if you also have the mechanics tool kit, it helps you fix things that tiny bit better and when you finish lvl3.3 you can fix all vehicles to 100%, use greens bit and it also tells you you better results when using xxxx type of tool

About the furnace... Read the first book and tried to melt like 4 times. Failed everytime? Any thoughts?

Pretty much everything is random number based so stuff like this can happen. I've had the same thing happen with engine parts studied, 8 engine screws and I only succeeded on studying one of them.

with the furnace its a 50=50 chance of success, it doesn't take too many successful attempts to do each level, another time you might 4 good attempts in a row. you just have to persevere,

Yes, a few goes and you are there. After that the mats needed are a lot harder to come by

Roger! thx all! Good thing my base is at dead forest Cinder for Cerment

Feels like 50% chance in Origins is like betting only on black in roulette at a online casino...

Players on the server I play have said that the progress bars are filling quicker than pre 1.8.2 - anyone else noticed this?

Medical is still taking forever but im also not going out of my way to bleed. 3 bandages with cloth so far and only 1 experience gained message. And the bar didnt really move at all.

Yes, my medical skills is only halfway on 1.1 for both bandage and painkillers - that is going to take me ages.

I was more referring to the mechanical side of things - players are getting the books more regularly and levelling up from fitting parts more quickly.

I wish the moderators would give us some more info on these

That portion seems to go a bit faster but it seems like i get less parts from taking stuff apart tho. May just be RNG not on my side.
