Is the Gold Spanner TOO good?

[Jaded AF]

What do you think? Is a infinite repair kit that doesn't take up space too good? Escpecially since you can repair tires aswell. It may cost 1200 marks but it is quite good.

I would certainly think that it is too good, just for virtue of being able to repair tires.

If you take out th lug nuts but leave them on the car then you can use a repair kit or a spanner to repair them, with the gold spanner aka infinite toolbox, you save alot of money on tires.

I say it harms nothing. Just because it's there doesn't mean you have to buy it. Stick with a lower model, or none, if you're looking for that challenge.

or just dont use it

I have no problem with using it, I love it. I'm just concerned that in a game where the whole thing is keeping your car running, an infinite toolbox might not be in the game very long.

I'd say no, it's already a considerable investment and takes a while to break even.

As much money as it costs it only took me a day of selling tires to get it.

Well I mean, technically it's just an animation, it is actually a toolkit, but I assume that since the game's in pre-alpha, animations for other tools in said kit are not in the game, if they ever will be is TBD.

Real Life Real Life Real Life. Not everything in video is or should be realistic. You can't rollover a car and then bring it back into top notch condition with a few toolboxes in real life. In real life there are more than one lug nuts on wheels, but if there were 4 it would be boring and tedious to change a tire.

Gold Spanner is very good for me.
I can drive where I want. The repairing tools which can be used 3 times was annoing. I has to take 3-4 rep. kits into trunk/roof rack to go anywhere.
Gold Spanner and is very usefull when You want to make some money.

I can't just repair a punctured tire. The condition was 3/3 but the tire was flat.
Only new wheels can repair that.

you might be able to repair things infinite number of times.

but you still have to stop and repair them.

so the aspect of having to stop in the middle of nowhere, to perform vehicle maintenance, is still there.

That is a very good point actually.

yeah, the thing is, with shops and toolkits not necessarily being available, is that that's a potential end-game scenario. The infinite spanners allow you to keep going, but you still have to stop every so often to fix your car up. I think a bronze spanner should be available at Uncle's garage or something though. So even if you can't find a toolkit, you can "return home" and be able to fix your car up to minimal condition at least, in order to try again another day.

I'd suggest a different thing to handle tyres though. Which would be limited-use "puncture repair kits", and tyres not being repairable by toolkits or spanners. Tyre gets to 0 condition and bursts, you can repair it to 1 condition with a puncture repair kit. But, those would be a limited use item, because you can only carry so much glue & rubber patches. So you'd have to buy new tyres every so often, or carry a lot of puncture repair kits.
