Tree sap - Alternate recipe

[DMCain]

Really need an alternate recipe for Tree Sap.

To make the Fabricator you need 60 electronics. This amount needs 120 Epoxy, which is 480 Tree Sap. To get 480 Tree Sap it takes 1,920 sticks. Getting that many sticks is a near futile task.

Using Crushed Bone to make the epoxy needs almost 500 bones. Slightly easier to get than the sticks, but still severely time consuming.

Not true, there is a perk in the talent tree that lets you turn wood into the stick. 4-5 chopped trees and you will have tons of sticks (thousands). 100 Wood correlates to 1000 sticks.

The problem for that quest is not epoxy lol, it's the gold itself :D

[NANI YO?! B-BAKA!!!]

Psstt, U can turn 1 wood into 10 sticks in carpenter, so its jus 192 wood, what is like 4 trees?

I have picked the talent tree because I need sticks in the desert :D, and it's also quite fast if you do it in your inventory (from a realism perspective I have no idea how it works)

That doesn't help a bit when a person doesn't spec resources. Quest? what quest?

Building and resource management is not my primary job (hunter/combat - I gather food) when playing with friends. I only brought this up since i was having difficulty getting stuff done while messing around with some solo play.

I'm not leveling another character for a single talent to make sticks. Since i still have a few unspent BP I will look into the carpenter thing. I still say there should be an alternate recipe for Tree Sap.

Still not making a new character and burning 2 Talent points to make sticks (that's just silly). Talent points are scarce enough as it is. I'll go with the carpentry bench since i have 75+ unspent BP.
