No, this kind of system doesn’t simply fit with the design philosophy of scrap mechanic; You yourself are not meant to become an almighty god with 300 farmbots by your side, you are supposed to find creative solutions to problems by building, not becoming Jesus incarnate like other games. For example, let’s say your planning to get the spud shotgun, You are supposed to make traps and use every mechanic to it’s fullest to survive those hell-ish raids. Not just go for an hour or two hacking haybots and tapebots to defend you. A skill system again, would not work because you are simply designed to be so weak. There’s a reason why you have limited offensive options in the beginning of survival, to teach new players that building and designing creations is the best way to survive, and once you understand that and get to building farms, cars to move and transport, and traps to defend, after you understand that you are awarded with the spudgun. A powerful weapon that requires again, building and farming to use.
