summer blaze
#

ikr i somehow out got alive after blundering into a firefight in customs by dorms. leg got shot out, body is 5hp and i had no armor. Somehow survived and extracted at cross roads with a sick gun x'D that feeling is hella dope

hardy hamlet
#

this is so trash

summer blaze
#

@bold kernel did you put all ur settings to min?

wide knoll

summer blaze
#

hardy hamlet
#

i died in 4 seconds earlier today

summer blaze
#

i died

#

@bold kernel Wats ur specs?

hardy hamlet
#

this was a 360 no scope from heaven

#

and the game was over that quick

summer blaze
#

x'D this game lol i always have like a video or manga qued up just in case I die in like 5 seconds and need to wait for 3 for the game to load back out

bold kernel
summer blaze
#

im pretty sure that is better than the min requirement for tarkov y cant u run it? O-o? is it like lag problems or low fps?

bold kernel
#

low fps and sometimes it jsut disconnects

#

i have asked about it and they say my graphics card isnt good enough

#

im super sad cuz EFT looks so fun but whenever i get into a game it either crashes or is unplayable

summer blaze
#

huh then idk... someone helped me tune my settings and I went from 40~ to like 60 fps and with the recent update i dont get stutters anymore

frigid fog
#

well unfortunately you dont really have a graphics card, you have what's called integrated graphics

#

it goes with the CPU (the ryzen 5)

#

SSD is solid but youl would probably need a better PC to play tarkov in any capacity

bold kernel
#

damn thanks dude

#

i have a laptop so do u think i could get a better graphics card or not ?

summer blaze
#

u need a gaming pc or laptop

#

most nromal laptops cant be modded

hardy hamlet
#

haha

#

just killed a level 2 for his hat

#

im the rat in a hat rn

summer blaze
#

u monster x'D

hardy hamlet
#

thats me

frigid fog
#

@bold kernel yeah you should get a PC if you ever have a bit of spare cash. you can also either sell the laptop or salvage the drive or ram to use

bold kernel
#

ok thx

hardy hamlet

Running the outside routes

proud phoenix
#

hello, i just started the game for the first time. Is there any experienced player willing to teach me. I would rly appreciate it. Im 22 yo (sounds like 10) from Croatia EU. (if its not ok to post here i will delete)

delicate wren
#

@gloomy quarry whenever I money run, I run outside interchange stashes, and I use the #21WS keycard there to get even more cash. Would highly recommend that keycard if youโ€™re running interchange a lot

worn verge
#

YOOO TARKOV

patent marsh
#

I'd like to team up with someone who can teach me customs, I've been practicing but I get lost a lot and extracts are hard to find for a new player

red flame
#

@patent marsh bit late of a response, but i know customs fairly well if you're trying to learn a rat loot path

patent marsh
#

I am but i'm doing a scav run with a friend

#

after?

red flame
#

sounds good. just ping me

patent marsh
#

no worries we died quickly and painfully @red flame if you wanna teach us now is the time

#

Wanna hop into say LFG customs 6? or is there something else we should join?

red flame
#

uhhh

#

let's do a small group

#

so pick a 3 man lobby

patent marsh
#

yeah it would just be me and one friend

#

he's still up so I'll ping you when he's dead/exfil

hardy hamlet

bold kernel
#

frosty compass
hardy hamlet
#

the items inside arent

frosty compass
#

no, ofc not then ๐Ÿ˜„

hardy hamlet
#

i was wondering if they will be returned if they are inside an insured bag

#

its not ofc, it could be either way

frosty compass
#

it can't be either way because it's one way ๐Ÿ˜„

#

the answer is nein

hot bridge
#

where can i find wd40 100mL?

frosty compass
#

would you like me to fence some?

hot bridge
#

yea that would be cool, but i bet someone will buy it first haha

frosty compass

frosty compass

#

Thank you so much

frosty compass
#

hot bridge
#

Even having one gives me hope that my Tetris nightmare will subside

frosty compass
#

fence still has one ,refresh

#

filter by barter goods

hot bridge
#

Yea I still need 3. Iโ€™m on barter goods and donโ€™t see any

frosty compass
#

refresh and it may show up

hexed maple
#

what does sighting range change?

