Fur Armor WAY too expensive

[Croak]

EDIT: I need to put an edit up here for all the mindless comments saying I'm whining and telling me to get over it. This is feedback. Because the game is in alpha. As in it is MY OPINION that the fur armor is currently too expensive. If you're going to spam the comments with ♥♥♥♥ like "Quit whining and farm" then please go spend your precious time elsewhere.

You need something like 350 pelts to make it, plus hide, plus metal ingots. It's great, but holy mother of god is it too expensive. Please nerf how many pelts (to around 20-30 per piece) you need or at least make pelts drop as often or even instead of hides on the creatures that drop them.

didnt really have a problem getting them one Mammoth drops 20-30 pelt, the bigger problem is that the whole suit weights 48, a bit high for armor :)

It's like... the ice age area is SUPPOSED to be a high level region that is supposed to be hard to access

[Raven]

considering that the fur armor set is the ONLY thing using pelts atm, of course its expensive. if each part took one pelt, there would be no reason to introduce them. just make hide armor warmer.
having them at the level that theyre at means players actually have to do SOMETHING to get them, rather than being given them on a silver tray, saying here you go *pat on head*

get any dino, kill any of the three creatures that drop them and get off and harvest with metal axe. done.

It's fine the way it is. When this game came out everyone complained about oil, metal, perals, paste. Now all of that easy to get. The game needs aspects that make it hard (or a grind if you want to be that kind of person.)

It takes like 30 min to collect enough pelt to make the full set

I like to think and hope they are just place holders untill a QOL update and recipe changes

It kind of breaks the feel of the game to me. The huge material list just screams "this is an arbitrary game mechanic" instead of adding to the immersive feel of hunting and gathering the materials.

I have a survival sim mod loadout for skyrim that feels so much more realistic and practical despite being many many times harder than Ark.

Ark seems determined to use grinding time in place of any interesting form of difficulty.

costs too much leather? COSTS TOO MUCH LEATHER?! dude my guild has too much leather to even wipe our asses with. we have over 5k leather, over 10k leather, and we NEED to use it up, and this fur armor will help ever so slightly in burning that leather

That's why I play with maximum harvest health and maximum harvest amount on my single player ARK. It is the same problem with all ingredients. You would have to deforest a whole peninsula just to make a tiny log cabin...

Flak is usefull and doesnt take that much metal. Maybe 6 metal rocks and some early game items.

Isn't Flak made out of metal so therefore it should weigh heavier than fur armor no?

Aluminum.

My biggest issue with it is that yes, it only takes 30 minutes to collect. But when you're freezing to death all 30 minutes, it becomes less fun and more irritating/grindy. Plus, the pelts are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ heavy, compared to the hides. Same weight as a log or a stone. Do I really need 175lbs of pelts to cover my ass?

[Strykewolf]

Now if they would just adjust the whole hot/cold thing to reflect some sort of reality/sanity...they'd be getting somewhere. :D

It's also super expensive in engrams
