Changelog

There are many reasons for this, but the important part is that plenty of specialized Diablo/Blizzard websites have their build planners and do a great job updating and developing them further. So I'll focus on the games I'm most passionate about.

Update 2.0.0 (Jul 7 2021)

The new engine

In many ways, it is similar to a game engine.

Previously, all of the tools on Nukes & Dragons were created as semi-independent applications. This is fine while you have only a handful of pages, but the more you add the harder it is to maintain. So there is a need for a unifying mechanism to streamline the creation of new tools as well as updating the old ones.

Fallout 76 Planner rewritten from scratch

This is the first tool rewritten on the new engine. Here are some changes:

Perk loadouts.
Streamlined layout for mutations, legendary perks, and addictions.
The sections you choose to leave empty won't be occupying much space anymore.
In the "Armor" section you can choose specific armor pieces, as well as their mods and legendary effects.
Also, backpack and underarmor.
You can configure your power armor setup as well (inc. specific pieces, mods, and legendary effects).
New and updated legendary effects.
The most commonly used armor sets. The rest will be added soon.
Most of Power Armor sets.
Leveling roadmap was retired. There will be a replacement.
Nuclear Winter section was retired. RIP.
The way stats are calculated was changed, but it'll be way more interesting after weapons and consumables will be added.
Some things (e.g. perk search) weren't reimplemented yet. Will be added in the next updates.
