Is it normal that your villagers need so many tools now?

[Senyuki]

I'm a bit speechless, but is it normal that my woodcutter (for example) needs about 3-4 stoneaxes per day? Oo
This is really a lot... if this is wanted like this, maybe a possibility to change the consumption of them (tools from villagers) would be nice ... (like food, water etc. -> i never changed them)
Will this get really better with later tools?

[zantariz]

I think their tool usage is dependent on their skill level for their craft. Maybe you got used to workers at high skill? Maybe you haven't assigned or don't have workers assigned to the right professions? Those are the only things I can think of... unless they reduced durability on the tools...

Also feels like if you are still using the poor quality Stone tools they are not going to last. After all your people are using them all day long, they last with you because you are not constantly using them. Better quality Copper+ should last bit longer. Remember though you can automate the tool production too.

My woodcutter is level 4... i know they can level up more, but in my opinion this is a really high consumption.... she uses 3-4 every day.

[Senyuki]

I have only one person who uses them. And she needs 3-4 every day with level 4.
I startet a new game with this new stage of the game (cause of all the changes) and i know all mechanics very well, but this seems really high in my opinion... maybe it's only mine.
But in the beginning you cant craft copperaxes or something like that... i'll try buying one and observe how long this one will last.

So far I've only built my own house in my new game, so I'll have to discover this for myself. I'm curious how many stone tools a workshop worker can produce in a day at rank 3... Sounds like they probably won't be able to keep up with demand.

If things haven't changed then a stone axe is 50 hp/durability. I'm going off memory here so it might not be accurate but 1 log = -1 hp/durability. It will tell you in the management tab for the woodcutters hut the correct numbers. Then it's just maths to figure out how many they should need per day.

Always best imo when starting off with a new crafter to give them a head start by making some yourself and putting them in storage.

150 HP per stone axe and they need 5 HP each log. 1 per Plank/Firewood production. So if you mass crafting logs they need every 30 logs a new axe, and that is a 100% production per day and skillpoint.
Just take a look in the management tab you see how many durability they consume per work.

[Senyuki]

My Axes have 100 HP, not 150.
Oo And she's doing 30% (logs), 20%, 30%, 20%.

[Werric]

hmmmm so they gave them 3 times the HP but made the cost per log 5 times more. So using solely log production it was 50 logs/stone axe and now it is 30. I guess that means they do use more stone axes than previously. Interesting.

So far I've only built my house, a barn and a couple of fields. I'm just bout to get into getting villagers for hunting, logging and crafting. It's going to be interesting.

[Senyuki]

Yap, seems so.
Last time i played was before villager needed tools, so it's new for me to play with it but i was a bit shocked that they need so much. Now nobody can work for you without the right tool makes it much more difficult ... no fish without spears etc. I'll see how it goes. ^^

[subwaybananas]

ye, sry 100 HP, 150 is the wooden hammer. And only 20 per day and skillpoint. With your setting you should produce 6 logs, 2 planks and 2 firewood per skillpoint, thats 34 HP per day and skillpoint. 116 HP with your level 4, little bit more than 1 axe per day.
4 stoneaxe every day looks too much and bug or just exaggeration.

[Werric]

Previously I have found that taking it slow and steady and giving your NPC a bit of a head start means they can usually keep up.

no, nothing changed there. the 50 HP was the stone knife. 5 HP was everytime per log since they need tools.

Thanks seems I should really wake up a lot more before getting on the forums :)
