[2019] Problems with Medstation

As of right now, the medstation is basically useless. 4 of the 5 crafts available at Lvl 3 require Piles of Meds. But, the craft of 2x Car Med Kits into 3 Piles of Meds was removed 2 weeks ago because people were using almost empty Car Med Kits to make the Piles of Meds. I understand why this was done, but it made the Medstation useless in the process.

The Piles of Meds we find in raid, are now worth ~13k RUB. In pretty much every case, there is little or no reason to do the craft as they all take time. If we are crafting them, we should be coming out ahead money wise as we spent our time making the meds to make up the difference.

• AI-2 Craft - Costs 13k RUB and makes 3x AI-2 worth ~10k RUB
• Grizzly Craft - Costs 65k RUB and makes 1x Grizzly worth ~32k RUB (50% loss)
• IFAK Craft - Costs ~30k RUB and makes 2x IFAK worth ~ 34k RUB
  • For the record, at the time of this posting, you can buy 300/300 IFAKs on the Flea Market for about 17k RUB each. They are sold at Therapist for about 21k RUB.

Another problem right now is in all the crafting stations, you can make various crafts with items that are at 1% durability. So, removing one that kills a crafting table just doesn't make any sense.

For example:

• 1x Ibuprofen, 1x Gold Star, 5x Piles of Meds -> 7x Propital
  • I can make the Ibuprofen and Gold Star down to 1/12 & 1/10 respectively and still make the 7x Propital
• 1x Moonshine, 5x 0.6L Water Bottle -> 7x Bottle of Vodka
  • I can drink the waters down to 1/60 to still make this craft
• 1x Soap, 1x 0.6L Water Bottle -> 2x Schaman Shampoo
  • Same as the Vodka craft, I can drink the water down to 1/60 and still make the shampoo

It should be a simple fix to add a requirement to all crafts in the hideout to need the item at 100% durability.

There has been a suggestion I have seen in the sub to make it so you get less Piles of Meds for used Med Kits. As it was supposed to be, 440 Med HP would get you 3 Piles of Meds. Maybe set it to every 150 HP gets you 1x Pile of Meds. So, if you break down a handful of cars that have 10/220 each, you wont get anything. But, I personally believe that would be a lot of work to implement. Though, if that is added, and you can use any med kit, the rest of the crafts would have to be balanced as making a Grizzly from 5x Piles of Meds would mean you can break it down into 12x Piles of Meds to make 2x Grizzlys, making infinite meds.

I hope this all makes sense, but since I have read it many times, it makes sense to me, but that doesn't mean it isn't a rambling mess. Thanks!
