So like this npc i think told me that crap items can sometimes turn into useful items given time, and something about expired meds eventually turning into something good (maybe i think kinda) eventually. Is this some lead up to crafting since all i know is that meds eventually give you goo and **** i think eventually or something.
Anyone know wtfs up with this or should i just ep3 moar lol? Or am i just dumb? |

Too early to say. I will keep expired items just to see if they evolve further. scully edited this message on 04/13/2011 10:55AM |

I now feel very sheepish about selling off my THE_**** roids that I’d collected for months out of fear I’d lose capital. |

I’m looking forward to seeing how this turns out myself. Basically I’m just keeping one copy of all the Junk I get and buying whatever Junk is sold at the Ppwn Shop. I’m bumuming it’ll turn into more or less expensive junk, but if they turned into sound or video files that’d be interesting. |

I kind of thought he was just explaining why things expired just in case someone didn’t know. I hope I’m wrong. |

Naw… he sends you an email with Expired Meds in it, and makes it pretty clear it’ll turn into something in a while. |

Spent 2 million in junk and consumables, just to try this out. I’m a patient man, so I’m p excited to see how this turns out. Here’s hoping 500+ items can all be converted into 500+ USEFUL items. |

One thing… if you’ve got a whole heaping pile of junk items, and after some length of time they decay into something else, how will you know which one decayed into which new thing, unless each item has a unique expiration time? |

That’s my point… these guys are p awesome for watching their stuff turn into other stuff to tell us the results, but it won’t be terribly helpful to know that one out of dozens of items turned into something good. |

I agree. And after I legit beat the game, I’m going to experiment with some junk items for that purpose. In fact, I wonder if anyone has done any sort of research into what items turn into when they expire.

Well, I’m hoping CZ put a good deal of effort into the decay/reward system, and it works the same way as it did for the ‘roids (where it’ll notify you that it went bad right on the main page), and maybe even say “THE *ITEM* DECAYED/PROGRESSED INTO…”; that’d be the best way for CZ to have handled it, imo.
Since I have around 1000 junk items, I can’t really write down each one and record the exact results, but whenever some of them start to decay/progress, I’ll post what I got and whether or not it said what was the original form. Hopefully it’ll be pretty easy to tell what it originally was if it doesn’t directly say.
Will report with results Log in to see images! |

DAMMIT!
Now I understand why ET has never responded to a bug report I told him about half a dozen times. Because that would reveal too much.
During Gameplay Testing, I found in my inventory, after a certain period of time, an item I had never seen before, because something decayed into it.
I had been bumuming it was a consumable of a certain clbum, so when the tuneup went live, I bought ten of those. I still have them.
It never occurred to me that it was junk which turned into that. Time to start collecting junk, I suppose! |

Alright, well, I went through my Junk and copied down every item I had and the exact amount, and I know I got them all on Jan 20th, so we have a time period too.
This way, if I have 5 of an item now, and I see a week later I have 5 of another item, and the original 5 are gone, and there’s no other new item that has exactly 5, I can tell what it turned into. Log in to see images!
Figured it’d be the easiest way to sort things out without having to have just one of an item. All the items that I only have one of, I’ll just have to guess and check daily. |

Only maybe.
With consumables, sometimes multiples of Item A will turn into a limited number of Item B, no matter how many of Item A you had to start with. |

That’s a friggin great idea. Except you have to worry about having the same amount of two items. Hopefully you don’t have any.
PS: If you haven’t contributed to the wiki already, this would be a great opp to get some peen. |

Log in to see images! this upsets me.
Oh well. I have every amount marked down and I’m not going to pwn any forums for a while, so I’ll just check daily. Maybe there’s an exact multiple value (6a = 1b kind of thing) for items and I can figure them out as well.
And thanks for the heads up, ****bumho, if I can get anything viable out of this at the end, I’ll contribute Log in to see images! |

heads-up: that “while” might turn into months. The item I referred to above showed up after several weeks of Gameplay Tuneup testing, and rollovers were happening every 4 or 6 hours over there… |
