Yes, it is just much cheaper to build them than it is to buy them. Looting them is of course cheaper yet.
Well plasma guns used to be the most profitable thing to make with workshops. I haven't done the math recently so maybe they're not anymore. They do require a lot of components, with the durasteel being particularly expensive. Prosperity and/or supply might also affect it. I end up making a ton of rifles and swords to donate anyway since the vikings and house carossa want a massive number of those.
And... tendstims. I can't be the only one who had their workshop make 500 Injectors and now wants to fill them?
No, but they are the main ingredient in doctors kits, so I didn't bother mentioning them
Intelligence is really the only stat/skill that is hard to raise. If you're going to boost something at the start, that would be the one to boost. 90 is required for the Master Tactician trait but you get intelligence from some of the books and classes so you don't necessarily need to start with it that high. I think the minimum I would want to start with if I intended to get Master Tactician in a reasonable time would be about 70. I think you can get at least 20 points from books and classes.
You can put it in <script> tags before the closing </html> tag if you want to edit the file, or just c+p it in any browser's devtools' js console.
I don't know if this is your problem, but remember for the latter you have to go to the old Clubhouse and break in to trigger the letter arriving. Only then will Hamilton Jail show up on the map.
Every weapon has a chance to capture, including guns even without the manhunter trait. The real reason to pick it in my opinion (and why I give it a high priority), is that it increases your chance to capture with something other than a whip. This means during tough battles I am more likely to get a capture on that injured hulk in a tier 6 or tier 7 bounty without spending a whole round whiffing away at it with whips. If I happen to not get lucky and get a capture then I'll save an alternate target to use the whip on.
The reason that knives becomes better is because you have reached lowest possible steel price at Dakota's sisters store.
But for how long?
Was curious about this so I actually just tested it. Disciplined has no effect on the stat caps, it just makes it easier to hit the existing caps. Without the dojo the cap is 120. With the dojo the cap is 130. You can hit 130 with or without Disciplined, but with disciplined you can do it fairly easily. Once you get to 130 there's a massive penalty of more than 100 that makes every attempt an automatic failure even with disciplined.
I think they have the same caps but more muscular bodies have a better time raising their strength but are penalized in rolls when raising their dexterity past around 90 dex. More lithe bodies are penalized in their strength training rolls starting at around 90 strength. So while they have the same caps, one guy is going to struggle very very hard to get there while another gets there easier.
