Do items have maximum durability that goes lower and lower the more it gets damaged like vehicle parts? Or can I repair a piece of clothing forever with no drawbacks?

    I have noticed there’s some weapons that natively have less durability, even if you start using it with max.

    Like, the maces you make with pipe fittings and a pipe are pretty durable (both of them). But there’s a different mace that I think uses a nail and string or something to attach the head to the handle and it breaks from use VERY fast.

    A lot of the swords/katanas are also cheap mall ninja shit. I’m careful these days to read the description so I know if it’s going to fall apart after two blows or what.

    In earlier builds, you could sometimes find some real bladed weapons in mansions, but nowdays you’re lucky if you find medieval or Japanese armor that fits. (Although those are nice if you’re not yet at a point where you can make them yourself, or don’t want to waste all the time doing it.)

      Oh, try and find either sword of the samurai i think it is called (can make high quality katanas or nodachis and other asian themed weapons) or medieval weapons recipe book.

      Tempered weapons are like the premium tier stuff, need a high temperature welding kit to repair it though and carbon steel. ( tip if you can’t find a welding blanket you can get the materials for a makeshift one from deconstructing two of the oven parts from deconstructing an oven)

      I think the carbonisation process needs a book though.

      You can sometimes find genuine weapons and armour in mansions ( i personally find proper maces of the weapons that are genuine) but yeah reading the descriptions can save you from a bad situation yeah

      spoiler

      If you don’t want to worry about durability try and get a monomolecular blade cbm installed- damage is cutting(27) and has high parry and seems to be infinite durability

      Good for most of the things in the game when you are decently skilled ( like 6-7 in cutting and melee)
