Cuting tool hardcap

[Uriel]

In mining masonry is hard cap and mining tool is soft. Why in butchering animals is other way? I understand slowing progression, but that matters only to factions really. For most of playerbase that would be positive change.

Nah, quality just being how high you can raise survival on a dedicated alt that logs into a node every 15 minutes was dumb and should never go back.

My shit being X10 the quality of your shit instead of X1.5 would not be positive for you

We had that system, it lead to crazy quality inflation. I much prefer this one.

I do see the frustration that as a hermit depending on others via trade there's nothing you can do to boost your incoming bone/meat Q. No matter what stats you do, soon as you start trading with established groups your top Q is 100% locked to what you bought.

I can't think of a solution to that, other than the age old "smaller groups should be able to generate value (other than tokens) to trade with bigger factions in a way that makes both happy".
