Even worth getting legendary guns?

[Dancer164]

Title is pretty self explanatory; a legendary charge rifle my 20 crafting colonist made is has 100/100/100/74 accuracy (Touch,short,medium, long) but is worth TWICE as much as a masterwork (4500/9000), and 4500 can easily spawn a few extra raiders in a tribal raid. A masterwork has an accuracy of 100/100/96/72, meaning I'm losing 4 percent at medium range and 2 percent at long range... This brings up the problem of traders coming way too damn infrequently, how am I even going to sell the thing before a few raids hammer me a bit harder? I just had a tribal raid of 23 hit my 7 colonists, previously it was around 19-20

When you building/planing your defences - expect them dealing with ~30 tribals guys and ~30 elephants/wargs. This aproximately maximum that unmodded game can throw on you.

You losing not 4 percent, don't forget that this is base chance PER every square. So actually that charge rifle is very, very deadly.

[Dancer164]

It's actually 79% my bad, which gives it a 7% increase. Still tho, is that 7% increase more than doubling it's effectiveness? I'll probably atleast keep this one, but is it worth it to keep making charge rifles until they are all/mostly legendary? With the new mining drills I should have the resources to do it pretty comfortably.

But still relevant :)
The game kept this problem the same, masterwork/legendary hardly gives enough bonuses to offset the extra value provided raids and it even worsened, because there doesn't seem to be a hardcap for incoming raiders, at least for me, 100+ pirates are a thing and I'm only around 430k colony wealth :)

MORE MORTARS!!

The difference between 96 and 100 accuracy is huge with the way this game handles it. Accuracy is multiplied exponentially based on range, so at 30 tiles it's 0.96^30 = 0.2938 chance to hit. I don't know exactly how weapon accuracy and colonist accuracy are combined, I think weapon accuracy is multiplied against the pre-curve colonist accuracy, so you wont see quite as large an effect, but even the difference of 0.01 accuracy is noticeable at medium and long range.

I think legendary quality works as it should. When you craft a legendary item, word spreads (if you believe the flavour text), meaning people are going to know that something of great value resides in your stockpiles somewhere. Stacking up on legendaries is basically making your colony a makeshift dungeon with amazing loot.