red flame
#

how far you see

hot bridge
#

Iโ€™m refreshing. Wonder if it glitched. It said I couldnโ€™t buy all of them and gave me only one

frosty compass
#

anyway, enjoy ๐Ÿ˜„

#

hopefully you get that one

#

although if you're not lvl10 your stash shouldn't be full anyway, you should just sell some shiet

hot bridge
#

True, Iโ€™ve been selling a lot but now am stocking up rifles to do some xp grinding and questing

#

I keep getting killed by spawn hunters while trying to do praporโ€™s first quest, so I decided to pile up some guns so I donโ€™t rage quit haha

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Intel items comprise of maps, keys, key cards and other usable items that will help you get ahead of the competition - or at least know where the hell you are in Tarkov. Most of the keys can be used an unlimited number of times. Keys with a limited number of uses have their durability (number of uses remaining) listed in the bottom-right of their icon and on their inspection screen.

BT is good ye

hardy hamlet

primal venture

hardy hamlet

hmm okay

bold kernel

BP is one grade under BT

hardy hamlet

rip

the only ammo i can buy is PP i believe

primal venture

flat depot
#

anyone know how to get SGA stock for m870? I dont have traders

sand radish
#

How can I sell my icase? Its not found in raid and I need the roubles

#

not rmt also

frozen sundial
#

cant @sand radish

sand radish
#

Can I not sell my grenade case, med case, etc too?

frozen sundial
sour plume
#

or you're the kind of person who doesn't need immediate money and wants to milk everything for as much as you can so you wait for it to peak on the market before selling it kek

pure talon
#

good reason to have two is to have one dedicated to crafting, i.e. you can sell PSU for up to 60k but for profitable craft you should aim to buy them at ~30k, same goes for powercords (sell for 35k, buy for 15k), and so on.

#

if you're playing in a larger groups I would also recommend having dedicated container for attachments you'd like to sell on flea so you don't have to do it right away after the raid - instead you just put misc items to junk box, attachments to a dedicated case, sell the rest to vendors and you should be ready to go again in under one minute

hexed maple
#

If i switch to EU version does it reset my account?

pure talon
#

this way the team won't have wait for you for 10 minutes after each raid

wide knoll
#

Just sell everything u get and play with pistol only

earnest creek
#

hey im new to the game and currently playing on a hdd, with this new update will i not be able to play the game anymore?

wide knoll
#

They only recommend you to install the game on ssd because it will make the game run better/faster

hexed maple
#

You will be able too

#

this update is to increase loading time

#

if on hdd

earnest creek
#

oh ok

#

thx for the assistance

bold kernel
#

BS or Igolnik?

hexed maple
#

depends on ur accuracy cause if your gonna hit headshots bs is better

#

but for body shot Igolnik is better

mellow matrix
#

both wreck

#

BS will struggle with class 6 armor

#

igolnik won't

#

that's the difference really xD

quick tartan
#

any good 12 gauge preset for Spa Tour Part 1?

mellow matrix
#

153 fraud cannon

uneven haven
#

supressed buckshot saiga

#

or ap-20

mellow matrix
#

nah

#

it needs to be headshots

pure talon
mellow matrix
#

so buckshot is king

#

i even used the express buck for extra head-eyes chance

pure talon
#

it's only 3 flesh dmg difference per bullet (37 vs 40) so the main difference is the penetration (62 vs 51) and fragmentation chance (0.02 vs 0.17)

cobalt igloo
#

Is the headquarters worth upgrading early on or should I spend the money on gear?

pure talon
#

invest every single rubble into your upgrading your hideout and leveling up your traders

lament pine
#

The hideout can assist in many tasks by being able to craft found in raid items required or tasks

cobalt igloo
#

Ok, I've upgraded the hide out a very little bit. Now I just need to find some nuts and bolts. As for upgrading the traders.. is that just by buying items?

pure talon
#

with crafts and bitcoin farm you're getting at least a mil a day of passive income and with top tier vendors you'll be able to buy top tier ammo for 300 rubbles a piece or build meta m4 for 300k

lament pine
#

Buying and selling items and tasks for reputation

cobalt igloo
#

Thats dope

pure talon
#

for example if you want to run with mp7 a single magazine will costs you 200k on flea (100k+ per mag itself plus 2k+ per round), vendor will sell you a mag for ~15k and rounds for ~700 rubbles

cobalt igloo
#

Any specific order I should try to prioritize the traders? Or just buy and sell as needed?

lament pine
#

If you need help @cobalt igloo you're welcome to join my discord

cobalt igloo
#

Damn that's expensive. I'm running like 7-12k loadouts rn and I'm scared to lose it. I can't imagine .25 mil loadout

