#Fiddling mechanic and talent.

A new talent for the Mechanic which allows them to "Fiddle" with mechanical devices to boost their performance for a short while. Boosting Engine speed, pump speed, weapon damage and fire rate ect, maybe even decreasing fabrication time.

For balancing we could make it deal damage to devices slowly while fiddling, and give it a cooldown, maybe 30 seconds, so you cant just sit on devices the entire day?

This would be a good new addition in my opinion because it would allow mechanics to have a more interactive experience, able to be called to action by the captain when they need to go fast, or help assist fabricating items faster to add to the cooperative feel of the game.

What do you think guys?

I think BaroOverhaul already does this and calls it the “Tinker” mechanic.

Sounds familar, maybe they should put it in vanilla

I found it

#

Old version of a existing talent

#

I assume that’s the kind of things you were referring also the mod that Chee mentioned just brings back the old functionality with some nerfs I believe

dont think this is possible within the constraints of the barotrauma engine, maybe in barotrauma 2 they can add it

#

thank you for the honesty, although barotrauma 3 might do it better

FakeFish is the company developing Frostrail. Shiro is the publisher.
FakeFish and Undertow are technically separate companies, but they're working on Barotrauma together. Neither of them acts as a publisher for Barotrauma. That'd be Daedalic.
There's a big overlap between Barotrauma's dev team and the Frostrail dev team. From what I understood, some people who used to work on Barotrauma have moved onto working on Frostrail. In addition to the old developers moving between projects, new people got hired to join both dev teams.
And maybe some of the devs are sharing their time between the two projects, but that's just a guess. Artists could do that, theoretically.
