Ok, the Stone hammer

[wiidad]

To make this hammer costs 100 stone including the 20 for the forge. The entire world has approx 60 laying around freely. After climbing every mountain top and exploring every nook and cranny. So now we ask how can a single item cost more than the total number of free stone in the world? Easy, the Chkn hammer allows us to break the minerals but only lasts long enough to break 4 of them before it breaks. Also if you look at the durability of the stone hammer it has only enough duribility to break maybe 5 mineral stones before breaking. I am not sure how much metal one can get from 5 minerals with this stone hammer, but 4 mineral stones gave me enough silica to make 1 glass with the chkn hammer. So 1 metal per 60 stone to replace the hammer. This is not remotely balanced.

I believe I have reached the limits in this crafting system at this point.
Maybe, If there were pets that could mine, then this expensive hammer would no longer be needed, but thats not the point.

Also starting again and using a friend as a bank to deliver pet parts from one world to the other has allowed us alot more pet part variety. Just saying... I guess it could work for stone too... but who has the time ^^

While I love this concept and like the game even in early access. I guess its time to wait until the next big update.

Hammer is actually only 20 stones, there is a minor glitch with the recipe and UI that makes it confusing. This has already been fixed and will be rolled out soon.

As for reaching the limit of crafting/progression, we will be increasing the size of the world very soon. There is quite a bit of content that is ready to go but the limited world size prevents us from spawning it. The good news is we have already built the tech to generate a much larger world so this will be landing fairly soon. It is our next priority after we finish our optimization pass on world streaming stuttering which is planned to land within the next few weeks.

wow, that sounds great! Also, I am so glad the stone hammer is only 20 stones instead of 20 cut stone at 4 stone each! now I can continue my exploration of this brave new world. ^^