#

@lament pine link?

lament pine
#

sent one over to you bud

pure talon
#

also don't miss out on barter trades! the best one for low level is m2 rig from ragman for 4 aquamaris, and the secret is that you can use them before trading to vendor, so you're getting top notch level 4 rig for free

cobalt igloo
#

@pure talon awesome, thanks for the advice!

pure talon
#

also the leftover rule applies to crafts as well! so you can run your hideout on blue fuel tanks and use the leftovers to craft mag cases, or cycle golden star and ibu for painkillers and use leftovers to craft propital

hi guys! does anyone feel alright playing with a lvl 7? i need a buddy and its hard to find people who are in asia servers...

strong barn

They added arena by accident to the map menu

rancid finch
#

dont go into arena

granite heath
#

wth is arena

strong barn
#

what you are seeing is the ramifications of them trying to remove it

#

it was not arena; it was a test enviroment

#

a closed test enviromnt for textures and assets for Tarkov

#

not Arena but named 'arena'

carmine gust

Hold ctrl and drag

#

that lets you split any stacks

earnest creek
#

oh ok thx

carmine gust
#

hallow arrow
#

What is better when selecting servers, higher ping or lower ping? Asking because I only selected servers under 40 ping and I keep getting headshotted by players when I've already gotten to cover on my screen

wide knoll
#

i dont know what to do man someone sitting right next to me but i only have knife

carmine gust

Wait for him to die and take his gun then

carmine gust

Run out and stab his ass

wide knoll
#

carmine gust

No it spreads the damage out to the rest of him

wide knoll

wispy patrol
#

can anyone help me with 'big sale' quest i have done all the shops apart from avokado and top brand

#

(DM me if you can help)

mellow matrix
#

That is called desync, and its just Tarkov's problem

#

You have to live with it

hallow arrow
#

@mellow matrix Dang man, this mosin quest sucks. I don't wanna have to camp in a bush waiting for someone to walk by, but if I cant run back into cover after one shot it's pretty much what I have to do smh

mellow matrix
#

you can but he can still hit you for probably half a sec

#

which mosin quest ?

hallow arrow
#

@frosty compass @mellow matrix The tarkov shooter, keep running into players

mellow matrix
#

WHAT JUST HAPPENED

#

i killed so many raiders

#

the last one threw a flash

#

and it flashed me through a wall

hallow arrow
#

Did you just do that on shoreline?

mellow matrix
#

i was literally behind a meter thick wall, it exploded on the other side and i didnt get blinded but it got all blurry and weird

#

reserve as a scav :(

#

i was so close but no, tarkov said fuck you

#

and then audio bugged i swear i heard the raider on the opposide side

#

i turned around and got shot in the back the same second

#

did they rework flashbangs or what

hallow arrow
#

Oh damn, someone killed sanitar and all his bois in resort shoreline and didn't loot anything, got a keycard and lots of gear. Yeah the glitches in this game suck

mellow matrix
#

because if that's what the zaryas do now i am taking them instead of nades

#

i couldnt hear or do anything

#

gj

#

and i had that effect for good 20 seconds at least

pure talon
#

foxx please do so, so instead of killing me you give me a chance to shoot back at you

hallow arrow
#

LUL

mellow matrix
#

instead of the grenade exploding on the other side of wall doing nothing, ill just toss it your way and you wont be able to function for 30 secs :)

#

through walls

pure talon
#

i still prefer a stack of vogs

dull narwhal
#

how in the world do you level up strength fast

mellow matrix
#

vogs are overrated

hallow arrow
#

is a Key card with a blue marking worth keeping?

mellow matrix
#

ive had them explode at my feet doing little damage

dull narwhal
#

legit im endurance level 30 with strength 2

pure talon
#

glitching, throwing ton of nades or running with fuel tanks while having air filter on

dull narwhal
#

might want to get rid of glitching as if you do that you can get your stuff wiped

pure talon
#

just take a couple cheap nades (zarya/smoke) and throw them at the beginning of each of your raids

dull narwhal
#

well i need a filter first

#

which im to broke to get since i have been getting nuked every round : )

