Learning Large Campfire

[BuddyCthulhu]

I cannot learn how to make a large campfire. I've learned the Survivalist skill, which gave me campfire, and while the large campfire sub-skill is green, it remains locked to me and won't let me pay the 2 KP to learn it. Any suggestions?

If it is orange, and you keep trying to learn it by clicking on the button with the number of available feat points and it does not turn away from orange, this is a very very common bug that can be worked around by actually double clicking the feat image in the feat's window, rather than the learn button.

If it is green, you already know it. Unlike the small campfire, it is build with a construction hamme. Not through your inventory.

Thanks folks! It turns out, as steventirey noted, most of the non-basic crafting is done through specific tools and the radial menu, which I was unaware of(and kinda mystified by that design choice . . .)

Mystified by that design choice???? Seriously? Guess you are super new to Survival games and Conan. It was updated and massively overhauled with 3.0. The construction hammer is superior to that of the old system by a mile. Its also the same type of system used in MANY survival sandbox games.

You've misunderstood, Mr. ManyFirearms, I was referring to making crafting recipes scattered all over the place. A more efficient and intuitive design would let you access all the recipes in the crafting grid on the character, sorted into categories.

Oh, and thanks for the condescension.

I think the crafting hammer, although needing an quick-sloot, which can get annoying, is a way better design-choice, than crafting directly in the invetory, regardless of category-tabs.

You have two modes: the normal mode craft all crafting-stations and nearly all building-pieces with the hammer. Decorations and decorative functioning bulding-pieces (like fountains, with the exception of the basic one) are mostly crafted at the artisans-table.

The only (activated) functioning building-piece I know is crafted at the carpenters bench: the elevators (you have a vertical and even a horizontal onw.) Elevators can get picked up again. (you won't get the resources back, but the crafted elevator. So you even can take it with you and use it as an easy bridge, if you're out in the world. A good alternative to the bridge-spell imho. You don't need a foundation - at least not for the horizontal elevator.)

And creative mode: ALL building pieces are then set with the hammer, Including decorations, decorative functioning buildings and elevators. So if you miss something to build at the artisans table, which you definitly could, you're probably in creative mode. (I noticed that, when I wanted to create a religous decoration. They are made at a shrine. So, they're easy to see.)

There are two other things, which are crafted at the ALCHEMY-table: the two special-lights: wich-frie (burns blue) and the other, which burns purple. (I forgot the name)
Several decorative lights (like candles of varous colours and designs) are also made at the artrisans table, however.

The VAULT is also created at the artisans table. And if you learned the vault, then you also learned to make crates of different sizes. These are also made at the artisans table. I just think, this game lacks normal cupboards... (instead you have two kinds of chests, 4 kinds of crates and the vault. But the latter is so huge, that it is nearly useless imho. At least for Single player.)

What the game lacks, too, are large walls. ARK implemented them, after the huge success of the mod "structures plus" which had (and has) them, Even in various sizes and even flexible ones, where you can set the height, when you build them.

What is also not so easy, is to find special things to learn.
Pens and wheel of pains, for example, are not at the construction-tab, but the survival-tab... I use the yellow lotus-potion from time to time. If you use this, you need to learn all knowledge-feats again. And I search every time for several advanced things, because they are not there, where I suppose, they are.
(This is realy annoying. imho. Sadly, only admin-mode enables you to reset attribute-points only. Imho., there should be a potion, which will enable you to reset attributes only. Much more difficult to get then yellow lotus, of course.)

All those decrorations cost knoledge points. So I didn't bother to learn them, since there much more important things.

That bug is still happening? So is the crafting bug where you can't always craft multiples at a crafting bench. You'd think they would have fixed this stuff by now. I mean, they can do a near complete overhaul for 3.0 but these bugs have been around for years...

Yes, I noticed that. Sometimes the "craft all" button just won't react. There is a workaround however: craft 1, And THEN click on the "craft all". This functions every time for me, so I'm doing that automtically, meanwhile...
