Medical Kit Fabricator - Suggested Change

ShroudofDark

I wasn't entirely sure whether or not this should be placed in suggestions or under a bug report, because it involves an exploitation. As of now when you build a Medical Kit Fabricator it will start off with a kit. This is great when you are in quick need of a fix up and did not have one before. However, what you are able to do after you pick up the kit from the Fabricator is deconstruct it to get the material back and then build it again to get another kit. Rinse and repeat, then you basically have a bunch of free kits without having to wait for the time in between for them to generate and I don't believe it was intended to be this way.

I wanted to give the suggestion of changing the Fabricator to not start off with the kit, because as of now it still is resource efficient as you get a free kit without having to get the resources to make one other then for the Fabricator. If the Fabricator doesn't start with a kit in it you will have to wait for 30 minutes before you get a kit and it becomes pointless deconstruct it unless you need to move it or really need the materials that you used to make it.

That's an exploit that will likely get looked into.

I find the whole concept of the medkit fabricator absurdly broken. All you need is power and you get an infinite supply of medkits. Shouldn't it make more sense that you load the the fabricator with resources and the creates a large-but finite-number of medkits.

To be fair though the whole purpose is to make it easier on players so they aren't always going out of their way to find the materials to heal up a short bit. Also the 30 minute timer doesn't count outside of you playing, so it is a considerable wait when you aren't playing the game like hours upon end. The timer also doesn't start counting until the fabricator is empty.

Now on the other hand, yes it does seem broken in the sense you are basically getting infinite supply as long as you have power. Though, at the same time, outside of hardcore, we have the ability to also just kill ourselves at the moment and get all the health back, if not faster than the medkit.
