Gen Speed and Toolboxes

The speed at which generators are being repaired is a pretty hot topic, and while there are already multiple discussions about this, I believe I have my own solution. Nerf Toolboxes.

The numbers I am using come from the DbD wiki, which may not be accurate.

As of right now, repair speeds are as follows:

  • "Slightly" - 10% - Alex's Toolbox, Clean Rag
  • "Moderately" - 15% - Worn-Out Tools, Toolbox, Commodious Toolbox, Socket Swivels
  • "Considerably" - 20% - Mechanic's Toolbox
  • "Tremendously" - 25% - Engineer's Toolbox

I think the simplest thing to do is to reduce their values by 5%, so instead of being 10/15/20/25% it would now be 5/10/15/20%. The new highest repair speed would be 35% (Engineer+Socket+Rag, was 50%), and the popular Commodious+Socket+charges would now repair with a 20% bonus.

I decided to change some other add-ons while I was at it:

  • Spring Clamp / Grip Wrench: Bonus progression on Great Skill Checks, like the Med-Kits Rubber Gloves and Sponge.
  • Protective Gloves: Reduced penalty for failing sabotage skill checks. Chance to prevent generator explosion moved from Technician to this. Can now use Toolboxes to cleanse totems, which increases cleansing speed and muffles the grunts of pain created when you are cleansing them.
