MamaKanga Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I know this idea will open up a can of worms, please just don't destroy me if it is a bad or ridiculous idea. I was talking with a friend today and she plays "that other popular mmorpg game" and we are talking about cooking and recipes. Has anyone considered making a place in the base where characters can "cook" recipes that would increase health or stamina and could be carried in the salvage area? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biostem Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 TBH, I don't see why they couldn't add recipes to craft inspirations. That being said, there is already a system similar to what you described: https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Workshop 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oubliette_Red Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Not that you can increase health or stamina with it but the Empowerment Station in your base can load you up on numerous buffs. https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Empowerment_Station#Available_Empowerments 3 1 Dislike certain sounds?

Yes Health and Stamina are not directly affected but if you increase all your armor and all sorts of other buffs protecting health and endurance…..

Captain Fabulous Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Also no defense buffs IIRC. The P2W vendor buffs also give valuable stats but they are prohibitively expensive after level 1. But it is one way a squishy can get full mez protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, the idea of creating a bit of a look to it, like a chemistry set or kitchen, would be appreciated. It's a bit cold and sterile to just go to it, put the required elements in, and get the effects requested. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Shocker Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 As others have pointed out you have some options to create buffs (and debuffs IIRC) but they look pretty... dull. I love the idea of jazzing up those stations to give them some character. I'd also like to point out that ideas can be interesting because of their madness 👺🧞♂️🦏 1 The Ghost Slaying Axe.

I just threw together a mystic empowerment station in my base real quick to give it some flair. I don't use tech items very much because I hate listening to them, but the same can be done to spice it up. 1 Dislike certain sounds? Silence/Modify specific sounds.

And they can be held in inspiration storage https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Inspiration_Storage So both of those are already covered, but I do understand how these "items" are crafted in other games.

Perhaps, instead of tying an empowerment station to a single item, a generic disk or square could be developed that could be overlayed with any element or combination of elements in the base builder. Clicking on the vertical cylindrical or cubical field that passes through these objects would trigger access to the empowerment station. That way base builders can have maximum creativity, hopefully without forcing the development team to spend much time creating items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraAlt Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 2 hours ago, Techwright said: Perhaps, instead of tying an empowerment station to a single item Well, all the workstation pictures I posed have workstations in them. The one in the soda machine is turned around backwards. I agree that the empowerment station is a bit harder to hide. At the same time, I think the point is that anyone that enters a base should be able to figure out where the basic amenities are. If you hide them too much, then people won't be able to use them and go looking for other bases that make access easy instead. 1 If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore.