#

i have to go back to hatch running

#

which i hate

pure talon
#

if you want to hit interchange/shoreline for ledxs then sure

#

if you have patience for that

#

but you can simply take a budget and play a normal game on customs

#

you should be getting at least 300k per run consistently

dull narwhal
#

yeah so i only got keys for reserve lmao

#

and the keys for shoreline are apparently for red key cards

#

cause i found a keytool from some dude there lmao

pure talon
#

i don't know, never done that, but it sounds silly to me to do hatchet runs on reserve

dull narwhal
#

not really theres a lot of places to get guns

#

and cages will loot you up easy

#

but

pure talon
#

map loads for 5 minutes for me, just to throw the dice for the god spawn, and then throw the dice again to see if ill be able to extract with it

dull narwhal
#

with a ledx?

pure talon
#

for instance

#

otherwise youve wasted 10 minutes for 150k profit

#

or whatever therapists pays for it

dull narwhal
#

yeah happened once before

#

got out alive tho

mellow matrix
#

dude what is this

dull narwhal
#

idk

#

hmm

mellow matrix
#

i need to keep my headphones at like 20degree angle to the left

#

for the right ear to work

#

lmao

dull narwhal
#

ok so i should hit up shoreline for hatches?

pure talon
#

on the other hand you can go to customs, avoid hot spots (especially dorms, theres nothing there expect for other players and reshalla) and fill your backpack with everything you can find

dull narwhal
#

nonononon

#

every

#

single time

#

i go customsd

#

i die by anything from anywhere

pure talon
#

worst case scenario you'll get backpack full of crap which sell on flea for 10k/slot anyway so with a trizip it gives you 300k per

dull narwhal
#

dorms i never go to either

#

no worse case is death

#

lol

pure talon
#

as a player or as a scav?

dull narwhal
#

both

#

unless i fill my beta

#

then im fine lol

pure talon
#

as a player the map is extremely predictible

dull narwhal
#

i havent had that click yet for it

pure talon
#

3 spawns on top closest to dorm always pushes there

#

2 spawns pushed medical

#

another two will most likely push usec

dull narwhal
#

huh that does kinda sound normal

pure talon
#

those from medical pushes fort and then most of the time old gas/power jump over and proceed towards usec

also utilize your hideout for passive income, it really adds up

#

once you get high level not only you get a sustainable source of passive income but everything is dirty cheap thanks to vendors

#

it's really unfair and bad game design, but that's how it is, like in real life, rich people get richer and the gap between bad players and good players grows during the wipe because of skills system

Might be a complicated question but here it goes. I'm lvl 46 but only lvl 12 skill strength (even lower a day ago when i wasnt training it) and I am trying to find the best method to build up strength. My current strategy is multiple docs cases filled with SAS drives (each full case is 13.5kg and I have 3 atm). I have about 40kg in my pouch and then I throw on a little extra to get me to around 60kg and Ive just been sprinting to extract as soon as I spawn in. Question is about stimulants, Ive seen videos of people taking L1's and sj6's and running for several minutes and when they are done theyve ranked up several skill levels like nearly 100 skill points or so. I do it and I don't even think it budged my skill level. Did they change that and can you no longer use stims to assist physical skill leveling in 12.8, and does anyone have suggestions on how to improve this strength skill method?

huh kk thx

oblique mauve
#

ok so i need help

#

its annoying because i always have my scope on someone shoot them and when i die it says i didnt hit any shots, which isnt possible since my scope was right on them and i shoulda gooten atleast 5 hits

#

not saying its a bug im saying if there is a mechanic in the game that idk about thats fuckin me over in every gun fight

bold kernel
#

Without more info it's only left to guessing... it can be bullet drop and you never reach your target. It could be desync although it's been rare in my experience.
It could be objects between you and target aren't rendering and blocking said bullet...

pure talon
#

approx distance between you and your target?

oblique mauve
#

like 30 feet

#

ill try to clip it and show u guys next time

#

but ur right im not giving u much to work with

pure talon
#

as mreft said, without more information it's hard to troubleshoot, but i would suggest doing two things - go to your hideout to the shooting range and check on the furthest target where does the bullet actually hit compared to where do you have your reticle and/or go to and offline raid and shoot and comparable distance to a wall and check bullet mark to compare

#

since a) in tarkov guns rarely shoot where the reticle is pointing - depends on the combination of gun/optic; b) guns have a bullet drop and zeroing probably works completely different than you think, so for longer shots you have to figure it out by trial and error

oblique mauve
#

ya the fights ive experienced were rly close range

#

so its prolly something else

pure talon
#

*not even guns, just different ammo types, pay attention to bullet speed

#

desync then

oblique mauve
#

ill record it next time

pure talon
#

tarkov netcode works completely different than most other games

deft juniper
#

anyone downt o show a newbie the ropes?

