#💊 Infusion and ointment exchange in Silverstone

This is simply a personal suggestion being shared with the team, not something that was requested by the developers.

In Silverstone, there are already several traders that allow tier-based exchanges for materials such as wood, ingots, leather, cloth, and seeds. This helps keep lower-tier resources relevant and maintains progression consistency.

Following the same logic, it could be considered that the first pharmacy in Silverstone also allows tier-based exchanges for infusions and ointments, using a system similar to the one already applied to other materials.

The intention is not to generate free consumables, but to:

  • Give continued value to lower-tier infusions and ointments.
  • Reduce unnecessary stockpiling of consumables that lose relevance in mid/endgame.
  • Maintain consistency across systems within the city.

This is shared purely as a suggestion for consideration, focused on quality of life and system consistency.

Thinking that T7s still get T5 reward infusions. At least so they don't delete them.

This would be good. i would like it if we could trade for pet crackers as well, like 3 T4 infusions for a T4 cracker

#

and it should be Molly who's running it. Give her something to do besides playing house with Dr Dodgy 😉

Yeah it coud be done. And some rare food if they coud put in there, to be abile to get it for coins, at least for tasks.
And tools and fastners we shoud be abile to trade up.

Well you put all that stuff into building the doctors office in Silverton and then after that you can't even get a free bandage daily or anything it would be nice if it was actually functional give a little more life to town.

As long as it wouldn't be like the meat shop that one is annoying since you build it and there is also no free meats and no exchange

i don't think he's got room for all the special foods and drinks ingredients tho, and i think they're more appropriate coming from the general store.

He could do some hot meals/drinks i guess that would be fine

but things like tea, coffee, northern herbs, limes, and mustard, hot sauce, canned food and chillis should be the general store.

A Silvertown pharmacy is a great idea!

I always thought a bit more active Silverton would be fun. I admit i barely go to the vendors for anything not even the free items. Too low tier now waste of space. I mostly exchange wood, stone and cloth/leather. I don't generally but stuff from them.

#

Trade is out of reach for most new players on the skill tree and even if they could trade to t2 most of them hardly have any heals

I would prefer if rare foods don’t become widely available for coins.

Meat vendor needs a rework, you have to build it and there is no point if you cant trade for higher meat varieties, instead you can only buy a few low tier ones at a hefty price.

I suppose trading up medicaments could work, but I don’t see actual value in it since herbs are abundant in the game (lower tiers excluded). It just takes a bit of time, so keep an eye on your stock and plan accordingly.

What i would really love to see is option to make bandages of t5 and above.

Crackers? That would be useful.

Pharmacy. Someone mentioned that you build/bring some items to doctor and also didn’t reap what you saw, so it would be a nice addition to Town, where weekly you would get bandage/infusion/ointment of your current tier - or if it is daily, one of the items mentioned.

All in all, the game should stay within the survival framework, and not a tycoon management type of game.

I understand your point, but that’s actually the main reason this thread exists.

Many T7 players end up with large amounts of T5 infusions that they no longer need at all, and they usually end up deleting them because they have no real use.

The idea isn’t to make the game easier or move away from the survival focus, but to avoid certain consumables becoming completely irrelevant in the late game. That’s why this discussion is happening, to see if there’s a reasonable alternative use instead of letting them go to waste.

Yeah those ingridents that we find in hidouts only woud be nice if coud buy them for coins if we realy need.
Like I woud being new in t7 tier,I cant get that red ingrident,for rare food,so I woud get it for coins if it was posible.
Being 117lvl.I cant get t7 rare food yet.

vast tree
# meager veldt Yeah those ingridents that we find in hidouts only woud be nice if coud buy them...

I understand what you mean. It’s true that this ingredient isn’t strictly required for progression, but it is used for important food, and when you first enter T7 zones it’s not easy to obtain since it mainly comes from hideouts.

That makes it feel especially costly or inaccessible during the early T7 phase, even if it becomes less of an issue later on. In that context, having the option to purchase it with silver as an additional alternative doesn’t sound unreasonable and could help smooth that transition.

This kind of feedback is useful to highlight where the start of a new tier can feel rough. All of these comments are being collected and will be added for the devs to review.

