Was almost perfect, then this...

You slowed the workbench production rate. I seriously hate it. Please, if someone wants to slow their manual production times give them that option. But don't do it for players like me who strongly dislike the slowdown.

Still 5 stars.

Just how much manual crafting are you doing? Aside from a few one offs, you should be automating things.

[m.wolfboy]

True, but after over 950 hours of gameplay it's tough to change the way I play. Well, maybe I just need to swallow my feelings of annoyance and take what's given. It's still a very good game.

Used to be 5 stars, now 4.5

Yeah, Man's Best Friend is right, why don't you build a few small factories for it?

Sometimes you even can use Somersloops to double the output and save again time..

I have two of them too, right to the main bench and base.

I don't see it as a problem, I see it as a motivation to move on to what most of us like, automation.

Automate. Not manually craft. Manual crafting is for Tier 0. Not really anything after that.

Did they actually slow it? Or did they just synchronise the 'tink tink' with the movement of the progress bar?

[Lywelyn]

i didn't noticed they make it slower..

unless you are in tier 0-1 you barely touch it anymore.

where's your automation pioneer ?

You are correct. It was an audio change only -- the actual rate of crafting remains the same as before. See the following in the 'Audio' section in the v1.0.0.4 patch notes:

"Fixed a the Work bench crafting SFX not being in sync with the visuals"

No harm done :)

I’m just annoyed you have to hand craft inhalers.

You notably cannot automate SAM Fluctuators until you unlock manufacturers, but if you do a big exploration run, you may potentially have use for a thousand or so of them before that point.

Contrary to popular belief, yelling at the clouds has many benefits, chief of which is blood pressure reduction. Keep at it.

Dude, don't sweat it wolfboy. Your response is more civil than 80% of the threads that report an annoyance.

I used to handcraft A LOT in the early access session I did. But that also meant I always postponed automation. In my current session I try to automate as soon as possible and it does feel a lot better on the whole. Yes, it takes longer at first and you sometimes have to do that annoying thing before you get the item (for me that was to set up trains), but afterwards it does make the playthrough more satisfying.
