Crafting questions
-
So I watched the video that came out last year about some of the crafting and the hours it will take for making metal bars and all that. Has there been an update on recipes or anything so we can see the exchange rate and all that? Or is there a crafting list available on a wiki that I could look over?
-
A lot is changing in this build. Even ppl who have done all the tests will be on a learning curve.
I'm hoping that before the next alpha commences, there will be another vid (or two) from @Prometheus about the changes to the farming/crafting/smelting systems that have only been hinted at so far. But the main focus of this test is going to be around the pretty much total re-working of city systems and the siege warfare system.
-
@PeachMcD so they are not gonna make us wait 4 hours for smelting?
-
Yes. Smelting will still take a few hours to do, however you are able to smelt on your own parcel of land now.

@Thordin
Nothing to do with the question just wanted to say hello
Nice to see you again Thordin
-
@Thordin They still intend for certain material refinemime to ent processes to take a bit of real time to accomplish, so expect smelting to stay at around 4 hrs or so.
As to exchange rates, this game is a 100% player driven economy, so the game won't be publishing exchange rates at all. We, the player community will determine the value of our goods by what we buy and sell them at on a case by case basis.

I'd guess that it depends on the feedback for this test though. They already adjusted the original design, so that can easily happen again. Or, in other words, it's too early to claim something is going to work this or that way in the final version of the game, even if it does now.

@Logain True, they may adjust it up or down some again, but I doubt it. I think it sounded like Prometheus was pretty happy with the new time period for item refinement. Plus with the ability to refine in your own homestead, it does make the process a little more freely available.
I know they want some crafting elements to be time sinks, on purpose, so I seriously doubt if they will lower it much below the 4 hr mark, and they may even bump it up for final release
-
@GamerSeuss i absolutely love that! I dont mind the IRL wait time for some things to be crafted cause in a sense it allows progression while offline and such. I did not know if it was all materials like leather and all of that or just the metal?
-
@stef0ra Your name looks familiar where have we met again?
-
@stef0ra Ahhh the WT2 discord!

I don't see them speeding up a 4h smelt, when it takes 16h to cure leather XD