Yeah. Add it. I said it here becouse it woud make sense to be put in where herbs,and poitons are for trade.
If they make it tasks to eat,or produce t7 rare food or drink,they shoud be aware that people tgat are new in any tier have problem with that task. Becouse it can be faund only in hidouts but you get lower tier hidouts very long time offten,as new in that higher tier.

Yeah I know. I am close to 118lvl.So hopfully by next 14days tasks,I will get 119lvl,and start geting t7 hidouts.

The advice I'm giving is to open the area right when a new track starts so that there's time to build the workshops because things get a bit more complicated.

Well it just woud be nice to be abile to trade or buy healing herbs and potions,along with ingridents for rare foods.
Doctor and Moly dont do nothing anyway. We saved them for nothing.😅
It woud be intrasting if there was option for free instant healing at Doc.,one time a day,when everything resets.

On reflection i feel like a pharmacy won't impact me. I literally only visit the market to trade wood and stone, cloth and leather. I was debating resetting the skills tree because its a real PITA to have what 4 or 5 skills tied up with the stupid trade feature? I was just thinking if i could live without. If i just quit collecting any lower tier stuff i can't dump in the alliance. I get what 20 on return of 100? The only thing i might keep it for is to trade for t7 stone. But that would be 500 t5 stones to get that far.

So i don't know. It may not be worth keeping trades. And i haven't spent coin on the overpriced rss and items since i was a noob and learned better. Only bought an occasional gunparts so i didn't have to farm the ore.

So i don't think it would impact me.

I do have a bunch of t4 and t5 and a smattering of other rss but i use those all for CT and also to top up when im home. I don't think i would trade any heals

Now if he would take all the t1 and t2 stuff from my mailbox and that i get from SC and trade tools I would be down.

Or sell stuff for coin. That's always a common ask.

How much of these are from farming? And how many from leaderboard rewards? How much of it did you buy? How many are Devs gift?

U can totaly stack up on healing just by using strong armor and guns.

# vast tree Now does it make sense?

Well i was just saying for me. And knowing how trades work and the costs if you buy those things. Plus if i want to free those skills ups.

Looks to me like you would be better served if instead of trading you could sell them all for coins. You don't need heals of any level.

I have like 1600 alcohol and not enough infusions or herbs to use them up. Running glacier i use more heals than i gain because of the wolf packs. Denali is legit easier.

Oh hey are you able to tell me how you get the total hours on the game you said you had Samsung s23 ultra too. You coukd tag me in cowboy chat so we don't go off topic

But anyway i am not opposed to a funtional pharmacy. I just don't think i will use it much and not at all if i decide to get rid of trading.

Ok.

If these are from farming, then just stop collecting them.

If these are from leaderboard rewards, maybe these need to be modified.

If you purchased these in game. Why? You don’t need them. Again why?!

If devs gift, maybe ask for changing item.

I find it hard to belive you do not use heals. Ok, you obviously have good equipment so you don’t need heals. And this brings me back to initial question, why are you collecting it?

# vast tree The alliance assignments require it. They keep giving infusions as rewards. I'm ...

Alliance assignment give rewards? Hmm, i csn only activate bonuses.

You probably mean alliance raid rewards?

I still don’t see how trading would help. You dont use the ointments that much and since you have too many of t5/6 heals in stock, trading up wont really solve the problem, you will just start stockpiling t7 ointments.

Its true that you will free space, but since you don’t need it you might as well delete the excess healings.

But we're not talking about how it was played. We're talking about how more than 50% of the game's materials could be exchanged.

Treding up,woud save on space,like u trade 5 stone blocks for 1 of higher tiere.
In terms of space its 100 t6 oitments to 20 t7 etc.
Anyway,If I was in such situation,
I woud totaly burn it down in CT, using lower tier armor and weapons to farm coins.
U can go up to wave 29 with t5 armor and weapons,reseting it multiple times.
Its 96 coins to reset I think and you earn 140. Somthing like that.

What about a new alliance building or building component that would need healing ingredients and completed heals? So everything from ointments to herbs and alcohol? The building could provide more HP, make heals work better or faster.

Or a recycling station where you can dump all the junk you get off the lucky box. All those copper tools and whatnot it could recycle the stuff into random components or something.
