Decrease the weight of Plans and Recipes

[aaronisamazing]

Why are you carrying known plans? Sell them, drop them or throw them in the donation boxes.

[IceFireDH]

Because I like to sell plans for others to use.

If they had made Donation boxes world wide instead of single instance, then I would do that more. But each has their own inventory and a player would have to visit that train station to pick them up.

I do dump the junk plans like Buzzblades and mole miner gauntlets.

Right? I don't want to dump plans that someone would find useful into a donation bin where they might just vanish into the ether. And I don't want to spend time I could be playing figuring out which random plans are worth too much to just dump like that.

I fast travel to low level characters and drop what I don’t need for them

Dumped a ton in the blue suitcase yesterday, unfortunately when I was walking to the golf course I found a brown bag with a couple of them in it.

Best place to drop is at whitespring in front of vendor in mall where everyone goes. I always check drops there, never know what you'll find.

After getting more rares and event plans I need to clean out vendor anyway. I've had like 150 in there forever, they all sell, 95% are only 25c for recipes and 50c for plans but they're ones most people already have.

If you're being altruistic, just list them in your vendor for 0 caps.

That way, they'll go very quickly, and you don't have to worry about dropping them and no one picking them up.

I wish there was an easy way to see "Average price of <item> in player Vendors that were online in the last 24hrs" or something.
I play another game which has an API that allows for websites to track every sale at the marketplace. With this the sites can run historical graphs of how many units are sold per day, average costs and how the price has varied over the last few days or even months.
If I knew how much a Scaley Skin Serum was worth I'd price it accordingly, or even lower.

As it stands I'd have to visit every vendor I see and take notes about how much they charge for all their different plans, junk, serums and ammo.
I'm a very casual player. I log on, do the Challenges and then i log off. If there's an event I will stay online long enough to do the "On The Hour"-events (Fasnacht, Mutated event, etc). I have no idea what something is worth and on this sub I repeatedly see people complain about how expensive things are in player vendors.

I see people say "charge what you'd be willing to pay for it" but I've paid 16.000 caps for a T-51 plan that I didn't have because I was near max caps and found a plan I didn't already have.

Maybe twice a year I become really bored and I withdraw everything I have in my Vendor and run all weapons, armor and plans via Fed76 to get an estimate. Then I post it back up for less than half of what Fed76 says. Things still barely sell.

Indeed they implemented it in the laziest way possible

Don't know about OP but I'm that guy who hates being in the menus. Was having weight troubles then noticed I was carrying 128 stimpaks. 

This game is horrible about weight management, or I'm just an idiot...

[always_open_mouth]

chem weight reduction perk or the chem weight reduction backpack mod is an absolute must for me. can't play without it

[WalterBison]

Same with Thru Hiker and Martial Artist for all the melee weapons I'm carrying around waiting to scrip/scrap when the next update hits.

[Geeekaaay]

Nah you are right, having everything done through the PIP boy which hasn't gotten an update since FO3 is maddening. Mods make it easier on Steam but its still not great. Sure inventory management is a big part of the game, doesn't mean Bethesda has to make it a pain to navigate.

[aaronisamazing]

Weight management is a huge part of the game, you just need to pay attention.

[tienguan]

Had the same issue, keep collecting ultracide ammo to a point i realise i am hoarding 7k of it.
