Crafting Bench's and Augments

[Lumberjack]

So I understand you unlock recipies etc but trying to figure out what bench / augment goes where is a nightmare for Augments for those recipies, and the amount of clutter! linking 3-4 bench's with the Augments on top you nearly have to build a town to support these if this is so please make it so Augments ( the tiny bits ) dont take up the augment spots but still allow you to get the recipies you unlock, IMO it needs a little rework or more information what I link to what to get desired outcome. At the present time im banging my head against a brick wall trying to slowly figure things out.

I'm 25 hours in and am still wearing most of the second gear you make for yourself in green quality... I'm growing REALLY tired of the looks too. I've got the benches and their bonus items alligned but it seems you also have to find the receipe. Vendors had nothing. All I found was a new hat in one of those random minor sites. So at least I'm not wearing that turban thing anymore.

I'm totally with you there this needs to be done better. Why do I have to look like a Wild West trapper cloaked in fur for so long?

I don't disagree. I to am in that attire. I have heard if you follow the quest line it gets you to a fae realm where you get an upgrade to a new bench. Not sure what that outfit will look like, but would be nice to have ability to modify your look through crafting using certain materials. Not a huge fan of the turbin or the tattered hat. Also dye would add to things as well. Not looking for anything earth shattering. Hope late game this changes

Yeah the crafting station clutter is ridiculous already and I've only got the first set of stations + a dozen augments down. If they're going to do this then they should double the effective linking range of the augments, because trying to link one augment to multiple stations is a mess.

Valheim had an easy solution to this by allowing you to terraform, so you could dig a level under your house and hide all the augment stations under your floor. Can't do that here, and the linking range is so low that you can't reliably just place all the augments on a second story either from what I've tried.

Yeah its line of site linking to, i have tried doing all my valheim and other game tricks it doesnt work :(, Try the twitch gear and then upgrade / infuse / enchant the gear for the other comments above.

I have a storeroom with a bunch and I just move whichever I need close to whatever bench I need to use.

It is kinda funny how you start off with decent looking gear.. then turn it into essence to wear whatever that colour is.. with a headwrap and some generic garb. I upgraded my stuff to 40 as well, put enchant on my marble slingshotbow +5% damage. It was an augment i found as loot.. the only one i can make at the moment is a durability augment.. for items that are easy enough to repair.

check this out:
- why no crafting queue? it's just stupid to craft different items one buy one
- where is craft from storage? it's 2024 and "a must have" feature
- chopped tiny tree fell down and destroyed half of my stone house. WTF?!
- many recipes are beyond common sense and logic i.e. saw table and masonry table requires animal fiber. WTF? For what?
- very annoying stack splitting system. Why I cannot just put number or numbers and must drag that freaking slider?
- having few different stacks of tier 1 bones, skin etc. is absolutely meaningless and annoying. Whats the difference between tier 1 predator bone or prey/ carnivore bones? It's just same T1 bones/skin FFS.
- realm cards must be separated at crafting table as BIOME CARDS and DIFFICULTY CARDS
- companions interaction is dumbest I've ever seen. 1. Check inventory 2. Dismiss. Wow.
- dismissing companion. Dismissed companion became a chest with his stuff inside and disappeared. Where is list/menu with companions? Why I cannot summon/dismiss any I like and keep them at shelter?!
- where is bow, one handed swords, axes, maces? Guess I didn't find recipes yet?
- portal opening/reopening time of 1 minute+ is extremely annoying as well. Looks like after clicking REOPEN PORTAL game fully loading and recreating another realm.
- you could put some animation on portal opening machines. It's not nice and looks pathetic that they are just motionless pieces of machinery.
- level 25 pricks with dual wield swords at Astrolabe Tower two shot me and my companion many times with 25 gearscore equipment. Corpse running is not fun at all.
- fishing mechanic is one of the most stupid I've ever seen as well
- simple T1 armor is ugly AF. Why it's green color? Why my backpack looks like made of green skinned cow?! Jesus...

I don't disagree. I to am in that attire. I have heard if you follow the quest line it gets you to a fae realm where you get an upgrade to a new bench. Not sure what that outfit will look like, but would be nice to have ability to modify your look through crafting using certain materials. Not a huge fan of the turbin or the tattered hat.

Can you not dye your clothing???

color is based on the material you use to make it, no the game wont tell you what color its gunna be though. Bug material tends to be green though it seems.

The Augment system is over-designed and thus confusing. At its bones, it's mostly about decor, not spamming augments.

I find the best way to target a recipe is search it in your broad craft menu (Default: C on keyboard), then see which augments it requires. EVERY augmentation has multiple sources, so don't spam them all (especially since every station has limited slots).

If you don't find the recipe you want to craft in the menu (Default: C), then augment or not, you can't craft the item.

After a few more days of experience I also have to say the system is kinda buggy or poorly thought through. I've already encountered three instances where items that were unlocked (shown in the help list) did not appear inside the correct bench with the correct augment attached to it. I solved it by building another bench and moving that specific item next to it instead. Instant appearance.
