I'm curious to see what others are finding. My inital findings:
- Amount of quarters, screws, nails is too high, would suggest to cut them down by 75%.
- Metal boards, spikes, handles are too heavy. Even one find can put you into full encumberance.
- 22 out of 50 find nothing. I'd say that 40 nothings out of 50 attempts would be fine.
I'm getting lots of metal/plastic boards/poles/studs/posts/sheets. Maybe one in every 10 scavenges vs. 1 in 100 prior to this patch. About to fill up the bins on my tribe's junk piles. These are mostly so heavy that it is hard to shlep them back to the storage area. I recommend putting boards/poles/studs/posts as uncommon but not rare results in metal/plastic sorting. Make sheets fairly common results from metal/plastic sorting.
I'm finding lots of metal handles and metal blocks now. I haven't found any old saws, knife blades, bats or other weapon parts.
There is still too much leather, but now I'm finding stuff other than found and patchwork regularly--suede, micro suede, mink, lambskin, patent.
I did find one rubber scrap and 5 zippers and a few feathers, so these are back in the tables but not nearly as common as they used to be.
Similar results after several attempts in diffrerent zones. At 100 scav, getting metal and plastic handles and and posts, etc. Some nails, screws, currency, and coin. However, NO recipes!