#

im a good shot

pure talon
#

also... if you were moving/strafing some optics have sway which means the gun won't shoot anywhere near the reticle

#

iirc vertias has a pretty good video on this particular subject

oblique mauve
#

loool wtf how

pure talon
#

fragmentation

oblique mauve
#

i used 4 rounds and got 6 hits

#

ohhhhh that makes sense

#

do rounds that get absorbed by armour count as a hit?

pure talon
#

and there was a bug like two months ago with certain type of ammo which resulted in every hit being registered twice

#

could be one of those

#

ofc

oblique mauve
#

ok just making sure i wasnt tripping

#

so this gun fight worked fine i shot 4 and remember hitting 4

pure talon
#

i'm not sure but you may get similar results with buckshot as one bullet contains up to eight projectiles

#

and with high pen ammo you can hit multiple target lined up with a single shot

oblique mauve
#

it was a player scav looting someones body and sneaked up on them

#

i never get PMC kills theyre all player scavs

pure talon
#

what ammo were you using?

oblique mauve
#

idk it was a scav gun didnt check the ammo

#

and i already sold everything i got

but i usually use 5.45x39 BP ammo

@bold kernel Enough to make 1 super water I find

#

@bold kernel wiki says 8 hours

#

Hmmm Guess I haven't unlocked that upgrade.

blissful lagoon
bold kernel
#

but why is it 6

blissful lagoon
bold kernel
#

@blissful lagoon but it's 6

blissful lagoon
#

wdym 6

blissful lagoon
#

It takes 65/100 to make one purified

#

I'd imagine it's just 65/3 to each filter

bold kernel
#

i craft 2 waters

#

out of 1 filter

#

with like 1/100 left

blissful lagoon
#

It takes 65 durability to make one according to the wiki

bold kernel
#

ye but my friends showed me his purifier

#

and he has 8 under those water filters

blissful lagoon
#

8 what

#

8 hours?

bold kernel
#

8h

blissful lagoon
#

The filter lasts for 8 hours and 20 minutes

#

That is correct

bold kernel
blissful lagoon
#

It probably rounds up

bold kernel
#

why do i have 6

#

What are your hideout management soft skills?

#

@bold kernel 51 management 51 crafting

blissful lagoon
#

Probably 6h until you get a purified water

#

Oh wait, that's on the right

bold kernel
#

@blissful lagoon i craft purified in ~3h

blissful lagoon
#

Probably because you have three filters in it uses them faster or something

bold kernel
#

only 1st filter is used

blissful lagoon
#

Yeah it uses them faster if u have more

#

It usually takes 5hr 25 min to craft one

bold kernel
blissful lagoon
#

It takes 2.5hr less if u'r saying it takes 3 hr to craft one with three in

#

It doesn't say anywhere, you'd have to try it to know that

bold kernel
#

wait

#

shouldn't i have more than 8h?

blissful lagoon
#

It's using up the durability faster because you have more filters in.

bold kernel
#

i had 6 hours when i had 1 filter

#

and 6 when i had 3

#

8h+25%=6?

#

i should have 10 hours

blissful lagoon
#

If it produces 25% faster then it would be 6 hours

glacial abyss
#

im new to the game and need someone to help me dm call me or dm me pleae

bold kernel
#

no

blissful lagoon
#

The text there is probably wrong

#

You said it takes 3 hours to make one

#

It usually takes over 5

bold kernel
#

it produces 37.5% faster

#

that's a separate skill

blissful lagoon
#

It's just the effects of those stacking, or it's a bug

bold kernel
#

so i have 6 hour filters

#

instead of 10 hours

#

how do i fix bug

blissful lagoon
#

You shouldn't be worried about the time

#

It's about how many you make per filter

bold kernel
#

well i would be making more if they lasted 10 hours

blissful lagoon
#

65 durability = one filter

blissful lagoon
#

No

#

Durability is not time left

bold kernel
#

i am pretty sure it is

#

actually let me count it

blissful lagoon
#

If it's more efficient time-wise, then it uses up faster

If it's more efficient durability-wise, then it uses less to make a water

blissful lagoon
#

@glacial abyss give that a read

bold kernel
#

@blissful lagoon yeah i counted it up without skills

#

normal filter lasts 500 minutes

#

divided by 100 = 5

#

times 65=325

#

which is also how many minutes it takes to craft superwater

#

without any skills

#

oh

#

500 minutes (normal waterfilter)

