Infinite Repair Putty

[Mina]

So, I found an exploit. If you right click to drop a repair putty right as it splashes onto the part you want to repair, it will drop it and not consume the putty and still repair the item. Try it out!

That kinda just removes the challenge from the game though...

Well you're better off recycling damaged car parts up to steel and making new panels and doors. You pretty much get a 99% return on a steel door/panel to replace the damaged panel/door.

It's a bit wonky to say the least. Also repair putty is hella expensive because of the rarity of chemicals and even then the blowtorch is so late game and requires so much it seems a bit... poorly balanced. I'd be game for them fixing this exploit while lowering chemical requirements of putty to 1x instead of 2x.

• Thing is, repair putty is expensive *on purpose*, because there are cheaper and better means to do repairs down the line. Some that are literally free except for time.
  
  
• Also if you don't have any putty at all, Friendly Dumpster gives you some.
  
  
• Also you can just turn on an option when you return from warping that insta-repairs your car.

So, yeah, okay, this is a little broken and it's a clever discovery, but if you use that, you may as well just turn on the free repairs and save yourself the clicking.

I'd take them just making chemicals a little more common, it's rare I come back with more than 3 or 4.. or make it a craftable component.

I would like to see more chemicals... that and plasma seem to be my biggest issue most of time.

Just turn off car damage then...

Yea don't repair in the shop, recycle your parts and make new stuff. I was just mentioning an exploit i found. Take it or leave it. I'm well past the point it matters for me.

Chemicals are found often if you look in the mobile labs. They're in the mesh door cabinets. I havent had any issue with them being a rarity.

Yeah you just have to go do a farming run when getting low on things, I did it once for chems and once for plasma. Everything else I've grabbed on the way to missions.

On the route planner look for high building population and then look for the plasma symbol on the planner too, you don't even need to go far to farm for those two items. Happy hunting.

I know, I try to make sure to hit those when I see them.. they're generic like everything else, they could easily be "under the kitchen sink" chemicals or "laboratory" grade, I don't think adding them to the loot table outside of those wouldn't be awful, even at a reduced percentage compared to the other materials just to open the bottleneck up a little bit.

Cool exploit btw, wonder if there is an achievement for completing the game quickly, that would sure help lmao

Not really needed though, i ran out because at the start of the game i was wasting them instead of making new steel parts, if you check the friendly dumpster he has a good chance to drop them and the putty itself when your car is damaged.
