    Suggestion: Change the current "Scavenger Kit" contents, and rename it to "Utility Kit" (utl for short) since it is after all a utility kit and the name makes sense :p

    2x Flint & Steel -> 1x Flint and Steel
    32x Arrows -> 64x Arrows
    2x Mushroom Stew -> Remove from Kit
    32x Snowballs -> Remove from Kit
    3x Milk -> 1x Milk
    1x Fishing Rod -> 1x Fishing Rod
    Add 1x Enderpearl


    Reason: This utility kit is a huge waste of inventory space and therefore needs to be modified. I'll suggest some things that could be changed to help the kit keep its effectiveness, but take up less space. Feel free to discuss this further.

    I'll address each item individually:
    -1 Flint and Steel can last an entire game, so why have 2?
    -The kit doesn't get much use as it is. If we're going to buff something it should be the amount of arrows, so double the amount of arrows in the kit.
    -There's already more than enough food in chests (and kit adventure is a kit dedicated to food), so remove mushroom stew from the kit.
    -The Snowballs are useless, so remove them entirely.
    -1 Milk is enough. Odds are you will only be debuffed with grenadier once in a game, if that.
    -The fishing rod should stay for utility purposes.
    -Add 1 Enderpearl to the kit for utility purposes.


    Any Other Information: On a quest to simplify kits as much as possible

    I think it's good it's cluttered. Takes away a bit of the edge, you have to plan how you wanna play just a bit more carefully.

    (Also definitely against the arrows, if you wanna stay shooting then either scrounge them up or use Stay and Fight)

    Heck, let's make every sh*tty Kit cluttered. Might as well throw in 1065.2 saplings and 12 leather boots in adventure because that Kit has absurd power with all the OP food in it. And don't even get me started on buffer. That Kit is a lost cause. I don't even know where we'd begin to make it cluttered. Was that really a logical argument? I think we both know the answer to that.

    Also to quote you on the arrows thing: "I don't see any point in nerfing a kit that really doesn't give you an advantage anyway."
    I'm against the arrows too but suggested it because you think the original change I posted is a "nerf" more so than a "remove everything that's useless." Make up your mind man. Is the Kit sh*tty or good?

    Ah yes because I'm totally advocating to make kits more cluttered. Not my argument.

    Well since you have twist my words to refute it I'm really not sure you're the best one to be talking on that point.

    Ah yes, because things haven't changed between those two points. Except, they have. ++ kits don't spawn in free arrows, so a kit giving arrows is now actually useful where it wasn't before. Before it wouldn't matter and now it does.

    I've made up my mind, you want the simple point?

    It's fine. It's a fine kit. It's not gamebreakingly good or disgustingly bad. We don't need to change it because it poses a mild inconvenience to you.

    +1, I do wish to keep the mushroom stew though for that little bit of food

    I agree with this the kit is annoying af to sort which makes its advantages a somewhat disadvantage.
