Yinlock posted:it is perhaps too chill, as the basic furnace takes maybe 300 years to smelt something I made 4 basic furnaces to start. Every night, I would set them to crank out some material, be it copper, bronze, charcoal, glass. When I could make civil furnaces, I made 4 of those and sold the basic furnaces. Then I got the industrial furnaces. I made 4 of those and sold the civil furnaces. I've never seen a need (yet) to have more than one of the other crafting stations, so I've kept those to one each. But I always keep at least 4 furnaces. If you only built one furnace, you're the one who hosed up and isn't the game's fault.

Basic furnaces are so cheap and cover the materials you always need more of that it becomes worth keeping a dozen around until you're rolling in enough materials to make infinite civils/industrials.

Holy poo poo, when you're looking inside a storage chest in your yard theres a little banner at the top of the screen that lets you switch to any storage chest on your property without having to run around and interact with them or even leave the inventory screen!!

Regarding basic furnaces, it seems to me that while the civil furnace can spit out the same materials faster, they take up disproportionately more space. Since in the long run space will be your limiting factor, it’s worth it to keep the basic ones around as long as you’re still using copper/bronze. I haven’t actually run the numbers (bars per hour per square foot?) so this is just an eyeball estimation.

While my wife and I both played Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons games in the distant past, our most recent frame of reference for games like this is Stardew Valley. While I enjoyed Stardew Valley, there were always some things that annoyed me (I felt like a lot of information wasn't easily surfaced in the game and I was constantly referring to a wiki for information). This game does not require that. Plus, this game is filled with a ton of quality of life features. Here is a (non-comprehensive) list of things I've discovered or been surprised by in this game:

Since in the long run space will be your limiting factor, it’s worth it to keep the basic ones around as long as you’re still using copper/bronze. Space is your limiting factor, but your footprint increases pretty slowly unless you're going whole-hog tree farming, so it's never been an issue for me - and the increase in crafting station footprint gets rapidly mitigated when you get the Comprehensive Cutter and Comprehensive Grinder, which operate using ore and not ingots; this allows you to cut down to a smaller number of furnaces with no real loss of productivity.

In my quest for absolute efficiency I have flown too close to the sun and got a C-difficulty commission in the second week. I thought it was for the DeeDee, since that's what the mayors been talking about, but it's actually for a DeeDee Stop which I don't even have the recipe for yet

There will be a mission to hold several after you finish the dee Dee transport mission and Petra gives you the plans then.

Portia is closer to a harvest moon with light combat and an xp bar. But I feel ya on wanting a Fantasy Life 2, that game was oddly fun for how remarkably grindy it was.

Everyone post some character/workshop pictures! I'm currently mid-Fall. Just finished the land run. Repaired the lift, but haven't fixed the pipe yet.  The entrance to my workshop is flanked by an awesome monument and also a stone pillar  I have all my storage separated into about 15 metal storage bins. The ones in this picture are Ruins Generic (for items that can be found in any ruins), Ruins 1 Relics, Ruins 2 Relics, Farming Items, Gifts & Misc. To the right of the cooking station is Ingredients, Meals & Medicine, and Fish.  My crafting area is made up of 4 Industrial Furnaces and then one of each of the other crafting stations. The storages I have here are: Monster Drops, Raw Mats 1, Raw Mats 2, Crafted Mats (for bars and other intermediate items), Equipables, and Housing Items.  I have my planters right out in front of my house so I remember to fertilize daily.

The tonal contrast in this game makes for some funny situations. The priest telling you to bring any data disks for him to destroy because they contain the technology that ended the world gets its own cutscene, and then about eight seconds later I ran over to the research lab and hand them a sack full of them only for them to say "ooooh there's blueprints for a blender in here"

Throw the weird jar artifact out on your front lawn asap. Random assholes will get 25-30 extra relationship points every couple of days. It's amusing. I have to keep reminding myself that there aren't time limits for this game aside from some basic commissions and sidequests. (That you can ignore till you have what they want)

They wear the exact same long sweaters, have long brown hair, and constantly talk about plants and books.

I feel like I'm playing McDonald's Monopoly with the artifacts. I have like all but one piece of several, and of the ones I have, I have tons. I don't know if I want to burn a few days in the ruins just mining everything. Also, I keep a level one pick around just for ruin diving because it saves stamina at the expense of a little experience per swing. Good idea or bad idea?

Good news for artifact-divers: as you progress in the main plot, you'll get notifications that better scanners are available. Each one costs a few thousand Gols, but it's a) a permanent upgrade; b) works at all ruins; c) lets you see father; c) lets you see what the marker is; and d) eventually lets you track multiple objects at once So if you're finding artifact hunting boring or frustrating, the answer is to just ignore it until you get a better scanner. Also, I've finished the main plot and am doing the bonus plot and man the writing on it is actually more solid and dark than the other plot writing when you meet your pa again and it turns out you're actually rightfully pretty pissed and unwilling to immediately reconcile

I was forty three hours into this when I stopped playing the beta. I was nowhere near discovering a lot of what was happening (game moments many of you lot are past,) just industriously (haha) moving along my own path. Now the full game is out I started again, despite fearing I'd be bored of doing the same things again. I'm not. It's an escape to world where your doing stuff gets you a nice little tangible feeling of achievement. There's always something small to do and you can lose yourself in it.

Yeah, the game's both a very good gently caress-around game, and has serious "just one more day!" hooks. Had it wishlisted a long time ago because a streamer I follow showed it off in early access and forgot all about it until I got a "hey we just launched, we'll honor the Early Access price for 24 hours" and was like "well, fair play, guess I'll buy". Don't regret it. Already got nearly 60 hours in it.
