We could add a new type of bundle in the game. This type of bundle is good to be used on the go. Maybe also change the recipe to 2 or 3 ropes instead of 1. The current bundling wrap would no longer halt food spoilage completely but food inside of it would spoil more slowly, although a bit worse than an icebox or insulate pack (25% as opposed to 50%). Alternatively, Klaus could drop his loot in the form of gift wraps from Winter’s Feast (more suitable for the xmas theme even) that also come undone when unwrapped. The abundance of wax papers is one of the reasons this item is overpowered. Klaus' wax papers must come undone when unwrapped. I would say that most people think that a possible rebalance should be based on giving durability to the wax paper or make the bundle recipe more expensive (2 honeycombs or whatever). Throughout your reading, just please bear in mind that these are just my ideas (actually they are not even 100% mine), and the main purpose of this is to discuss the subject and not enforce my opinion on anybody. I would appreciate if you could take the time to read all of it, and then help one another brainstorm a solution to this. The challenge here is to find a middle ground where everyone is happy. Some people love them, some people hate them. I’m aware that this is a very controversial item (easily the most controversial mechanic currently, maybe even more than disease). Ok, now getting onto the main subject of this post: Bundling wraps. To sum up, it was a great revisit to an old item and a simple and effective tweak by Klei.
It is also not a substitute to the ice box (despite being basically a portable ice box) or ice chester, since it can't preserve ice nor cool down a thermal stone. In comparison to the piggyback, it has less slots and is considerably more expensive, but preserves food and doesn't slow you down. I really like that, even with the buff, it didn't affect the piggyback, which is good.
It's a natural upgrade to the backpack now, although I feel like it needs to be either no longer flammable or cheaper (2 gears perhaps, or 1). I think the insulated pack got a nice boost and now it feels like a viable option. So please don't dismiss this post before reading at least a few lines.įirst of all, I wanna start on a positive note by thanking Klei for buffing the insulated pack. Hello DST Community! Let me start this by saying that, despite having barely any posts under this account, I have nearly 10k hours in this game (I do have a life, I swear).