#

-25% (should be +25%)

#

=375 minutes=6.25h=6h ronuded

#

so the skill is taking away instead of giving me more time

#

normal = 500 minutes
correct value = 625 minutes
broken value = 375 minutes

#

does anyone else have it like this?

blissful lagoon
#

What skills are you looking at

bold kernel
#

do i run a timer

#

and see for how long the filters actually last

#

i'm pretty sure they do last only 6 hours though, feels like i have to change them out pretty often

blissful lagoon
#

487.5 (Minutes that a water filter lasts with no skills) * 1.25 (Hideout Management) = 609.375 * .625 (Crafting) = 380 rounded = 6hr

bold kernel
#

uhh

#

water filter doesn't last 487.5

blissful lagoon
#

65 durability before skills

#

5hr 25min before skills

#

5hr 25min = 65% of filter

bold kernel
#

a water filter doesn't make a single superwater though

blissful lagoon
#

100% of filter = 487.5 minutes

bold kernel
#

why would they base the increase of the water filter durability on how much it takes to make a single superwater

#

instead of how much it actually lasts?

#

and why is it making it last shorter instead of longer?

blissful lagoon
#

wdym

bold kernel
#

8h 20 = 500

#

the hideout skill doesn't affect how fast the superwater crafts

#

and the crafting skill doesn't affect how long it lasts

blissful lagoon
#

But it can be translated to effective time

#

if u wanna treat durability and time the same that's how it would look

bold kernel
#

because that's how it works?

#

65 durability of a non-skilled water filter

#

is equal to 5 hours and 25 minutes

#

which is what the non-skilled purified water takes to craft

#

and you still got the 35 durability to use on the next one

blissful lagoon
#

Ye but the ratio between the two change depending on skills

#

since those skills change one but not the other

bold kernel
#

what ratio?

blissful lagoon
#

between time and durability

bold kernel
#

well then purified water crafting is not based on durability

#

but on the time the water filter has left in it

blissful lagoon
#

It's based on both

#

The ratio isn't fixed

bold kernel
#

does durability even matter?

blissful lagoon
#

Yes

bold kernel
#

i am still pretty sure it's just an indicator of how much time it has left

blissful lagoon
#

They both matter

#

they're different

bold kernel
#

isn't durability just a literal percentage of time left within the water filter

#

from 1 to 100

blissful lagoon
#

Sure you could see it like that but it's a percentage of a changing value

bold kernel
#

and how do you explain the fact

blissful lagoon
#

and the percentage itself changes

#

depending on skills

bold kernel
#

and what are you basing this on

blissful lagoon
#

So let's say u don't have anything that changes time

#

but u do have something that makes durability for efficient

#

The durability is generally 65% of the time

#

but if u make it more efficient

bold kernel
blissful lagoon
#

It lasts longer

#

mb phrased wrong

bold kernel
#

it doesn't though

#

and how do you explain the fact

#

that decreasing the default value of 500 minutes by 25%

#

gives me the exact same time (6.25h rounded up to 6h) that i have right now?

#

it's almost as if...

#

it decreased how long my water filter works

#

instead of increasing it

#

and it only does it inside the water filter

#

air filtering works fine

#

fuel works fine

blissful lagoon
#

487.5 (Minutes that a water filter lasts with no skills) * 1.25 (Hideout Management) = 609.375 * .625 (Crafting) = 380 rounded = 6hr

#

Is that clearer?

bold kernel
#

a water filter doesn't last 487.5 minutes

#

it says on the wiki it lasts 500

#

and the crafting skill doesn't affect how long it lasts

#

it only affects how long the purified water is crafted

blissful lagoon
#

okay if it's 500

#

Then it's 390.625

bold kernel
#

how

blissful lagoon
#

round it down and u still get 6 hr

bold kernel
#

maybe it's just a bug?

#

i don't know if i should report it

blissful lagoon
#

It doesn't seem like a bug

#

It probably just rounds down

bold kernel
#

then it should round to 10h

#

becaue it should increase by 25%

#

but it decreases

#

by EXACTLY 25%

#

also

#

purified water crafts exactly in 3 hours and 23 minutes

#

as it should

#

so crafting is working

#

but not hideout management

blissful lagoon
#

Hideout management applied before crafting

bold kernel
#

applied to what?

