Mortar!

[ricardo]

I'm really liking this game, I think it's generally well paced with just enough work to do to make it feel valuable. The one glaring exception to this is mortar!

Mortar is used in every little construction change you want to make, including wallpaper, and making one mortar requires the mining of 8 stones! I wanted to change the wall style of two 3x3 rooms, and it costs 12 mortar, or more correctly, 96 mined stones!

This is a serious outlier from the rest of the crafting system. None of us have time for that. This is our real lives we are expending. It could be considered an example of abuse. We need this fixed.

Quicklime could be a byproduct of shaping stones, and we could use that in reasonable amounts so we can make our taverns how we like them without shutting the business for weeks to mine stone.

Stone block stock pile does not reduce stone requirement for me. Bug?

It only works for stone blocks. Not for polished stone or mortar.

Game is unbalanced. Mortar is in so high needs, you grind stone DAILY.
DAILY GRIND FOR STONE.
It were fine before, with grind and chores... but now with the animal update, your daily grind is extreme. You spend 90% of the day, EVERYDAY, grinding for stone, coal, iron, food, animal food, mortar, attend the farm, feed animals, water animals, let animals out, let animals in, animals become sick, medicin is extremely expensive and makes zero sense, animals dies, animal does not give much meat compared to work, animals sucks and makes the game much much worse. When did I mention the Travern?
Exactly, it's a game about a Travern, but have grown into Stardew Valley but worse. Next you will probably delete the Travern and add a box you can leave all your crops in.

I have the same problem. The mortar is a problem becouse to make we need many stones, and the avaliable in the day to mine are limited. We can buy a 10 stones in the Bob if avaliable to help, but the is random and i found only one time. Now i have a barn level 3 (fully upgraded i think) but i have 2x chicken coop to up. I dont now how many days i need now to mine this stones and put both in the level 3.
