Hasn't the survivor surpassed the limitations of rationality yet? You can make nuclear powered cars, install bionics into yourself, mutate into things that aren't just a sterile human, and do it all after a week of reading.

yeah but NOT CERAMICS!

It's not really a matter of whether it makes that much sense anyways, the time and interest of the devs/modders has basically always been the deciding factor of what and how quickly something gets added.

[n9103]

Ceramics don't really belong in (melee) weapons anyway. They're light and strong, sure, but they're brittle, and anything more than a slight flex means a shattered weapon.
Additionally, they're quite susceptible to concussive forces, again, causing (or at least hastening) shattering.
Ceramic knives are great in situations where they're not going to be put under undue stress, like in a lab or kitchen setting.
To top it off, there's no repairing something make of ceramic. It's either ok, or it's effectively worthless.
The only way a ceramic knife could be feasible in combat is if you're packing a few dozen of them and expect to replace the knife with each hit.

I could be convinced that ceramics as something like barrel lining would be feasible, but even that would be a hard sell.

[Descan]

Nah man just stick some carbon nano tubes in there, s'all good.

[jocan2003]

Ceramic lining around a nano-tube core? Or carbon nano-tube around ceramic core o.O? im all confused now.... hehe

[Darkmere]

Need more hermetically sealed titanium sarcophagi.

You can make nuclear powered cars

Using factory made plutonium power cells and reactors.

install bionics into yourself

Using self-installing CBM packs.

mutate into things that aren't just a sterile human

Using alien goo magical thing.

Ok, how bout making high powered energy rifles with nothing but a vacutainer and a collection of common circuit components?

[Sheb]

Uh, don't remember than one. But do note that the survivor is unable to create even normal rifles and guns. Precision manufacturing is not something he does.

Still, I don't see what ceramics would add, or how the survivor would be able to manufacture them (unless with some kind of specialized machine, like the cvd machine that let you diamond-coat blades).

Anyway, I generally think that crafting stuff is too easy and would like to see more emphasis on foraging and scavenging.

According to fluff(ceramic shard description, if I recall) it's implied that the CVD machine would allow that.

[Sindain]

I agree, I don't think ceramics are going to add a ton to the game.

But yeah, NX-17 Charge Rifles can be made with a vacutainer, 8 amplifier circuits, and 8 circuit boards. I always thought that one was a  bit silly.

[beorn080]

Find some wreckage.

Notice Zombie grenadier nearby.

Never fought one, should be fun for my bionic assassin.

Cue teleporting manhacks. The teargas ones that it started with weren't bad. The instagib c4 ones took my health on all parts to red and my pain to 331.

I think something is wrong with the grenadier manhack spawn code.

[Darkmere]

Nah, that's just how they work. Gotta kill em fast from range, or shoot down the drones, I think.

[beorn080]

The man hacks literally appear next to you when the grenadier opens their pouch? From over a map tile away? He was at vision range for my survivor.
