Smithy to small or too many materials for blueprints

[jogi]

I found some blueprints for saddles, but i need to build this yellow or red saddles more than 75 slots material in the smithy. Please fix this.

Yes yes the devs are well aware of the flaw in the system, but they want to work on the ever more important events or SOTF before looking into editing an option with the smithy.

On a serious note.. anyone who makes mods or knows someone who makes mods is WELL AWARE of how easy it is to increase the number of slots in any structure, yet for whatever reason the devs won't even respond to these requests or complaints.

Smithy is good for storage 75 slots is better than 45 on large storage chest

Increasing the base number of slots in the smithy unbalances the game by creating a storage unit with vault level storage (or more) with a much lower cost. They need to make a higher tier, more expensive smithy specifically to cover larger requirement blueprints.

We aren't using it for storage... we are using it to craft things.

Who cares? You can't pin code a smith and it can be damaged with fists. It's no where near vault level storage. They don't need to make a new smith they just need to increase the number of slots or increase stack sizes.

As far as I know it is intentional and you will be able to craft them with the implementation of the Acsendant Tier

[RainyDayJ]

You are missing the point. People WILL use it for storage. A new tier of Smithy is the correct answer to avoid exploitation of an inexpensive (if insecure) storage.

The only other answer that makes balancing sense would be to adjust crafting recipes that exceed the limitations of the station used to craft them.

That's the problem - no one knows because the devs won't communicate with their players (something they're REALLY good at). The problem with the smithy isn't just related to ascendant bps. Go find a journeyman mosa platform bp or a paracer platform bp and see if you can make it. SPOILER! YOU CAN'T!

Like I said before, who cares if you use it for storage? It is more expensive than a storage box.

We don't need a new station. We need increased slots or increased stack sizes. This is the correct answer.

thx for answers, i think some peoples never seen a journey bp from a mosasaur saddle, they dont know how many material you need to build it. i dont want a big storage box, i want to build this wonderful item and not more. now i have a wonderful bp in inventori and cant build it.

I would hope people would not make a vault and store in the smithy....noobs....

lets just increase the stacksize from things like hide/fiber to 1000 instead of 200 because most slots needed for that. red quetz saddle needs 20k hide which wont fit into the smithy even without everything else that is needed^^

[jogi]

and if i have to couple a safe to the smithy, i want build the red blueprints

[Matrim1337]

I think this is the wrong approach altogether. The crafting materials needed are just INSANE. For all the talk about making this game nice and realistic its out the window here. Seriously how the **** can you fit 25k fiber into one saddle!? A much more clever way to handle this would be to introduce new materials. I'm thinking stuff similar to Electronics or Poly that have to be crafted first. Perhaps even add a certain type of crystal or something that is very expensive that you need to craft mastercraft/ascendant gear...

[Scrip]

I had this problem too and posted a thread on it. I have found a mastercraft bronto platform saddle and also am unable to craft it. Luckily not long after we found the actual item as well, meaning we no longer need to craft it. Personally I think if stack sizes were increased as mentioned, this should fix the problem. The smithy should not merely have more slots added as it can be exploited.

[RainyDayJ]

Maybe the solution is to not have blueprints for that high of tier item. If they were only available as items from drops or bosses that would make crafting them irrelevant. Otherwise higher tier materials maybe does make the most sense.
