Tool augments

[Evoshade]

We have slingbow and bomb augments.
Now why not have a Axe, Hammer and shovel Augment?
I would totally craft a devastating damage 3 augment for my hammer, axe and shovel. Or a action speed one.
Or maybe a AoE augment?
A durability loss prevention augment.

They would have to have a huge amount of uses/charges.

I would actually prefer augments over forge if this would be implemented. Abd prolly thats the problem here. But i like the idea!

Engaging and Thrilling - A system that challenges players to think on their feet, alongside have a chance to luck out and create something truly awesome with a smaller input than going through the usual progression systems. For those wanting to play it safe with fixed costs and fixed output they can create Augments and follow material progression.

Feels like going in that direction?

Forging Balance Changes on Testing

Hey everyone. Two weeks ago we proposed a set of balance changes to the forge. The response from the community was mixed and highlighted some issues. Based on this feedback we’ve iterated our proposal and adjusted the plan. This iteration includes radical changes to the Quirks to make them desirable, alongside more practical requests such as Reactive Lamella dropping on level 3 Lush and Coal worlds. Goals of the Centraforge First off, I think it is important we establish the original goals of…

I like this idea too!
Tool augments should have 2000 charges! Or maybe depends on material of tool, 2000 for gem, 1500 titanium? …
Let tools have 3 augment slots!
And 5-10 levels of augments

Just have the tool augment last until the tool is destroyed…?

[Evoshade]

Mmm sounds good. And maybe destroy the augment when plugging a new one in too. So you can change them when you want to.

Why tools augment should have more use than slingbow augment for example?

I’m fine with tools augment as long they are on par with other augment.

[Oggieogham]

Well clearly the slingbow augment should have more uses!

I don’t really like augments to much due to the cost which seems to be insane for what you get from it.

324 thermal sacs for 50, 30 use bomb augments,

1500 uses in total, thats about 4 or 5 bomb throws per sac.

At least with forging, what you did to the item, remains for the lifespan of that item.

I would either like to see augments made cheaper, or last alot longer.

[Krollbar]

I often forget augments even exist.

Tried augments once in EA. Not since.
