Wish list / Please reconsider some of the new changes to metal ores and weapon crafting
« on: February 06, 2010, 07:39:48 am »
1. The weight of iron ores and steel stocks: it made more sense to me the way it was before, that combining the iron ores and coal produces steel sludge weighing the same, but then the weight reduces when the sludge is refined. This is more realistic, like a blast furnace process, where the steel produced weighs less than the inserted raw material.
2. Another thing about the weights, when creating swords for eg. the weight reduces by hammering the stocks into alpha blades, then further into beta etc. I think it makes more sense to have the weight consistant through the hammering processes, the way it was before, after all, no material is removed in this process. Also, if one chooses to make stock into alpha into beta into delta then superheat and hammer back to stock, one would actually have his workpiece gaining mass at the last process... Makes no sense to me.
3. Heating steel stock into heated steel stock in order to craft weapons now requires to use the 'work w stock' book. It means that someone who chooses not to learn metallurgy, but make weapons, must find someone who can heat stocks for them. I think it should be possible to heat stock with all metal working and crafting skills, as it was before.
Thanks and hope my input will help.
