Not enough rivets!

[stefanw1337]

So for the grid-gate I was assuming we had enough rivets to go, the drawing shows 20 but the quests requires 18. So when I discovered it only comes with 13(!) I was pissed.. There doesn't seem to be a way to upgrade?!

Find the dwarf and put him in your house (you'll need to upgrade for a guest room)

All characters come with multiple abilities, such as giving you more rivets, that can be strengthened with the proper items in your house

The rivets and materials can be reloaded by dwarf. The lore messages say that, the suggested materials menu says that. Collect all, that is suggested by menu on left top, and you are good to go with the order

Thanks for letting us know. I did not find this very clear despite reading the lore text.

What I find very frustrating is: finding out when you're about done with a project or have put significant time into it, only to have to scrap it (instead of keeping it around to finish later like any blacksmith would).

are you going through all your rivets on a single assignment, or are they not refreshing between them?

[mxstylie]

when i get to the gate/fence it requires 18 rivets and i never have 18. also i have tried saving them by not using all the rivets on the sign for example.

the prep screen of the assignment should show that you don't have all the necessary materials, you'll have to do a different one until you get the necessary upgrades

[mxstylie]

there is a point every playthrough where i cant craft anything. i have played for 12 hours

just getting to the bridge gives you access to your dwarf friend who can increase your stock of materials, also there are no dead ends in the game as there are repeatable assignments in places like the first village

[mxstylie]

ok, i have never seen a dwarf friend i must be missing something. not sure how as i play games all day every day, this is too confusing sorry but it is

Since you're seeming to want to be thorough about expressing that, maybe should cap that off with also making a mention/reference to a future person who can help with that in the tutorial this way brand new players don't need to wonder or be confused about it since one would expect the tutorial to provide such info anyway?

Should the game do the same for every item that you can get more of later? There are a number of ways that you increase the number/quality of components in this game and the tutorial already explains that you will need to buy new things to upgrade what you have and to look for a different assignment if you can't complete the one you're looking at

No one reads the lore messages, f that.

Also the game didn't accept my sign, that I made, gave 0% after all the work. So I stopped wasting my time on his game. Nothing is clear, I can't upgrade the guesthouse nor find a dwarf this early in the campaign.. All BS. Suggest you all stop playing until there's fixes.

Dear players, (1) there is a menu, showing the materials recommended for the selected order. (2) That menu has a special sign that shows whether you are ready to do this task or not, whether you have all the materials. (3) The tutorial explains that very clear in details while crafting door. (4) The lore is telling you to go the other way instead of taking the "grid" order if Fladwick is not found. It is your decision how to handle this particular information. Ignore it or use wisely.

I agree that the game could of been setup more linearly.
But,

This is just idiocy since it doesn't take more than 2 brain cells to figure out a lot of this.
Especially since the tutorial does show you a method to use to see if you can complete a craft.
