[Bug] [UI] [CraftingMenu] Upgrade list not updating

[Draconis]

I encounter a bug in the crafting menus of the forge and the workbench (might be the same on the galdr table and black forge).

When I upgrade a weapon or armor and the upgrade is for free due to my crafting skill this happens:

- Item is upgraded to next level (which is okay)
- The materials stay in my inventory (which is also okay)
- In my item list on the left the upgraded item is not updated, it is still there with the old level (that's the bug)
- I cannot continue to upgrade the item. When I press the crafting button, the progress bar runs through, but nothing happens (related to the bug)


I think the list not updating after a free upgrade causes the game to look for an item with the old level. This is no longer there so the upgrade process just fails.

Quick and easy workaround: Whenever this happens you can just close the crafting menu and open it again. The list is updated then and you can continue upgrading your item.

The free upgrade itself is not an intended behavior, from which stems the issue you are describing.

^ Probably this

I had something similar, and wasn't able to upgrade that item properly until porting away and back.

In that case - can we please declare this to be not a bug but a feature?

It's definitely a bug, and not a feature. It doesn't make sense gaining bonus yield when crafting a piece of armor that requires a particular amount of resources. If anything, it only makes sense to get bonus stuff when you craft stackable items.

But it still does make sense to have a chance to need less materials on upgrading or crafting things. Because you might just be able to use your material more efficiently and produce less waste.
