game unplayable after patch - was fun while it lasted

[Shimizu]

Bit frustrated to say the least.
Since patching - sound effects seem to be completely broken
Since patching - repair costs have gone absolutely stupid - you damage your tool more getting stuff than the stuff is worth in dust.
I was willing to spend dozens of hours grinding rocks to build my base up and make it nice, but I'm not going to spend that time again picking grass to repair my pick, that's stupid.
And I've been reading some other fun and perplexing changes to end game stuff (not there yet) but now kinda not even motivated.

For all practical purposes, this is a single player game.

The forced-online thing didn't bother me so much until we get stupid changes to prevent "exploiters" and the inability to choose settings comfortable for our own playstyle. I absolutely refuse to spend hours grinding in a single player game to repair my damn tools. (or do corpse runs, or re-grind stuff lost to buggy companions disappearing, and so on).

I want to keep what I earn, I'm not interested in the one step forward, two-steps back crap.

I guess I'm done with this game until there is offline mode and mod support to turn off bs repair costs which make the game actually unplayable. As in, even if I converted 100% of my mining yield into dust I still couldn't repair my tools. I was willing to go get the (thousands) of rocks I needed to finish my base design. It was a relaxing bit of progression. But if I have to go spend 2 hrs picking grass for every 30 mins mining that's a dealbreaker.

Please put it back how it was - what is the value add of making repair a grind?

It makes the Aid quests worthless now also. Pretty much everything for repair is 10x what it should be

you do know you can disenchant T3 essence for Essence dust 500 of T3 gets you 1 million dust.

I'm not to Tier 3 yet. Just breaking into Tier 2 and have loads of stuff to use them for other than repairing.

If Tier 3 trivializes repair, then why not just make repair trivial?

There's just no sensible reason why it cost more to repair your tool than the value of what you got swinging that tool. I realize there's some sort of issue with repair all not working properly but even faffing around clicking them individually you make a loss. I want to focus on mining/building up my base not go gallavanting around solving music puzzles (which can't because sound broken atm lol) and clearing out monsters just so I can keep my pickaxe in repair. It was fine how it was.

breaking down other dust that i desperately need is not a solution. I don't have t3 yet either. It's stupid the way it's set now.

I have changed my review also until this is fixed.

Don't use repair all button, repair each item individually as needed.

I agree with you though, there should be a percentage based repair instead of a "flat tax"

Also, from another, identical thread:

"From what I have read from others and observed, Clicking Repair All, charges you full price to repair each item from 0 (broken) to fully repaired.

You can repair each item at a time when they break rather than at full cost even when it is 295/300."
