Crafting 1 by 1 is a pain

This would be awesome if we could craft the max amount of items from the stack of resources put on table... Else we need to spend ages to split stacks, very boring.

I know that we can craft arrows and ropes 5 by 5, but we should be able to craft any amount from what is on craft table. Like in any games.

Agreed. :-) How about allowing excess material to just remain on the crafting table?

Can't, its a recipe based system, exact amounts are needed or no recipe is found.. What if for example Item A requires 2 plant fiber and item B requires 4 plant fiber. You place 6 fiber on the table, which item does it craft? there is multiple options.

This system is different and does take more time to craft things but that was the point. Try using left alt and right mouse click to transfer items to the craft table. Once you get used to that, its much easier.

Also look in the itempedia for bulk crafting recipes for rope and arrows.

In your example, if multiple options then show multiple list ! Just as simple.

It's a very crap system sorry. It prevents me to play really. And I see other players have the same opinion.

I guess i am on the opposite spectrum with that, I like how it is done and it actually gives me something to do while I wait for ores to smelt or if I don't need to sleep at that time. For example, if arrows were too easy to craft, then fighting would be too easy, gives me a reason to resort to a spear. Just my opinion though!

Adding a boring crafting system to address a lack of content (your waiting instead doing something interesting) is not a way to a success story... imho.

What if it was just easier to divide materials into specific number groups, for example split a pack of 50 plant fibers into 25 pods of 2...
