It doesn't really have anything to with the economy. It's that it's a ridiculous process to actually exchange ammo.
I'm fine with it having reasonable limits...I don't need thousands of ammo exchanged every day, but if I can get a couple hundred "free" rounds out of this, great!
But right now, the interface is so stupidly tedious, it's just not even worth your time.

So we have 2 mostly useless ammo machines now, great.
Yeah they nerfed the hell out of the ammo converter because by making it a limited timed item it would put other players at a disadvantage, also would mess up player economy a bit if everyone stopped buying ammo from other players. Most of my vendor revenue comes from selling ammo. They would have been better off just not even including it IMO
If the game balance or economy is best if you don’t have players converting ammo thats fine, whatever, then just don’t have that be a thing. Don’t add something that people want and then make it shitty and annoying to make people not use it.

They should buff the ammo munitions workshop so it’s worth controlling to get ammo, but it isn’t really worth it for what it gives. But yeah they should have just not added the converter since it’s pretty useless as is, the exchange rates alone aren’t really worth it not to mention how tedious it is

You can use it at other players camps.
Hopefully it doesn't take months to fix it, no reason it should be this much of a pain in the ass to use.
After all my whining upthread, I capped a single Scorchbeast today and got three pieces of SB meat right off the bat. Went and made myself another Meatball Grinder, debating whether to laugh or cry.
As an aside, if anyone needs to take out some legendaries for their dailies, the Watoga High School event always seems to spawn one or two.

Fix is coming soon, they’re going to add option for multiples of 10 up to 100 so should be up to 100 times faster thankfully
So I decided to check out Fallout 76 since it dropped on gamepass recently and...holy shit it's a mess there? I'm not sure if the Steam version is just different or what, but the game gets super weird about running off any drive other than the one where Windows is installed and the framerate is absolutely terrible (I have a 1080 Ti and it seemed to be running at a stuttery 40ish fps). Anyone else having similar issues?

Gonna guess that's some kind of issue with the gamepass version. I've played it both through the Bethesda store and Steam and it runs fine for me installed on a non-boot drive (I have Windows on an m2 drive and FO76 on a plain old platter drive).
I've had the same issue with the Gamepass stuff and installing other games. I had to do a series of assbackward steps to get it to recognize my external SSD so I could install games to it.
I have the default harddrive that came with my laptop, and an external SSD that I run all my games off of, and it runs perfectly fine.
But unfortunately I've heard a few other things that have made the Gamepass launch less than smooth.

Are you running it fullscreen? The engine locks the framerate to like 30fps if you’re running windowed or borderless.
My god I thought getting fallout 4 on my brand new pc and installing it to ssd would improve load times. But they’re still absolutely ridiculous, 30-60 seconds or more for some transitions.
I’ve also noticed that it doesn’t give me the image to scroll around with the tip for these load screens, just a black screen with the small loading icon
I’ve tried all the fixes, disabling cloud saving, setting uncapped frame rates, running in windowed borderless mode, still nothing. It loads my saved game in like 5 seconds but going from an interior to exterior is 60 seconds at best with no tip screen and picture to indicate that it should be a long load
Edit: ok got it working with a mod, hope the mod doesn’t disable achievements tho
SCORE PSA: Double daily SCORE starts tomorrow, the 23rd.
Here's a chart that approximates progress, not counting double EXP or SCORE events.
It's worth noting that the extra two daily challenges (up to 9) have just been confirmed to be a permanent addition. That means you can probably get away with being a lower rank than on the sheet, which I think is still assuming 7 dailies. Worth waiting for it to update its numbers before anyone panics that they're behind.
ETA: Got rid of massive chart image quote, sorry. Here's a link straight to the sheet in recompense.
Sweet. That spreadsheet is awesome. Honestly, with the extra bonuses coming in, if you're playing daily you shouldn't be hard pressed to hit 100, which is nice.
I just hit level 50 last night, with a few weeklies to go still.

Think I'm at 47, with one of this week's weeklies done. Hoping with the bonus challenges I can get away with ignoring most of the NW ones and still come out about where I need to be.
Soon to be dipping my toes into sole proprietorship
Is that the Secret Service armour? I finally finished Wastelanders and started getting treasury notes, so...is it worth saving for? Picked up the Grocers backpack mod and that saved me about 60-70lb of carry weight, too.
So the challenge with the Secret Service armor is not the bullion to get the recipes, it's the constant rolling with legendary modules to get the pieces that you really want.

I just got the secret service chest piece so I could use the Jet Pack, which is currently I think the only non-power armor jet pack

Just the helmet in that shot, the rest of it is a mix of Urban and Forest scout. I run around with the Secret Service torso for the jet pack most of the time, but I like the scout armor better for aesthetics.

The new BOS themed daily raids are live in the test server for PC players. There’s different ranks for time completed, with different random modifiers for enemy types. They should arrive for everyone with the next big patch which should come sometime in September

Can you get gold bullion from them?
Even if its a lil, hell, I'd do it.
I only play on PS4 so don’t know exactly, but there are new camp item rewards such as one that removes all diseases, the new Season is also in the test server but you can’t unlock any of the rewards. There’s also new daily ops public teams which increase XP, also the way the missions run the more players near the objective the faster it’s completed and the higher tier reward, also guaranteed legendary drops. I’m assuming they’re going to change rewards by the time it hits public servers though

Looks like they're adding some stuff from the first season to gold bullion vendors too, which is nice.
You can get the ammo converter and chicken coop with gold now.
Enjoying the Secret Service armor so far - got the chest piece and a limb, and the t-notes for another limb later today. No jetpack yet, but you can't have everything. Dislike the random rolls with legendary modules generally, but also I guess it's kind of fun, so...call that even. The DR is amazing compared to the scout/combat armour I had before, though. Feeling properly tanky.
Does the helmet do anything though? 1250 bullion for an aesthetic seems like..a lot.

Helmet has focused lighting instead of using Pipboy light (like the Miner Helmet) and looks cool, isnt good for anything else and yeah the price is dumb.
I still got it because I wanted a non crap looking helmet with focus light, though.

Is the Clean Sink worth anything?

Fallout is so ripe for this.

I think it should be set in Texas. A Fallout Western. Robots with 10 gallon hats saying, "Howdy, partner!"

As far as I can see, you need to remember not to be logged in over reset, or have last logged out via Nuclear Winter prior to reset to avoid this.
A frustrating start to the day!

Yeah, had that happen as well. Only had 2 dailies available >_<
I logged out to add a support ticket to the pile, pre-reset, and honestly, I’m now a little afraid to log back in.

Also, had this drop, and there was only one possible name for it.
"Cork? Why would we need cork? What kind of fucking idiot told you to do that?"
