responder, BoS, Free States, vendors.
D. You had to visit 7 different locations on the map to get every factions caps.


So, the current pool isn’t that bad.

Everyone should get 1,000,000 caps when starting--see you when you get to my camp and ask "why I am selling water for 1000 caps". And "Why is that Office Water Cooler Plan 900,000 caps".

Capping caps are not the problem, the problem you will face if you continue playing is when you will buy all plans and recipes npc's have in stock, when you arrive you will change your idea.

Just wait till they get to the point where there is nothing productive left to buy so they just buy random junk that they don’t need.

What the other players said is accurate. My two cents is that the focus of the game is playing it, making the things go splodey/splat, and soaring through the air on a jet pack while leaving a trail of mini-nuke mushroom clouds in your wake - not about getting wealthy in apocalyptic game environs.

Its so there is only one set of numbers to keep track of per player, instead of everything having their own number to keep track of. It cuts down on the amount of information needed to be stored, and on the timers needing to be tracked.

1 number for vendor caps. 1 for scrip cap, 1 timer for food growth, 1 timer for water production. 1 stash per player (though Fallout 1st does add 2 more).

[LatetotheParty]

Surely the cap limit isn't the reason to keep player numbers.

More content is.

But bro if you don't cap the cap then how many caps until you can't cap the cap no more and just endlessly grinding for the cap for caps you used to get for less caps?

:-P

[oo00RAVEN00oo]

Wow, thankyou for all your responses. Clearly there is a rift between all users as to what caps should be, what people think should be, what was, and even cold be.

The caps that should, represent the caps that should DON't, represent the caps that should represent the amount that should = that amount of caps capped by the algorithm mentioned up a bove, how many times many divided by the time times that what does =??
