The Lazy Forager needs a buff


Recommended Posts

Currently, the lazy forager is one of if not the worst items made in the ruins. The concept of the lazy forager is promising, but the execution was quite poor and here's why. The lazy forager is supposed to pick up items automatically and make tasks like harvesting grass or twigs easier and faster but the pick up animation is quite slow so it doesn't reduce harvesting time much shorter. Another reason that this item is not very good is the durability in my experience this thing barley lasts, I think there is a very simple solution, Just allow it to be refueled by nightmare fuel or a other item. In conclusion I doubt this item will be buffed but, if anyone from Klei sees this please consider buffing this item.

It helps pick up salt

most ruins items need a buff tbh

honestly really only the lazy forager and pick/axe suck, everything else has a use. Maybe the club too, but club mainly just needs a way to craft it outside of the ruins and it'd be fine. Ideally a station you can bring outside of the caves, dont need another glass cutter situation

800 uses plus working efficiency for just 2 pieces of thulecite is really good

 

i would love if the lazy forager had double durability

i disagree

I wish one day I can afford to wear a lazy forager while chopping trees and marble trees.

I wish one day I can afford to wear a lazy forager and loot the forest destroyed by bearger on a beefalo.

I wish one day I can afford to wear a lazy forager while standing among panicked geckoes and smile.

I wish one day I can afford to wear a lazy forager while running through penguin families and snatch their eggs (as a prank, or not).

I wish one day I can afford to wear a lazy forager after the raining frogs have hurt my feelings.

I wish one day I can afford to wear a lazy forager and a spider queen crown while watching spiders having a civil war.

I can only wish ...

I didn't even read the text but I liked bc I for god's sake agree, please buff. 

If it really doesn't speed up gathering time why do you want it to become refuelable? Wouldn't it still do "nothing"?

I don't know why the lazy forager is such a meme right now, especially with you saying it's better than the thulecite walls and medallion.

it's a good trinket, but it's just not good enough to warrant a trip to the ruins each depletion

The only item that's worth going back for exclusively is the only item which you never have to go back for since it can be refueled. If just my thul suits, just my crowns, just my clubs, just my pickaxes, or just my amulets or staves of any type break I'm not going to go back down just to get more of that one item.

The only thing that's so important it can't be done without is the magi, which you don't need to go back down to get.

The durability is just waaay too low I’ll eat through one from just occasionally picking up the handful of loot from tentacle traps as Wickerbottom. 

the way I’d like to see it be refuelable is that the gem in the amulet would “break” at 0% but the amulet itself wouldn’t. You would then be able to socket a new orange gem in for 100%. 

The two thuls are the expensive part of the recipe not the gem. Refuelling with nightmare fuel would just make orange gems pile up even more.

That'd be a fun change. Orange gems pile up with little to use them for while nmf is used to fuel the magi, make dark swords, make night armor, and make many other useful things. Lazy forager right now is great for things like grabbing ocean or hole items and pretty good at grabbing a ton of things like logs or grass but does break a bit quick if you're trying to grab more than a few things with it. Restocking a new orange gem is an interesting idea to let it be more reliable. 

Upping the durability is a no brainer for me, but I also like the idea of refueling it with orange gems from @Ohan  a lot.

I hope Klei adds some more of those buffs to items that are clearly underpowered. But not everything can be in this update, some of it will have to wait for a future update.

The forager is fine as it is. It's a qol item for gathering mass quantities of stuff. It doesn't need durability increase or refueling.

What it could use is FASTER pickup, because you're still waiting around a lot.

at least they changed it recently and you can pick up alongside the forager, before that you would be forced to stand still lol. Anyway, I disagree, I think it needs a durability or pick up speed buff quite badly, either would help it a lot. Refueling, especially with nmfuel, wouldn't solve the issue imo.
