Please return the old research system

[NinDom]

I really hate the new research systemYou should keep the option to select the method of the research system like the previous patch.I hope you listen to me and change it because its ruin the fun for me.

The new research system is flawless. The old one could be easily exploited to gain higher ranked items on day one, where the new one you must have the items to build a prototype and not just shove everything you see into the science machine.

Yes, the old method was lame. I did like being able to toss my nearly worn out items into the machines just to get rid of them though.

There was already a poll about this.

New research won with about 70%, new one got only like 20%, the rest couldn't decide.

EDIT: Yeeeah-no. It was different

It's not going to return. It was flawed like hell.

The developers stated they didn't like the old system since it made us do weird things for research points.

putting POOO in the science machine will forever be a juvenile part of my history.

The new Research System is perfect if you ask me, as the old one could be easily exploited and removed the challenge from the game.So my answer to you?www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yb76AobIgcU

How about you have to throw the stuff into the science machine to analyse it. For example a gold nugget, then you are able to hypothesize a use for this material (blueprint) and then you could continue with a prototype. So you will use the machine to analyse stuff, then make a plan (option to build something with this material) and then make a prototype.

So it is a little bit of both methods, in short:

[*]- Throw stuff in the machine to analyse it (so you need at least one of each material more to gain the knowledge how to use it)

[*]- Analyse leads to potential use of the material (plan)

[*]- Plan leads to prototype

I think that would take a little bit too long.

I want to make a shovel with gold, not a whole space shuttle.

This is too complicated. People still have trouble grasping the concept that meat effigies take 20 health.

Anybody who has a problem with the new research system should probably just join forces and request for an "easy mode", because you could literally unlock everything in a day of "researching"

Before the permanent change you could put the ground into the science machine. The degrade rate for digging up the ground is incredibly low and the ground would give 20 points of research. So really, all it took to unlock everything was a shovel or two (before the pitchforks) and digging up all the ground around you.

Agreed, that is but one of the many many ways to unlock everything. I just got bored of the world I was in and destroyed everything with the machine.I do miss getting rid of my 4% durability items though.
