[2022] Loot lottery and perk points

Orrrrr.... You could do things without obsessing over steel. Get what steel you can from salvaging relevant steel giving items to use for crafts, and not stress over upgrading your base into an over-built steel monstrosity when you can survive just fine with concrete. Just sayin.

People seem to think many things are 'Needed' when they really aren't. You can absolutely survive till day 100+ without ever making a forge/workbench/chem station or obtaining a crucible/beaker. Is it nice to get those things? Sure- Do those things make it easier? Absolutely....But they are not Needed.

And really, once you figure out some of the places you can wrench steel reliably, There is no shortage. There isn't a real shortage of cement either with all the new construction POIs.

The only real limitations I've been running into in a20 are finding sewing kits and acid early on.
