Title: Assembly Screen Highlighting
Post by: MaiZure on May 05, 2011, 03:11
The in-game assembly screen should highlight the assemblies you can build with your current inventory.

All about reduced thinking time as your blazing through Ao100 with 2 of each mod and a special.

Also it would be nice to have choices which lead to assembly highlighted while modding. For example:

You use a technical mod pack. Modify weapon, armor or boots?

I'm assuming that this is after you have discovered the assembly in-game at some point, right?

From what I can think that even if it showed you the full arsenal of assemblies, it would not be unbalanced, it would just make grinding less painful. But if that would be really unbalanced, then yes.
