My clothes shop stopped selling pigment
I need pigment and crafting pigment is a huge pain but the shop only sold it in the beginning of the game and they won't restock..... same as that sophie does not sell fertilizer I don't know why essential products are not always in stock at traders.
This seems bad and is very annoying

why is crafting pigment a "huge" pain?

It's just expensive, as the seeds must be bought from the church and they take silicon chips as payment.

Shops not restocking is a different thing, though.

it's that growing the plant for pigment takes 7 days , requires to be bought with rare silicons.

Also nitre is locked behind a level 3 worktable recipe for the pickaxe which takes quite a few resources and requires some quite heavy bars which need to be melted in a furnace which also is locked behind data discs and quite a few resources.

This would not be so bad if you did not get the quest that needed pigment so early , like if this was later in the game it's understandable but it just bloats my mission amount up so I am less free in my amount of missions and jobs.

I have bought seeds only once (first time), and then I get seeds at harvesting regularly. I get between 20 an 30 flowers each time and never had to buy new seeds so far.

About time of the mission, I bought the first pigments for the first mission requiring them, and I immediately did what was necessary to craft them myself.
The worktable was the first thing I upgraded till level 3.
I agree that it needs some investment, but I just didn't feel it so bad as you seem to have.
And if you find a mission undoable at the moment, you always can reload the day and leave it until you have done all necessary to succeed.

Well, this is just my experience, I'm not in your game and we probably don't order priorities the same way, so,..

Hope you'll find Your way to better enjoy the game.

Also when I'm not sure what I can do... I just delay missions for the mayor or so that have no limited time, this leaves some time to get better workshop to go on...

hey I still am really liking the game , just that this seems like a small oversight in my honest opinion.

I am now at the final stages for a level 3 worktable and am making the industrial furnace as we speak.

Anyway it seems to just be a little bit of of poor planning on my end , excuses and have a nice day.

No problem and no excuses needed :lunar2019grinningpig:

Everything is not always evident, especially when discovering a game.

You just have to find the right pace, and you'll feel less pressure,

Those items not being restocked is still weird. Alternatives or no. Do they have more items than before and you didn't see them on page 2 or more? I've never had those items be unavailable

You could grow a couple nitro trees...would that help?

I am sooo with you...missed them for quite a while, felt silly after the couple of weeks of game time. I kept thinking..."but the wiki says so-and-so sells this. Where the heck is it?"
