Axle, Wagon Wheel ETC vs repair kit ?

[Steven]

I am curies I have played three normal games now it seems like the Wagon wheel and axle those items from orginal game now all they do is act like a repair kit so why have them, they take up more space and cost more then the repair kit repair kit be used three times same as those other items that take up more space. I have never had a wagon wheel or anything bust just that silly mini game that they added where wagon inventory breacks and u have to repair the sqaures and you can use the wagon wheel or axels to so forth make three repairs or you can use repair tool box.

last four games I have played i never taken anything other than repair tool box. seems like no point in taking other things. one time it said i broke my wheel guy just went over and hit it with hammer and bingo was fixed with out even having a wheel just used repair tool box so really why have them in game ?

I don't remember this silly inventory mini game in original where your items would fall out constantly when squares broke.

I only remember there being a weight system for the wagons which I think makes sense because you stack things on top of each other in wagons.

not just next to each other.

I was just curies if any one else even bothers with those other items like I said i only use the repair kits that all i take ever.

so really spend all monies on bullets some food, oil and tool kits and just one change of clothing for all for whole trip cuz thats all I ever need at least.

If you are playing Oregon or Bust, you'll need some coffee, too. You can't make it to the end before winter on a steady pace, and running low on stamina on that difficulty is a death sentence.

The rule of thumb, even mentioned in the game, is to make it to Independence Rock on or before July 4th, at which point you can slow your pace back down.

I was very surprised that the larger items didn't repair more than one space or something else special. There is just no reason to waste time or money on these items.
