crafting should show how many units are crafted

[ArubaroBeefalo]

i think this was already suggested but well, bad memory.

There are a lot of recipes that, when crafted, gives more than 1 unit like turf, napsack, bathbombs (hahaha) and others. Would be a nice addition if the crafting icon has a "x4", "x whatever" so we can know before crafting how many units we will get. Imagine a new player that notice there is a turf made of DF scales, they might not craft it if thinks that they will only get 1 piece of turf per DF scale

Is that a tacit suggestion within a suggestion to increase the number of bathbombs from each craft? Cause it's currently one and it can get a bit tedious to collect all the lunar blooms, be it their only non-event use. I'd totally like to get more than one for each craft.

is there any point to bath bombs or am i missing something?

There was. With them you could farm a lot of moon glass but then it was nerfed and Lunar Grotto didn't help either, giving a far better efficient way to gather moon glass.

no, even if it gives 10 units the grotto will be better and enough to get moon glass before CC.

I think the hotsprings should drop all kind of gems instead of just blue and red ones. Wormwood was made with a green gem from the moon so it has sense lore wise

edit: i didnt craft them since the grotto was added but i remember being 3, maybe im thinking about the lunar essence from the mad science station...

yup, you must be confusing them with the lunar essence, the bath bombs require 6 blossoms and 1 nitre a piece. They might be a little weak but idk, bombing 3-5 hot springs each visit is usually enough for my glass sword needs before the champion is defeated, whereas Lunar Grotto often feels too out of the way where I mainly visit to get mole rat noses for the milkmade hat.

That said, Bath bomb could really use a functional rework where it gets new special use for different lakes like ridding a regular or swamp lake of its frog and mosquito spawning properties for a while, boosting the oasis item pool, preventing lavae from spawning, providing a toadstool poisoning aura for eel lakes, scaring away nightmare creatures in ruins lakes etc, as well as your great suggestion where they have a chance to spawn any gem from frozen lunar lakes.

now might be less of a pain since the trees were added to the regrowth mechanic but before to get few bombs... you not only needed to chop a good amount of trees but also replant them which was kinda tireshome. The grotto might be far depending of the world gen but you can always take the opportunity to grab some blue caps and come back to base with arround 40 glass which should last a good amount of time

your suggestion about giving more effects on different ponds is very interesting

also i guess that if klei decide to add more moon tier crafteables their value will raise

This is 800 IQ, i hate that lakes look so good but you can't base next to them (without extremely expensive and tedious mob telelocation)
