a crafter idea

[c_hieter]

being a loner crafter has been a grind.
I can build anything (I have the skills), but just need prints.
maybe if I can successfully dismantle 5 or 10 of a product, and successfully obtain at least one component per attempt, unsuccessful attempts don't count, I either get a print or that item in my fix boy.
in my real world, I build/fix things.
I learn more from taking things apart and understanding how they work then I do from prints.
just an idea.

keep up the good work Killgore.
hope you got thick skin.
the anti-dev rants on 2238 really pissed me off.
more than likely made by folks who didn't toss some money to maintaining the infrastructure.

You idea is good, but you should be able to buy BPs from NPC with a text dialogue (like books) after successfully dismantling 100 weapons. I think that should be fair. The prices of this BPs should be 4-5x higher than BSs in merchants.

a hundred?
I have spent a week looking for combat armor and a minigun.
I have lots of vanilla combat armor (maybe 15), but no miniguns.
if I could craft combat armor and make the roll for REAL unique, I may go after npcs that have miniguns, if I could get something out of it.
other than dead.
instead of 100 items why dont we make it 5000 repair as a condition.

sorry but im not raging.
just making what I feel to be a valid point.
and put a point on it.

ca and ca helmet are rare bp.
i know few places where u can find them

BP's should stay as they are, with your solution it wouldn't be possible for them to be rare.

but your real-world learning example could be a good change:
---> lessen xp from crafting and boost xp from dismantling

I now have about 50 combat armor and 3 miniguns.
the miniguns are now avenger style, but I still have no prints.
at the very least make these prints more likely to be found in a footlocker.
I get douched too many times by pricks with high level armor/weapons and have very little options to better myself.
I still think after successfully dismantling  5 or 20 of an item, you get it in your fixboy, IF you have the skills.
I guess that getting a print for a successful dismantling may put too many of these items in play.
but there are already butt loads of these items in play.
getting these items in my fixboy by dismantling would help even the field.
I make good shit.
