When you reach the vault, you empty your backpack to make room for the loot, and your tools evaporate into thin air. You may think this is strange, but that's only because you haven't actually tried it in real life.
It's true. In my younger and less-wise days whenever we would be making room in our packs after a big score, ALL THE TOOLS WOULD VANISH. Creepy stuff.
I actually think $100 starting bounty is a really good change thematically and gameplay-wise. If you have never committed a murder or successfully robbed another person, you shouldn't have hardly any bounty on your head. This should reduce the cash-flow going to people with multiple accounts that just constantly suicide into their own houses to build their cash piles, and make it necessary for starting people to have to make some risks by attempting a couple of robberies. Before, if you could make a decent little trap with your starter cash, you could just sit back and wait for 4 suiciders to completely recoup your startup costs. Now if you want to upgrade/expand your home defenses you also have to participate in some successful robberies to supplement your income. Remember: YOU ARE A DESPERATE MAN IN DESPERATE TIMES! Anything that increases incentives to take risks/rob houses is both good thematically and for the game itself rather than just having 20 houses that just turtle and never take a peak outside.
Love the game, and glad I came back after a few months off to see how its been progressing. Keep up the awesome work Jason!
Hey Gimpy_Weasel, welcome to the forums!
So that's where my money went. I'd just robbed Huckaby using only starter cash and accidentally left my house for over 5 mins whilst upgrading and it timed out leaving it exposed.
That tharr plunder was cursed I tells ye!
Earlier today I had just walked into a $20k score from a guy who left his vault completely unguarded. Completely upgraded my house and then of course forgot to activate a crucial switch during testing. Mauled to death by my own pit bulls after the biggest score of short TCD career -_-
Personally I like the state of tool prices. Tools that a primarily for saving your life and allowing you to get back to the entrance are more expensive than ones that merely allow you to hack your way further into homes. This creates an emphasis on committing to the robbery rather than having a bunch of ways to backtrack out of traps you have sprung. This is especially important when the in-game economy runs almost solely on robbers needing to die to generate income.
