BossDeveault Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 It only works during the aurora and it is used to repair clothes but faster than sewing kis and fish tackles. It also need to be refilled with lines. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilsonaka Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 That would be interesting. However, I'd like to gently point out: since you'd spend a lot of time waiting for an aurora that you would need for this, I do believe it'd be faster to just use the conventional methods. Now, that being said, if it were to allow you to craft animal hide clothing at a time discount, I could see it as being useful to some. Keep the suggestions coming!

ToAsT Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Instead of this, I think they should simply make the higher levels of Mending easier to obtain or add additional ways of obtaining skill points (like crafting animal items or head/hand wraps). It takes a ridiculous number of repair jobs just to get from level 4 to 5 as it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be a early game tool since like you said it is just simpler to use a sewing kit but more of a late game tool for when you have used all your sewing kit.

In fact, since the recent update I decided to add Faithful Cartographer to the goal, and despite already being skill level 4 in mending when I made that decision, it's clear I'll finish FC long before I reach skill 5 in mending. It's ridiculous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ridiculous. I was doing the same in this run. I just got it on the 200th day on pilgrim after depleting ML, MT, and raiding parts of the other regions of their cloth items - this after finding old clothing scattered around to repair, wandering for hours in blizzards, intentionally getting mauled by several bears, and dropping down from cliffs. It's completely insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odizzido Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I am all for the aurora having more of an impact. I quite like the idea. I would be all for ovens and other simple electrical items working too. It would give the aurora a special feeling. More so. I already like it and it feels cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicManiac Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Personally, I'm good with the skill progression. I agree it's slow to get to level 5, but the bonuses are all pretty considerable. In my current run I think I'm still only at level 3... but with a sewing kit my "chance of success" is already 95%. Another way I like to boost the skill progression is to always leave behind the best "back up clothing" I find in each region and make sure it all gets mended up before I leave the region for the next. This way I can do more mending that I wouldn't need to do if I only bothered with mending the gear I'm wearing. All things considered, I guess I just don't see a need for an aura powered sewing machine. Especially considering how infrequently one would be able to use it... I don't think it would provide much benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odizzido Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I don't think it would be of much benefit either. I like it more for the cool factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
