Those are rewards i got for making a bunch of quests for one trader. Are they always the same in those Tiers if i will make more quests for another Trader?

Also 500 Steel blocks looks like insanely good reward? That's like 5000 Forged Steel? Or Solar bundle. Free source of energy sounds good to. Any suggestions and insights?

I'd take the solar bundle tbh. You can only get solar banks and cells from traders, and they're the most expensive things in the game.

I would pick what your going to use. Solar banks sound good on paper, but I just never use them. Power lights? Lights adds to heat map, screamer are the worst, lights also hurts my stealth no thx personally, I have night vision. Plus theres ground oil lamps. Power turrets? Them shooting adds to heat map so much, where wood/iron spikes don't. Recharge car batteries? Ehhh maybe, but gas is sooo common and I think gas generator with all engines is more power than battery bank.

Gyro? That sounds nice if you lack one, but who knows.

100 steel? ha, the troll reward.

Military armor? Sounds risky, and maybe pointless if your doing heavy armor. Shrug.

Just to clarify, electric powered lights do not add to the heatmap. only torches and candles.

The only thing I'd jump on are the steel blocks. That's a lot of grind to get that much steel. The 100 steel is laughably horrid. The other stuff is 'just ok'. I've never gotten anything above a q4 from an armor pack, so those would likely just get scrapped or sold. Gyro isn't particularly difficult to make or very resource hungry. Solar cells are expensive, but I doubt that pack will give q6 panels. Let us know what quality level dropped from whatever you chose.

I'd get the steel blocks since five hundred of those is an insane amount for not doing much more than accepting the reward itself.

Have 170w's atm running Bunch of lights, 4 gun turrets, 4 forges.

Day 38, with 0 screamers.
Dunno if they've changed the way it works or perhaps my games bugged.
Maybe it's because i rarely stay at my base unless it's horde night. I run through some cooking and crafting/smelting and go off as it does it all.

The vehicle bundles kind of suck, 2 out of maybe 5 times, all I got was some wheels, engine, battery (4 wheels in the case of the "4x4 Parts Bundle"), but no actual vehicle parts.

I suppose I'd go for the steel blocks as well, but I'd also give a shout-out for the Military Armor Bonus Bundle, since the Armor bundles always give 1 of every piece, and the Bonus level means they'll all be rank 5 or 6 (I've never seen lower from a Bonus Armor Bundle (I've opened them for Steel, Padded, and Military)).

My fear for the Solar Bank Bundle is that it'll have just the Solar Bank, 1 Cell (rank 1-3), and a Wire Cutters or something else technically important to Solar.

[Uscari]

I'd take the steel blocks and solar bank bundle.

Solar cells were extremely expensive even before A20, even if you don't use them, you can sell them for an absurd amount of dukes.

*Edit* I maxed out Daring Adventurer so I assumed you'd pick 2.

If I were to pick one or the other I'd go with steel blocks. That's way too good to pass up. End game level building material available instantly.

It can vary, i got melee mods bundle 3 and auto turret bundle instead of military and solar panels.

Couple misconceptions here.

1. Electric lights do not generate heat or contribute to attracting screamers.
2. Shotgun turrets do create a fair amount of heat when they fire, but SMG turrets create very little.
3. I'm about 99% certain that electric fences, blade traps, and dart traps create no heat whatsoever.
4. While electric lights and traps create no heat, running a gas generator does create heat. This is one of the reasons solar is valuable, as it does not create heat.

I went with Solar Pack, (loots stage 132 in snow biome, GS:81, no clue if that have any effect what you get in the bundle) The rarity and the argument about Solar Panels not generating heat compared to Generator was a big one. And tons of Fuel is needed for motor and auger already. It also won't make annoying constant noise i believe

I know those Steel Blocks are better choice in the long term but at the moment and few more horde nights (Survivalist) concrete will do, even repairing those block with forged steel would be a pain, because without Mother Lode all the iron i can get is already used for spikes, repairing blade traps and ammo for dart traps and turret, not to mention other need for mods and stuff.

In the bundle:
- Solar Bank
- Solar Cell 3x (4,4,3)
- 10 Electric Wire Relay
- Wire Tool

Also it looks like price droped down. Around 400g for Solar Bank and no sell price for Cells