#

hideout management applies to water filters

#

not the crafting

blissful lagoon
#

They both affect it

#

You're crafting using water filters

bold kernel
#

yeah

#

as a fuel

#

i just don't get how crafting has any effect on how long the water filter lasts? i hit 51 crafting before hideout

#

and they lasted 8h

#

then it went down to 7 and now 6

blissful lagoon
#

Okay so let's think it through

#

if an item crafts faster but uses the same amount of durability

#

Then the time the durability lasts is shorter

bold kernel
#

it doesn't use the same durability

#

a single purified water takes like 51 dura

#

at least for me

blissful lagoon
#

that's after hideout management

bold kernel
#

uh yeah

#

but how does it make any sense

#

that crafting shortens the time i have to crat superwater exactly by 37.5%

#

right down to the minute

#

but it also somehow affects my water filters

blissful lagoon
#

500 (Minutes that a water filter lasts with no skills) * 1.25 (Hideout Management) = 625 * .625 (Crafting) = 390.625 rounded down = 6hr

bold kernel
#

and how come that instead of increasing the time my filters last by 25%

#

decreasing it gives me 6.25h

blissful lagoon
#

Does that make sense

bold kernel
#

which is exactly how long they last

#

what if

#

the devs just put a -

#

instead of a +

#

in the code

bold kernel
#

as i said

#

my crafting skill shortened the superwater production EXACTLY by 37.5%

blissful lagoon
bold kernel
#

but it doesn't use the same durability

blissful lagoon
#

It does, you are looking at it when you have hideout management and crafting

bold kernel
#

so a water filter always uses 65 no matter what?

blissful lagoon
#

If you don't have hideout management yes

bold kernel
#

maybe someone on the wiki put 65 there just because that's exactly how much it needed

#

cuz the page was made before the crafting skill

#

and hideout management

blissful lagoon
#

Probably

#

sometimes we're slow on updating it

#

Since it's crowdsourced

bold kernel
#

but how do you explain the fact

#

that my water filter is shortened exactly by 25%

#

which is what it should be increased by

blissful lagoon
bold kernel
#

yeah but what if you're wrong

blissful lagoon
#

Then so be it

bold kernel
#

because

#

the developers decreasing it by 25% by mistake

#

instead of increasing it by 25%

#

seems much more feasable

blissful lagoon
#

If you wanna report it as a bug then report it

#

I'm just saying it seems like it makes sense to me

bold kernel
#

wait

#

why are you multiplying the minutes a waterfilter lasts

#

by how much shortened the crafting is

#

those are two completly different things

blissful lagoon
bold kernel
#

that's just overthinking it

blissful lagoon
#

The entire question is overthinking it

bold kernel
#

not really

#

it really boils down to the fact

#

that a water filter 100hp lasts 500

#

+25% it should last 625

#

but if the developers WERE to make a mistake and make it -%

#

it would last 375

#

which rounded to hours is exactly 6h

#

also the fact that prior to leveling hideout management my crafting skill had no effect on the number displayed by the water filter

#

when, using your logic, it should

#

and has "reduction" in his mind

#

so he made it last 25% less than 25% more

blissful lagoon
#

It is increased by 25% according to that

bold kernel
#

yeah

#

and then affected by crafting, making it shorter

blissful lagoon
#

Yes

bold kernel
#

for god knows why

blissful lagoon
#

That's why

bold kernel
#

yeah

#

the item crafts faster so it uses up durability faster

#

but there's also more durability

#

25% more of it

#

so the correct equasion would be

blissful lagoon
bold kernel
#

500 (default water filter time) + 25% (hideout management) = 625 minutes = 10h 25 mins
325 (default water crafting time) -37.5% (crafting time reduction) = 203 minutes = 3h 23 mins (CORRECT)

blissful lagoon
#

They both change it

bold kernel
#

and how do you know that

blissful lagoon
#

The second message

bold kernel
#

i feel like you're just really overcomplifying things

#

ok so

#

it should use up 32.48 durability

#

if it worked correctly

blissful lagoon
#

Alright, what doesn't make sense in that math

bold kernel
#

the fact that the crafting skill affects the time the water filter works

#

even though it already affects how fast the purified water crafts

blissful lagoon
#

Alright

#

So here's the crafting skill

bold kernel
#

yes

#

it decreases the time

#

a purified water needs to craft

#

to 3h 23 mins

blissful lagoon
#

So if the durability usage doesn't change

bold kernel
#

it does

#

my water filters lasted longer

blissful lagoon
#

Assume you don't have hideout management

bold kernel
#

ok

blissful lagoon
#

Then the durability shouldn't change

#

Right?

