Industrial grinder and blueprints idea!

[Jereh]

so i was playing around with the grinder and came up with what i think is a cool idea in my opinion and my idea is if you could take those useless blueprints that you allways throw out and put them into a grinder and grind them up into blueprint fragments or something along those lines
and these blueprint fragments that you get from grinding up these useless blueprints can be used to learn something good that you got say a good longneck rifle you could use the blueprint fragments to get a blueprint of that longneck now i know this could be op but since you get alot of blueprints you could make this cost alot in order to do this but i feel like this is a good idea because it encourages people to go drop farming more plus it would add a better use to the grinder because i feel at the moment it isnt worth what it costs and this idea could fix that. please leave your opinion on this below :D

Hmmm has merit... but I am constantly throwing away medium crop plot water jar and compass BPs. Not sure how using THOSE would net me with learning something nice. I ahve been using them to line the ptera pen, and shredding them for the sabercats litter box.

I often rip up things and then take fragments and paste them all together to make free stuff like free money and bills that cost less. ......

Sorry not normally like this but it's a stupid idea. Reminds me of a kid I went to high school with who was convinced if we could capture a tornado we would have free wind energy forever. .....

Trying to explain to him that it don't work like that was exhausting. He's probably a senator or something now.

What your saying is, like after grinding 100 worthless blueprints, you get the chance to make a blank blueprint, that can then be used to make a reuseable blueprint of a current item you own?

Sadly he probably is.

In theory and on paper its not a bad idea, but in practice it wouldn't make a lot of sense.

I'd alter this way. Instead of using the grinder, there would be a seperate crafting table, a blueprint drawing table. And instead of grinding them up, you could combine 10 blueprints into a single next higher tier blueprint of the same kind. The number could be adjusted up or down depending. The thought process being that you look at these various designs, see what works, and then integrate the superior working parts into a new even better design. But they have to be the same kind and the same tier such as say 10 primitive gives you a ramshackle blueprint, though stats could be different. Thats my thoughts on it.

That actually seems like a reasonable idea. Have you added it to their suggestions list? It would be nice to do something with all those jar/compass/crop plot etc. BP's

seriously what is wrong with you guy's? you people cant be serious. its suggestions like this that cause delays in game devolopment. some guy is going to take this seriouly and waste time on this. example: fishing poles. just throw them on the ground like everyone else. why are you even saving them in the first place? some days man its amazing how slow people are. grinding up blue prints to make better ones? give me a break. modderators please shut down this thread before we get another fishing pole disaster

My tribemate is a rather.. creative arkitect. He built a bathroom into our base (water tap shower, chair for a toilet, etc). He put a bookshelf next to the chair labelled "TP" that he puts worthless bps in. Once it's full he just tosses the rest on the ground.

*Not that we use the bathroom for RP purposes. It's more just there to look pretty and confuse people. We actually had a visitor apologize for crapping in our kitchen while he was borrowing our industrial cooker to make kibble, after he saw the bathroom.
