Durability on tools

Post by shubla »

Add durability/wear to tools.
So after some use they will break down ¦]
This would apply to weapons too.
Maybe it could work like symbel. As you use them ql goes down until it disappears.

I posted about taught some time ago, in case the q would degrade slowly it could foster trade by handing them down the chain.

Fuck no. I don't want to spend time replacing fucking tools. You know how much fun it is to replace diamond picks in Minecraft? It's not. And it wouldn't be fun in Haven. The last thing I want to be doing is managing durability on my tools in addition to everything else.
“We still, alas, cannot forestall it-
This dreadful ailment's heavy toll;
The spleen is what the English call it,
We call it simply, Russian soul.”

An idea to consider: Tedium, a Feature.

I don't see how this contributes to the enjoyability of gameplay.

It doesn't. These people are just masochists that think "realism" is an argument for game design.

Time and a place imo. I've always hated tool durability personally lol.

Only if I am able to repair them - by beating them into shape with a tool, adding material to it (like ploughs needing blocks), or both.

I don't want a tool I cannot repair.

You are much loved! Love in return!
