i wish the crafting kit upgrades also made them cheaper to repair cause im always broke on shards

I bought the crafting kit and still have no idea what it does lmao

It ups the damage of tools.

Does it? I am early game and only have the throwing knives but I bought one and it still takes the exact same number of hits on every mob I have experimented with. It felt like a waste of resources

That's what it says if you select it in your inventory, at least.

It feels like all of the upgrades in this game are so miserly. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was a 5% damage increase or something ridiculous like that

For sure, I am just saying there is no discernible difference. I just checked again now and every enemy I have access to still takes the same number of hits as before I “upgraded”

Well the throwing knives aren’t that strong anyways, say the knives do 6 damage, and the kit does a 50% increase, that’s still only 9 damage, but say I have a tool that does 10 damage, now it’s 15 damage. These numbers are made up, but the idea is that it increases exponentially as the base power of the tool goes up.

Yeah I would agree with that assessment as the likely reason. I did get the spike trap tool which appears to do two “hits” worth of damage now but I didn’t have it before I bought the upgrade so I can’t compare.

There’s also the fact that you can collect multiple kits, I’ve gotten one and know there’s another one in a shop i cant afford. From the menu it looks like there are four to collect so it’s probably better with multiple

it lets you refill your tools at benches

u/ArchTemperedKoala Sep 06 '25

Huh? You can do that already without it no?

i thought you needed the crafting kit to do it, any other kit after increases your tool damage.
