After releasing the patch 1.31 on german markets we figured out that we have to make some changes to the crafting system.
1. The cooldown of all useable products will be reduced to 10 minutes (written before)
2. We will reduce the difficult of the starting recipes that means you will need less products to craft the start items until a skill value of 100
3. We want to add some more start recipes which will build an own chain for example: You do a job to get leather after you found one leather you will be able to craft it to “better” leather. This “better” leather can be used to create “much better” leather with “much better” leather you will be able to create an item to use. As you can see with that chain you will be able to find just one leather and craft 4 times. (These chains are planned for every profession until a skill value of 25 or something like that).
Changes in crafting frontend:
I have made some changes to crafting frontend. First i converted it to the new screen layout. Second you will have a better overview about what products you need and which you already have.
HMm, looks better by this patch, good thing 🙂
Ahh, rainy, you’re a lucky guy – because I’m a (straight ^^) guy too, otherwise I’d ask you to marry me! 😀
Thanks – sounds & looks great!
And tells us we can continue to make suggestions, the gods of code are answering [at least some] of our prayers 😉
Love it.
Nice done guys. May I ask how is English translation progressing on Beta?, cheers
they already started with translations i think they will be finished next week
making a much better better leather… rainy, will it be added as a minor fix of 1.31, or we’ll have to wait 1.32 for that one?

Admins, these products can be used blacksmith or why do I need?
I like that 🙂
@JoxerTM
It will be a hotfix in 1.31 on german market it is already released also on beta but there still some recipes missing.
For all of you who waiting for your market i heard that the translations as far as i know in english are much earlier done than next week so maybe we can update some markets end of this week to 1.31
rainy, What about my question??
BAR BRAWL !
rainy, you absolutely rock! 🙂
thanks man.
Hi Devs!
Nice post 😉
Did you think about my proposal of change character class? And what?
Waiting for an answer…
Good Luck 😉
I discovered something on the west db the other day, apparently you won’t be able to craft easy stuff anymore once you’ve passed a certain amount of skill points?
I only have 15 skill points in my current craft, but when I reach 100 skill points, the site says I won’t be able to craft the first 4 items…
Or did I totally misunderstood that?
You’re still able to craft them – but you don’t get a crafting skill point anymore.
ok, thanks for the info 🙂
will we be able to sell multible thing like grain and other inggridiens in the future
Future? Back to the future!! 😀
It was already possible on Amchitka v1.30, but due to some flaws it was removed before 1.30 hit Alamogordo…
I’d love to see it back, too!
At the next update, I would love to see an easy way to delete telegrams.
Will the new town graphical pack be included in the next patch ?
Also, I experience a unrealistic problem related to crafting. Everytime I have to make a Knife one Hammer is lost. Normally, it shouldn’t be lost because it’s a tool not a resource. Please note this suggestion.
@Bullet
Problems in finding hammers?
A hammer is a resource. You can find it with a job, just like wood, molten iron and granite blocks.
Let’s turn the problem on the other side. For example you want to make a simple chair (in real life). You need some wood, nails, a saw and a hammer. Normally, you would “waste” your resources to make it (wood and nail), but the tools, used to build it (saw and hammer) will remain, so you can make other things with the same tools next time. Now you got the idea ?
In game, the tools are counted as resources (and I got experience, don’t try to explain me basic things) but it’s ridiculous, because…well I explained in the post above. Sadly the game engine/concept makes no difference betwees resources and tools.
Ok, the west is no real life. And a hammer can be damaged while you’re doing things with it.
It should have an expire date then. The west is supporsed to simulate the life in the Old west, no ?
It’s supposed to simulate only the wild west, not the reality. And I hate those people who only now realize the west doesn’t simulate the real life.
Take some examples:
Why do duels have precisely 8 rounds, in real life they could end from the first shot, but never had a precise amount of time.
Why are some clothes so expensive when in real life they would cost only a few hundreds $ at the most?
The west = no real life. Deal with it!
unless you live in my house, tools always go missing,,,,food, money, whole items and clothes too.
left sock, keys, and even cd,s
must be the tooth fairy.
in truth, i do see a hammer as a tool and not a resource, a minor mistake , angle of looking at things that can be over looked.
funny enough, found my gran dads tools to make tools, yup.
tools that make other tools,
they are the oddest looking lumps of metal, measurement drills and sorts.
the west should have a real life feel to it, but with a better community building program/system/set up/platform/
ps, i would like to have a few words with the marketing department.(in the form of hand gestures)
post something moreee!! 😀
Yeah, it gets quite boring.
realy lol
gonna be a few weeks to months of bug hunt im guessing.
@classius
yay you cant be more right on this :P, why someone never try make a game like rela life? simple, Real life is mostly boring, too many thinkg to do , obligations, …. boring at the end only few times Real life can give you nice things soo why we never see a game like real life? because would be a FAIL hehe soo The west dont give reality at 100% gives us what we like from real life, thats all, litle think to do that are funny and thats all
By the way NICE HOLIDAYS DEVS
