Duct Tape is great. It allows you not only to make all kinds of useful ghetto shit, but also to silence people by targeting it over their mouth. For example, if you duct tape a glass shard you can make a glass shank, which would be perfect for the gulag. You can also make baseball bats on Hippie with wood and print steel baseball bats out of the autolathe which do a decent bit of brute and fit in bags.

However the best part of duct tape on Hippie is easily makeshift armor. Duct Tape a piece of metal, then slap that shit on a hazard vest. Badda Boom you got really shitty armor that slows you down, but is quite good when mass producing it so people can fight Ops or something.

Well yeah but nobody is actually coding that. Duct Tape and what comes with it is fully coded and port-ready.

does it use tablecrafting?

if it doesn't, and i am 900% sure it doesn't, it's not going to get ported.

What's so important about it being tablecrafting? Duct Tape is one of the few things that really makes sense in hands. While making a burger or whatever might make more sense if you've got a worksurface, tape is one of those things that's easy to use on the go.

tablecrafting is a unified system, we dont want more crafting systems that consist of 50000 attackby() clauses.

tablecrafting is p terrible but its much easier to convert that to a new system than to keep adding shit the old way and then making a new system.

Who cares about code

Merge fun stuff, fix it later

This is the true TG way

Also we seriously need ghetto armor of some kind
