Well, given it only takes plant fiber and wood to make why not just make new ones?

It actually has a pretty high armor value on it. My primitive armor is like 48 which is crazy high.

It honestly seems kind of justifiable to use repair kits if the mitigation is going to be that high.

Unless the armor values have been reworked? If they haven't, my primitive armor is reducing damage by 48%

That's not an answer to my question.

Why then are primitive weapons and tools still repaired with basic materials? They all need legendary parts to make T6.

And also, the primitive gear has no bonuses. It's the better-than-nothing gear that you hang onto until you have something better. However, if it were still cheap to repair, that could be considered its bonus.

My level zero alt friend. You know as well as i do, its because the fun pimps didn't think quite that far ahead, as they don't have the greatest development track record. If you are so concerned about this tiny issue because of your OCD, abandon it. Or use your real account to ask questions.

Enough of the snark, please. This is not Reddit. And just to rub it in, your assumptions are wrong. This is the only account I've ever had. I don't care for multiplayer. Nobody needs to see my profile page.

The purpose of this thread is to draw attention to this possible oversight.

Recipes.xml, lines 451 onwards. Easy enough fix, but still.

Wait, no. That was for something else. Items.xml, line 9371.

My short answer for why primitive armor needs repair kits and the tools don't is: the armor is awesome and the primitive tools are trash

I don't know if we are talking "logic" or "balance" but the armor is OP for starting armor.

My primitive armor has more armor than old leather did (or it's close) and there are no movement penalties.

It really isn't. You're only looking at damage mitigation and nothing else. What reason would you have to keep using primitive armour once you find something else? Precisely. Absolutely no reason, because it offers no bonuses and is as expensive to repair as better gear.

Seems a poor design choice to me, if it's intentional, which it may not be given that primitive weapons and tools lack this high cost of repair.
