Requiring Tools for Weapons

[tonyacook]

Why have all the high end weapons require Tools but only allow us to get 8 tools (so far)? That is barely enough to make 1 of each item.

I know I'm playing this like a long-term sandbox survival which prob isn't meant to be the way its played but I like to search everywhere, make everything, and experience it all. I'm on day 499.

My survival tasks want me to make an iron crossbow and a musketon (which I don't even want to use) but I feel I need to make them to "complete" the game. If I disassemble them, I do not get my Tools back. That is disappointing. At the very least, the items that require tools shouldn't lose durability so there won't be a need to make multiple of them, eventually. Or give the tools back if you decide you don't like the weapon would be even better.

I still need to make 2-3 items and I only have 1 set of tools left. How can I decide which weapon I prefer if I can't make and test them all out?!

This is my biggest issue with this game so far.

When disassembling, you ALWAYS get the tools back.

Are you sure because when I disassembled the crossbow, I did not get my tools back so I reloaded the save. Could mine be a bug?

I made one of everything that required tools to test and I was able to get my tools back each time I disassembled the items. I’m not sure why the crossbow didn’t work the first time, but maybe it was a bug or some thing. It’s been awhile since I tried it. Thank you for letting me know!

Hey there! It was a bug, we fixed it about 5-6 months ago.

The developers have already replied that it was a bug.

By the way, what exactly do you lack tools for?
A total of 8 tools. 1- musket, 1- rifle, 1- iron crossbow, 1- saber, 4- schooner, pistol is taken at the beginning of the game when escaping from the ship. Why more?

I did not take the pistol at the start so technically to make everything, I'd need 9 sets of tools but I only have 8 right now. I don't mind since I'm not planning to use the pistol anyway. I guess I was just more concerned that I'd need tools in the future and not have enough so I was afraid to "use them up", so to speak. I also haven't used any living water either lol. I'm a bit of a supply hoarder I guess.

I don't use living water either. I just don't need it. And about the tools - I'm sure that if we need tools for some quest in the next one, they will be added to the map)))

certainly, you can see a ship in the new region, so there's 2 tools for sure.

How are you seeing a ship in the new region? On my main map all it shows is something like an X and it says “work in progress”. I’ve already beat the game and been to all four regions that’s available, the only one I’m missing is the far left one.

The developers wrote what the ship would be like, and posted screenshots. Only I am not sure that we will build it ourselves, because the developers wrote that it will be "moored" to the stones in the bay in the north of Silver Island. Perhaps in history it will already be built, and we will have to repair or equip it.

In the video they released of the final release, you can briefly see the map, showing the new region. it has a ship in it.

It's a big question why you need schoonar. It takes so many tool sets.

I found schoonar a bit out of place, simply too good for a shipwrecked sailor. It's big, hard to build a deep dock for it.

The Great Sotrmbreaker is so much more fitting. I like canoe, catamaran and Stormbreaker for simplicity. They fit to self made idea. Just bunch of logs really.

Schoonar has a place in my heart. But tools consumption is disappointing a little. I'd rather get crew for such big ship.

Unless they boost shots per ignot, firearms will be a luxirious joy, not a main weapon.

Release, release, will you come please?
It's been a long wait, we need an update.
Good game in development, price not really relevant.
Tropical adventure, award winning venture.
A small but smart team, boost indie self esteem.
Have good sales, surpass tripple AAA whales.
Wish all the best, what will be next?

I actually agree with you but I made the schooner before I got the Stormbreaker blueprint. But after completely upgrading the storm breaker, it’s definitely a better way to go. And it doesn’t take tools or really anything that we don’t already have (most likely).

One thing I really like about the Schooner though is when you fish from it, you don’t have to repeatedly move your mouse or character.

Most likely I will deconstruct the schooner and just use the stormbreaker for the next part of the game. Only 3 more days till I can test out my new ship!

As far as the firearms, I cleared out the whole swamp of caiman in sulfur island with only 10-15 bullets so I don’t think it’s too costly, imo. I use the saber or spear for most animals.

Oh ok thanks! I’ll have to try to pull up that video because I don’t think I’ve seen it yet. Or I guess I could just wait three days and then I’ll know anyway 😂
