Furnace Update is the worst thing I've seen in a while.

[ToxYukiri]

If you change the UI, why not make it do the same thing? Takes so much longer to smelt things for basic rust needs, and I'd rather not make 30 small furnaces to do the work of what a large furnace could've done. Only one stack at a time? Like yeah, I get that you didn't like the look, and wanted to update it, but why the ♥♥♥♥ would you make something so necessary for progression so much worse? Literally no point. If this is a "balance" thing (which is isnt because why would a furnace cooking more than 1 stack at a time be negative to gameplay) then why not balance every other aspect that is lacking? Cheaters are everywhere cause 15 dollar cheats go undetected even with people literally flying and shooting 1500 rpm from a damn eoka, but the game needs a furnace nerf. Actually, nerf isn't a good word, more like absolutely destroying the entire thing. Worst update I've seen, and I've put 1700 hours in this past year. First it was recoil, and even as a "roleplayer" it completely removed half of what the game had going for it. Starting to feel more like PUBG than a semi-realistic pvp game. Next force wipe I wouldn't be surprised if there was a battle-bus dropping me into Tilted Towers. I love this game. This and CS:GO are really the only two games I play, but something as small as the furnace change has severely lowered my expectations and morale to keep playing. I get it, you don't give a ♥♥♥♥ cause you got your money from that stupid Twitch Rivals thing, but you don't have to screw over the existing community that actually puts hours and effort into this game. I get it, I'm rambling, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ was this the last straw. This is the only force wipe where I just could not play, because I could barely progress with 3 small furnaces running as a solo. Looking forward to seeing all the 10-man zergs living out of a sheet metal 2x2 since they can't produce the metal to upgrade and upkeep a decent sized base.

Yeah not a fan of any of the furnace updates
small furnace cooking 1 stack at a time is another way to hinder solo's, probably wouldn't mind it if it cooked faster but 1 stack cooking slowly is a pain in the @$$.

Definitely. I don't know why they keep gearing the game towards large groups of 12 year old mic spammers that can't win because they can shoot, but because all 12 of them can shoot at the same time and get lucky. I've always been more of a solo player, game gets too easy with even one other person.

Who ever made the decision to change this is a complete IDIOT....It is with out doubt the worse thing I have seen introduced into this game...1000 times worse than what it was

Same thing happened with the firepit. Haven't made a BBQ or stove yet, but my guess is they're equally screwed up.

This is from the rustafied update blog.

Furnace UI changes

"Thankfully, the actual utility of each item remains untouched -- no nerfs to smelt or cook speed. If anything, it looks like large furnaces might be a bit more efficient after these changes."

So what do you mean with "it hinders solo's" and "cooking slowly" when its just as fast as it used to be?

Just cooked stuff in the bbq and it just disappeared. once it cooked it was gone. no one else around me, so no one took it.

where do you see a solo with a furnace base that doesnt get raided immediately in vanilla? small furnaces are useless ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, and thats what i have to rely on, schmuck.

not the gamebanned guy tryna talk XD

[Frozen Cold]

go outside

[Haruspex]

Some servers allows two to smelt at once which just brings it back to old furnaces but new ui. FacePunch is known to be stubborn in their updates unfortunately so I doubt they make that a normal thing.

[diablo09]

The furnace splitter mod is much much better than this new furnace update. Please roll back this update.
