Smithing Station Recipe

[Roamer.GFX]

Smithing Station Recipe should not use Brittle Shards.
Brittle Shards is a finite resource and if u spend all your Shards collected in the Yard and/or Smiting station was destroyed by enemy - you will not be able to upgrade weapons and armors any more.

PLS change the Recipe to use infinite resources

It uses ONE brittle marble and ONE brittle quartzite. There are 100+ of these at least in the game, which can be found by breaking the corresponding rocks and/or exploring labs, chests, etc. Also later (around mid game) you get a recipe unlock to make those from insect parts.

EDIT: to be clear, I've reached mid-game and have accumulated 100+ brittle shards of each after upgrading multiple weapons/armor to level 5 (which is the max level for brittle). I have the entire mid/upper yard (shed area etc) to still explore so there's bound to be a lot more in those areas too.

Two examples:
1. But if i want to place 1000 Smithin Stations as a decoration?
2. I collected all Brittles in the game and converted em into wetstones. Ant destroyed my Smithing Station. What should i do now?

You can make brittle shards from bug parts, it's a recipe unlock.
As for the 1000 smithing stations....that's a little bizarre, but you do you? You could go into creative or never upgrade your gear. This is a survival game, so it makes sense to somewhat limit resources.

Wait, my mistake, now I get it... Shards cannot be crafted indeed. Must be an oversight if you cannot repair your Smithing Station...

that is why devs should change the recipe of Smiting Station to be with infinite resources

Are you sure you found all available nodes? including the ones in the bike basket?

It does seem like a very bad idea to make such an essential production building require a limited-availability item.

Regardless of how plentiful the brittle marble and quartzite are, at some point, you ARE going to run out unless you plan ahead and save some specifically for the scenario where you want/need to build/rebuild the smithing station. Which is something that didn't even occur to me to do...until reading this thread.
