Crafting table time

[Major Pain]

The crafting tables take an absurd amount of time to craft something. Is this intended? I really like the game, but sitting there for over 15 minutes to craft some stuff is ridiculous..

This took some time to get used to be here is how you do it:

1). Build 2-4 processing tables
2). Iterate between each one to collect level ups
3). Always level up with the simplest item for the skill
4). Actually useful crafting can happen without you waiting around

Even though crafting does take kind of long, one great thing is, time actually passes when you're sleeping in game. So you can speed along crafting by sleeping. Some people might not want to advance their day very much, in terms of time, but you can craft that item sooner (sooner in real life) by sleeping
I do really love that part

You don't actually have to sit there and wait. The tables are magical and craft things by themselves.

However, you do want to try to be present for the completion of the item.. as that will grant XP in one of the skills depending on the item crafted.

Yeah, I level my skills by going to the merchants. It is way faster and you have so much loot that you can trade.