#

It should still use 65

#

To make one water

bold kernel
#

no?

blissful lagoon
#

Okay, why not?

bold kernel
#

it should take 3 hours 23 minutes (how long it takes to craft)

#

off of the 8 hours 20 minutes the water filter has within it

blissful lagoon
#

Let's just stick to our assumptions

#

Not numbers

#

Why would crafting change the durability usage

bold kernel
#

because it takes shorter to craft

#

therefore takes less durability?

#

uuuh This is all kinda lost on me... would this be good for DM's?

blissful lagoon
#

It might be useful for other people

bold kernel
#

i gotta go take a piss

#

back in a sec

#

feel free to write

blissful lagoon
#

This is the TLDR

#

Does that make sense to u?

bold kernel
#

@bold kernel my filters last 25% shorter instead of lasting 25% longer

#

6 hours 25 minutes

#

rounded to 6 hours

#

pretty sure the devs just mistook a + for a - but i wanna make sure before i report

#

@blissful lagoon tell me one thing

#

what is the origin of the number 65

#

and can you apply your math

#

to vanilla values

blissful lagoon
#

65 is the vanilla value

bold kernel
#

yes

blissful lagoon
#

Unless they changed it then it takes 65 durability to make a water

bold kernel
#

uhh

#

the durability is 100

#

and it takes 65 durability off of the water filter by default

#

to make a purified water

blissful lagoon
#

Right

#

Is there confusion there?

bold kernel
#

yeah, should the hideout management skill make it so that it takes less durability to make a water

blissful lagoon
#

One filter has the ability to make 1.5 water before skills

bold kernel
#

since there's literally more time to the water filter?

#

what is 1/100 water filter equal to in time

blissful lagoon
#

Yes, it makes the durability last longer

#

So because hideout management makes it last 25% longer

#

u can multiply the time the filter lasts by 1.25 to get how much it lasts after hideout management

#

And since crafting makes it last shorter

blissful lagoon
#

You multiply by .625

bold kernel
#

crafting doesn't make it last shorter though

#

it only makes the time crafting a purified water last shorter

bold kernel
#

can you apply your math to the vanilla values then?

blissful lagoon
#

So assume it takes 65 durability to craft a water, that 65 durability would last .65x the time

#

Does that make sense?

bold kernel
#

it doesn't take 65 durability

#

it takes minutes

#

how about we take this durability thing out of the equasion

#

because you seem to go back to it alot

dull oxide
#

pee pee

bold kernel
#

when it literally just means how long the waterfilter needs to work for

#

the water doesn't use durability to craft

#

it uses the remaining time within a water filter

#

which is 8h 20min by default

#

how about i explain my math

blissful lagoon
#

Sure

bold kernel
blissful lagoon
#

I can try to point out any errors I see

bold kernel
#

which, by default, takes 5 hours and 25 minutes to craft a purified water

blissful lagoon
#

325 minutes, sure

bold kernel
#

this is how long it takes to craft a purified water

#

if you subtract the 37.5%

blissful lagoon
#

If you didn't have hideout management sure

bold kernel
#

wait

#

you don't even know the skills

#

?

blissful lagoon
#

I don't know which is which

#

there's too many lol

bold kernel
#

ok so

#

a water filter lasts 8 hours 20 minutes, yeah?

blissful lagoon
#

Yes

bold kernel
#

500 minutes

blissful lagoon
#

Ye

bold kernel
blissful lagoon
#

Yes

bold kernel
#

so this is how long it should last

#

yeah?

blissful lagoon
#

Without crafting yes

#

Now apply crafting

bold kernel
#

i applied it

#

to the CRAFTING

#

of the purified water

#

and i applied the usage reduction

#

to the USAGE

#

of the water filter

blissful lagoon
#

Which looks like?

bold kernel
#

which looks like 625 minutes water filter

#

and 203 minutes for crafting a purified water

#

usage reduced by usage reduction skill (hideout management)
crafting reduced by crafting reduction skill (crafting)
