¿How the heck do i craft anything?

[n3mes1s]

I dont understand the crafting system of this game. I go to an anvil, i click on craft and i have two slots , one with the name "resource" and other one empty. What is supossed to be the first slot, the tool i want to use to craft?, and how i get a list of items available to craft? i just dont get it lol.

No, the thing you mentioned is where you sharpen tools, you select the tool you want to sharpen and the wetstone you want to use, it is not an anvil. Go to the blueprint table and open it, that's where you can build an anvil and other workstations, if you have unlocked those techs in the tech tree.

it's frustrating that the tutorial information isnt available after the lesson is completed.

but i think you might want to start the game over on a new file and go a bit slower and read the tutorial as it goes by

btw there is a very detailed official wiki out there. Just check it out. Everything explained. So if you have no clue, pay it a visit:

What tutorials? lol. The only tutorials i have are the ones in the options menu, that consist in just a few lines of text at most....

that's what i mean; you skipped it all

they just slide it in each quest as the early game progresses

but as mentioned above, just use the wiki, it's all there in guides and each fabrication center and their recipes linked together comprehensively

Not sure what's the problem, but there are surprisingly much people complaining about not to know what or how to do stuff in this game. Maybe it's hard when this is the first game of it's kind and you never played something like it before.

For me it's not understandable. Just explore, talk to NPC and most important: Read what they say. If someones just rush through the text skipping everything then ye you might get lost.

Donkey tells you how to get corpses, Yorrick tells you about the corpse rating. Bishop tells you about Church, faith, sermons and income. Inn keeper and blacksmith telling you something about crafting.

This is really not meant bad, I just wonder.

"that's what i mean; you skipped it all"
There is no freaking tutorial in the game, at least not today, when I played at least.

I didnt skip anything. I always play tutorials when they are available in any single game. This game just dont have any tutorials... unless you mean the couple of short ones you get in the very beginning when the story is not even started... in any case i already understand how crafting works and some other things. It took me two hours investigating..

Im still trying to give this game i try, because it looks interesting, but it is just really confusing. Much much confusing that any other survival games i tried, by far. The lack of explanations about quests or how things work added to the fact that there are no actual tutorials, well makes this game really hard to understand.

i get the feeling, a lot of games put in stages to the tutorial quests so that you can't make excuses like these, because people often do

i know the dialog isnt recorded to be re-read later, which is unfortunate, i would prefer that as well

but the game sells enough copies that there are plenty people who read the dialog as it happens

what i'm saying you skipped is all that quest dialog
there were conversations about everything, but if you clicked through it quickly because it seemed like 'plot' or whatever, then you will have missed the instructions that you seek

anyway, none of that really matters because everything is on the wiki, it is extremely comprehensive

Hm, again, no i didnt skip any quest dialog. I read everything so far... i still dont understand what you mean :) and yeah sure they tell you about the very basic stuff but i think the main problem is, some game mechanics are really designed in a wrong way, and the translation of the languaje i think is confusing. Its like when you go to an anvil to repair your axe, but the translation says "make", instead of "repair" or whatever. I dunno how it is in english (im probably going to try it later) but in spanish, "fabricar" is not near the same as "reparar" lol.

[Optimism]

there's a grinding wheel that's for repairing tools and there's an anvil that's for making nails and iron pieces

they are different

when you meet with the blacksmith and get your first grind stone he explains this all clearly

this is what i mean
