Manufacturing speed during sleep

[Jake||]

I'm not sure if this is just something I haven't come across yet due to where I am in the game, but I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong (e.g. I know crafting directly from chests is something we unlock with a character later on).

I noticed that manufacturing in the charcoal kiln and the forge does not speed up when you sleep, i.e. does not follow the 60x night speed. I felt that was weird, and a serious waste of time if the game design requires me to work on something else while my production is happening at base, instead of being able to return from a day's farming for materials, shove it all into their respective manufacturing stations, go to sleep at night, and wake to them being completed (or at least to whatever 60x speed would output).

Hope devs can make it so that the game world and manufacturing speeds up with the sleep time advancing mechanics!

no. this aint valheim. and production is automated unlike valheim already. there is no reason to make the game go even faster. it doesnt have the content to backup even more fast paced experiences. a speed boost would fully defeat crafting takeing ANY time at all. may aswell make everything instant then. but then you also dont need so many workstations either.

see this system was chosen so you the player have a reason to build more than 1 smelter or kiln etc to craft more over time. if everything was instant you would never have any gameplay reason to make more than 1 of each station. this is bad for such games and never good design. you encourage the player to build more stations. not discourage it.

these types of games are supposed to be taken slowly and steadly. not "get everything right NOW" and be done games.

Then why have x60 night ?

So you can adventure in the day time when it's light and you can see.

I believe x60 night is simply to not have to fight the mobs that spawn at night when you explore and to change night to day like many other survival games. I don't think it's meant to skip through production fast.

Eventually you get multiple kilns, multiple smelters etc so that way you can have one of each type going - and then go explore do your game play loop and by the time you come back it's all done, or at least enough to craft whatever you wanted, unless you are trying to scale/craft 1000 huge boxes at once.

I completely agree the timers are way to damn long and if I wanted to play something with timers that is taking me nearly an hour or so just to craft a secret book shelf door I’d just play a mobile game. I’m not saying they should completely remove timers but for base building I think it’s ridiculous I have to wait so long for aesthetic items that serve no other purpose 😂 love the game though just my opinion
