Crafting issue

[OldirtyPooch]

I really really am enjoying this game, but man this crafting systems feels so brutal and convoluted. I adore survival games. I have thousands of hours between Ark, Moria, Icarus, Conan, etc. and this game just feels worse than any of them. Numerous quests to unlock new crafting stations, the crafting stations being so bizarre (having multiple recipes but only being able to do one at a time???), the followers having to be summoned, and of course, the ole craft this to craft that, to craft thing is so painful. Again, i can't overstate how much I love this game so far, but this crafting system is literally sucking the life out of me. Anyone else experiencing this? Does it at some point get better (not sure how it could).

Ever thought about building more stations so they run at the same time? .... like in every other survival game too!?

You are really enjoying this game, or it is sucking the life out of you? Which is it?
Pick one, and if its the latter, then go play those games.
Problem solved.

Many games have had the same unlock mechanics, or variations thereof. Its called progression. The games you listed have some form of that also.

Crafting stations are 'bizarre' because you can only craft one thing on them at a time? Kinda bizarre if you could, I'd think. Make a vid of you crafting more than one thing at a workbench at a time. Would love to see it. THAT would be bizarre.

I kind of agree that crafting system is bad and could use improvement. at current stage there are 16 different crafting stations and each has their own menue, that is in no way a user friendly experience trying to manouver between each menue.

the crafting tools should be able to understand what you want to do if you just put correct combination of stuff in it, not that you would need to select what it does.

Won't work. Put dirt and wood in the kiln - how's the kiln supposed to know whether you want coal, tar or wood acid?
