Crucible should always be for sale

[optOut]

I saw it for sale within day 10 - 12 from Bob, and I couldn't afford it. On day 13 I was ready to buy it, but I've never seen it for sale again. Currently day 20. Frustrated.

No it shouldn't always be on sale, especially early levels, you missed your chance at an early one, oh well, try other traders or wait.

You can continually ask the trader to restock their inventory. That is one way I get a jump on magazines I need.

How do you make them restock besides waiting?

admin services, restock inventory

have to be in debug mode.

So... you have to cheat.

At this point just use the debug mode to give you what you want.

The Crucible takes out the meaning of 25 Forge magazines when you get it, IMO it should cost 5x more or be taken out of the trader.

So the end game item that makes you almost op should always be available to buy? Makes sense.

[Pain Weasel]

I agree, but with a caveat.

I think that all the forge upgrades should be treated the same as the dew collector upgrades. They are always in the traders' inventory but require certain trader stage levels to see them (10/20/30 if I remember correctly). I'm not sure why TFP thinks it is important to restrict access to the dew collector upgrades, which are more of convenience items, but makes crucibles randomly available on day 1.

That being said, there are easier ways to get tons of steel so it isn't really that big of a deal.

Salvage vending machines, or street lights

Salvaging, particularly with Salvage Operations. Carry some Hackers candy for even better results.

Don't forget gas pumps. Every mid to large sized Pass N Gas is worth a bunch of steel. Truck stops on the edge of towns are also a great source.

Kill cops.

You can just farm in burned wood area and wait for night than hunt some Bears, Wolfes they always drop very good stuff and much ammo and Magazins. Im at day 35 and i almost have all Magazins full. But i would recommend to skill in Sniper perks to kill the Zombie Bears, Wolves easy. Hope that can help without, in my opionen cheat in debug mode.

[Semirotta]

it shouldnt but its not hard to come by, especially if you level up bartering skill to get better deals.
Very easily obtained once you know what you are doing.
