I noticed that reloaded ammo is always worse than factory loads, with 10% higher dispersion and 10% lower damage. Curious as to the rationale behind this. I only shoot with friends, but according to them handloaded ammo is generally superior to factory loads.

As there’s no solid numbers one way or the other, it’s set to make the (limited, scavengeable) factory loads better than the (unlimited, craftable) hand loads. It also leaves the door open for better or specialized hand loads to be added in the future, perhaps with higher tool and/or skill requirem…

I think that depends on how it’s done. In game I imagine the process used leads to a less precise bullet being made along with inferior sealing or something. But yeah I don’t get why there are very few custom handloads. Edit:note I have zero experience of actual handloading with the most knowledge …

Aside from getting an assortment of parts are the factory machines from vaults going to be useful?

No, that kind of thing tends to be pretty specialized, so repurposing them is difficult to impossible, plus you somehow need to supply power for them. There’s an intermediate set of tools you’d find in a “machine shop” like lathes, drills, metal breaks, etc that are intended for general-purpose mac…

As in more tool qualities, higher tool qualities or something else? With that said then what are the factory machines at vaults supposed to be producing? As for powering them well the main issue with any kind of machining tool would be more of figuring out how to get it to where you may be able to i…

Sounds like an interesting and logical expansion to crafting. Is there some problem preventing those from being added in, or is it just a matter of someone writing in item definitions and crafting recipes?

The only in-code feature they need that they don’t have is support for powered furninture that acts like a specialized tool. Most of the pieces are present, but it needs to be stitched together.

A handload and a reload are two entirely diffrrent things unless its a shotgun shell.

is already 9mm +P and +P+. guessing eventually we can get things like that for other ammos.

Well the difference is if you have ever actually made your own bullets. Your hands and that press are not as precise as the machines and people that make them in a shop. You can be pretty damn close though. But I am of mind to agree with hand loaded bullets in that exists in the discrepancy we have …

Well, I would think with the real world model focus you would default that reloads are similar enough in quality. Yeah, I can accept that this is a lower skill reload recipe that isn’t the same quality. Maybe an automated press that takes a higher level of skill to build or configure? I might wo…
