Un-compromise the turf crafting?


Should crafting material requirements be balanced to better reflect the increased output?

  1. 1. *Excluding recipes that always yieled bulk output, like Scaled Flooring, Moon Crater, and Mutated Fungal Turfs.

    • No, keep it as it is now

    • Yes, not necessarily x4, but at least double the current values
      0
    • Yes, change all material costs for turf crafting to four times the pre-nerf values

    • No. Instead, return turf crafting to pre-nerf/multiplication values, and work on a system to let players choose how much of an item to craft, multiplying material costs to match

A ways back, an update was released that multiplied the crafting output for turfs x4, but did nothing to balance the materials cost, or in some cases even reduced it further. I would wonder if many would find it agreeable to restore that balance. Keep the x4 crafting, but also multiply the material cost to match.

Cobblestones in particular are a really big deal, so having to craft boards and collect rocky turf in order to produce it was a price worth paying, an equally worthy expenditure of effort for the benefit yielded by the craft. Not only that, but it also made it outstanding to finally be able to produce new rocky turf, among others, by learning to make the Terra Firma Tamper. I've always felt that the turf nerfs tremendously reduced the value and satisfaction of turfing and related discoveries.

On a side-note, Scaled Flooring, which already required a boss material to craft, actually had its crafting output reduced, given it initially produced 6 units of turf for its materials. I would wonder if that craft specifically could escape the weirdly specific obsession with 4 per craft that has infected turf crafting for reasons beyond my grasp.

I think it would go a great deal toward repairing the balance of the game that was destroyed by that update, and I know that in my case specifically, it would make DST a more enjoyable experience, but I know that I'm only one of many players, and wouldn't want to impose an undesirable suggestion, so to better gauge that, I've included a poll.
