IS the game stopping me from farming furniture blueprints?

[Noxsa]

so all respawns after 4 hours, right. i know its server side 4 hours. so i follow a time template of when the chest respawn loot on the server i'm on, but the last two days this ain't the case for all chests i'v looted.

i do a 15min run where i loot 3 places of all possible BP loot locations (it being randong this ain't a good system but yah)
now sins two days ago half "give or take" don't respawn loot, is this the game telling me stop doing this or what?

they really need to change the BP table so it does not give BP's you already unlocked, i'm farming my butt of for weeks now, still not have all furniture BP's and the times i can craft one, its usually one i already have. this system SUCKS.

i feel you,, hope they will do something about it in future,, but clearly this is not their priority

[Noxsa]

yea luck RNG based systems in game are bad in my opinion. ohwell like you said hopefully they change it in the future.

i want that double bed...and some purple furniture...until now i got only like 3-4 blues and rest were greens, whites and normal furniture...more normal furniture than actual bp :(( I rather pay 50k EL for them from vendors than farm for weeks for either nothing, furniture items, furniture bp that i already have x3 and one white that i don';t have or 2 greens that i have....

If everyone grinds for everything, then everyone will own the same stuff and there will be no uniqueness. RNG is meant to add a little bit or flavor to the world, and the desire to own everything there is to own is a sickness.

It is my understanding that mystical and mythical chests, the main source of blueprint fragments, do not respawn until the next season. This means that the choice to sacrifice some fragments in order to enhance others carries a certain amount of weight but it's not final. All other chests respawn, so do the elite mobs. Silos and factories can be farmed to your heart's content, and if you have too much stardust you can make missiles and take part in prime wars for even more drops.

Blueprints for constructables are completely RNG and the more you play, the greater the chances are that you'll get what you want. However, if everyone had the same blueprints, the game worlds would be depressingly bland IMHO. Think like a scavenger, enjoy what you have.

Yeah RNG one day got 2 common blue print next day got 4 uncommon wall blueprint

not that type of BP i was talking about. the furniture bp RNG drop from storage chests and cabinets, dumpsters and the sort.

Take this with a pinch of salt as I'm not sure if it's true, but apparently your concerns were raised by others to the devs a while ago. i.e drop rates for furniture BPs are reduced after 1st logging in and subsequent BP "farm runs" every 4 hours. I was told that the devs response was, "Just play the game". If it's true (I'm not on Discord and haven't actually seen this, just going off third party account) it seems to me like this IS in fact the case. I definitely noticed it anyway so you're not alone in thinking something fishy is afoot! ;D)

I've also noticed that opening the crates found on the back of the red pickup trucks throughout the open world tend to have a higher drop rate for furniture BPs so you could give that a try to see if you get similar results?

nice tip, i'll do some highway runs then, i'll see if that gives a better result. and yea the more you farm for somthing the less you get.
take the offline acid farms people have, they all turn out pure water now when offline, that's strait up control by devs.

Actually I think they may have nerfed this tbh. I just tested it again, as it's been a while, and before I was getting 1 or 2 formulas every 30-40 trucks and now it's more like 1 every 100!!! I'd really like to know how they calculate RNG drop rate for furniture BPs. I honestly think it's on some kind of 24 hour IRL timer reset or the drop rate is reduced based on how many formulas you already have?

[Umi Nova]

you guys been using the designer worktable to breakdown the formulas?

yes, and so far they mostly gave me BP i already unlocked, its a POOP system for sure.

Interesting, I thought I'm being unlucky. 0 furniture BP for week+, I'm only getting the furnitures themselves...

yea i most get them too, bp drops are rare, and now even more rare.

Some guy as the devs about this subject and their reply was just play the game.
