Summary

None

Purpose of change

Combat machete: A regular machete is already made for swinging well, some string, leather, and glue isn't going to magically improve it
Doppler Radar Turbo 2000: This item only spawned in radio towers, and very rarely at that. It's cool I guess, but doesn't make much sense. As far as I can tell, meteorologists don't have a random box of electronics that tell them all the useful weather info. This can just be replaced by a windsock, barometer, thermometer, and barometer, no electronics needed.

I’m not sure why weather computer needs to go

I couldn't find any real life examples of one, and the fact it's a CCoM reference I don't think one exists. Should it instead be replaced with like a collection of weather instruments?

The goo container supposed to be contained slime. All you're doing is condensing it or releasing it. For the Combat machete youre rebalance it, and then enforcing the handle a bit making it more for combat less for cutting.

The machete is already meant to strike a hard object with all of your strength, I am not sure how you're going to make it better at that in your garage.

I have had the idea of making the tempered version have a handguard as that would actually help with something

The point of can of goo is either killing monsters by pouring it into them or making sacrificial allies. There might be an argument for splitting these functions but I dont think misunderstandings around the blob have anything to do with it.

Same for the weather computer. Its not super usefull but I dont see a point in getting rid of either. If you feel it needs modernizing it would be a nice appliance.

I've never had it be really successful in that regard, especially since you cannot choose where to pour it out.

I don't think I can modernize it past changing it to "a collection of tools in a box". Also checking the weather isn't unique to the Doppler Turbo 2K, advanced smart watches can do the same.

Well yeah its 1 in 8. in open field, higher chances depending on where you try. Still that's besides the point of having justification for removing the thing.

Budged on the goo canister, but I'm still very weary on letting the Weather Radar Doppler 2000 stay in

Smart watches require use of the internet to check the weather and are not really the same thing.

The closest equivalent to the weather machine would be a Weather Station kit, which does exist and basically consists of a collection of tools that connect to a (nowadays) Tablet-style device.

weather radar is currently useless, and doesn't do anything specific, so if removed, it's use action should go also - luckily it seems to be possible to replicate it in eoc, if someone will find a need in it in the future
