Badge crafting overhaul

Now I fully agree and support the idea suggested. However, I don't think most of you realize that it's not that easy to do for NG. They did reveal earlier that the non-randomness of crafting was a surprise to them, so I'm pretty sure the game has no idea what the next badge is going to be. So in order to give this information, they would need to create a whole new module with the crafting map, taking into account type fails, jumps and most importantly badge rerolls, which adds another semi-randomness to this whole thing. 

So I wouldn't hold my breath.

Eliminate randomness from badge crafting altogether and only give out the highest fixed rate capped % badges +the bonus for everyone and help level the playing field. You will still make money on the reroll positions and bonuses. Ridiculous how much you have to waste or follow some complicated community made flow chart just to get a good freaking legendary badge. Greed, is one of the main reasons why people quit playing the game.

Charts not that complicated, and I'm down to leave things as they are and reward the efforts of the guys who took the time to gather data, compile data, present data, streamline previously presented data in easy to understand bubblegum charts, and even make instructional videos for the few still scratching their heads.

Leave it, and it rewards their efforts and rewards the players that they've reached and teached (taught).

Yes

There should be a display showing what the bonus and the odd/even orientation of the next badge will be. These are always guaranteed fixed values. NG only has to display them. NG doesn't need to change anything to the organizational flow of how these results are ordered which is based upon the results of the recipes used. The next badge bonus and orientation is ALWAYS predetermined. It just needs to be visible to each and every player, all the time.

They currently show the type recipes in a list.
There is an in game explanation of the %chance of that recipe happening which even the most dense players can figure out increasing rarity of components means increasing %chance with desired recipe.
Now they just need to show what the next badge will result in with bonus and odd/even orientation.

Trifecta would be completed. Players can badge craft in the most reasonably simple system possible. Players who get sciencey or players who get spendy, or both, will be able to create better sets. But at least the playing field will be evened out as sensibly as possible @Lexia

I say this as someone who doesn't actually need the update. I'm happy to explain the system to anyone. Pop over onto the #badges channel on the community discord server.

No, badge crafting hasn't changed and no new bonus conditions were added.

Only the original survivor traits are still present for trait bonus conditions. Ruthless was the only addition long ago when it came out.

This chart is still correct and there are couple of different updated versions on Discord for easier crafting/tracking.

@Lexia or if you want to simplify the badge bonus situation, just add a few % to all (no bonus) type badges, until its equal or 1 less than bonus would be. Examples below. 

Damage (no bonus)
- current max 20
- new max 21-22%

Critical Damage (no bonus)
- current max 24
-new max 27-28%

Damage Reduction (no bonus) 
- current max 23
-new max 25-26%

Health (no bonus) 
- current max 25
- new max 28-29%

Critical Chance (no bonus) 
- current max 23
- new max 25-26%

Bump these and you'll eliminate the need for future traits to be incorporated.

You can even add in a Building upgrade if you want to make us spend some tomatoes on Craftsman 3.

Most likely because it's not something that will generate a lot of revenue, so NG doesn't care much about it. Backburner.

They can always create Craftsman Level 3 though …….

You've gave the same answer for the same question half a year ago so "near future" is questionable

@Lexia hope you consider some of my many suggestions. At least this one - it requires minimum effort and will be VERY beneficial to players:
