So... i'm okay with all this technology... that reading says because a war we cant have ANY type of weapon excluding survival knife but... how they KNOW we have weapons?
So, Why we cant craft anything with our hands? Something like a ... spear... that is very simple to do... a stick attached with vines and a knife... that can be useful as an arrow too...
well... thats all, i was wondering about crafting survival things with hands
What community thinks about this? is an issue? or maybe our character doesnt know how to make fire with 2 sticks?

Even using the PRAWN arms, is done with your hands.
And the Fabricator needs to be turned on and the resources added to work... are done with your hands.
To be fair... do YOU know how to make a fire or tie a rock to the end of a stick?
Well...yeah. But I know I'm an oddball.
That said, though, when given a technological solution to a problem, most people are hesitant - if not actively resistant - to go low-tech. If you can magic a knife out of thin air (or just about), the majority can't think non-linearly enough to convert it into a spear. Call it a failure of imagination.
But, more than that, it would end up breaking the no weapons/minimal lethality ethos of the game's design, and that's probably the big reason we haven't seen it, nor are we likely to.
yes, sir
I think.
However it should be easy to connect knife with a pipe with I dunno rope or duct tape. Such spear would not be great though, but good enough still.
I think that devs should add a speargun/harpoon rifle at least. These are fishing tools, not weapons.
Well... so's s rifle, using the same logic. Excellent hunting tool. Also weapon. Most hunting tools are (knife, spear, bow & arrow, crossbow, rifle) good weapons as well.
The PDA mentions that weapons were removed from the basic blueprints because of the massacre on Obraxis Prime. This is common knowledge now.
But, who's to say that our character wasn't in that massacre?
And seeing something like your fellow co-workers and passengers getting murdered would give anyone some sort of PTSD.
So, our character could very likely know how to make a spear/harpoon/whatever he wants, but he chooses not to, due to him being mentally constricted.
TL;DR: How would you feel about weapons after seeing people killed by them?
Stands to reason; has anyone ever manged to convince a boar or even a deer to just surrender?
THE PDA WATCHES EVERYTHING.... IT WILL KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE DONE. Just see for yourself how much info it has about you...
well... i think when you are starving, you think a lot... and you have a stick, a stone, and some vine rope... Hunger is the mother of ingenuity, u know
Today, everybody who is assigned to work in any remote area have to pass at least basic survival training. I doubt this procedure will change in the future because these rules haven't appeared out of nowhere: they were paid for by human lives.
PS. When me and my friends were kids, we were making crossbows. Just for fun. We had no internet back then nor we had any manual how to make one. We made them because making bows no longer entertained us.
I doubt that a grown-up engineer will find tinkering harder than a bunch of elementary school kids.
No, the alterra crew was not massacred - they EXECUTED the massacre. That's why the weapons were removed - they didn't want it to ever happen again, or people go around killing everything.
My conclusion:
Devs = Alterra CEOs
This is not mine video of course.
However, one of my final designs was a spring-powered crossbow though it was MUCH more crude. However, I used a spinning reel (not sure it is the correct word - I'm sorry my English is not perfect - the rotating thing with handle) to arm the crossbow because the springs I used were too strong for my arms.
...Mind...Blown...
