Hi, reworked the crafting and mission look in inventory menu. I planned to do this later, but a lot players were complaining that it looks too complicated on first sight and not common to other games.
So I have used the free holidays time to make it look much more simpler.
The actual crafting mechanics is still the same - combination of item in left hand, item or tool in right hand, and item the character is standing nearby.
Now the crafting area in inventory menu is expanded. Crafting and Missions Tabs were added - to switch the view between them. Later a "Clothing" tab will be added - displaying the character and clothing slots.
The crafting shows available and all recipes, where:
1) Available show recipes that can be done (if having enough calories)
Underneath it shows similar recipes that can be done but some item is missing.
Similar recipes will not more include recipes showed above within available ones.
2) All shows all recipes. But now they can be selected by categories showing recipes only for eating, drinking, weapons, traps, basebuilding etc.
I will also try to sort them more logically, starting with most common ones.
I hope this will bring much better overview for the players.
Missions Tab:
The missions have been slightly changed as well. You can see Active and Completed missions.
There was some issue with leveling up too fast, this was changed.
Also you can complete the mission without it being assigned. (No need to craft something just for the mission, if you have already done it).
IMPORTANT:
Please keep in mind - this is still under development and I am testing mostly the layout and mechanics.
I plan to hire artist to make nice graphic prior the full game release.
The same goes for translations to other languages as a lot of texts were added.
Doing it now and after each change would be not efficient and highly costly.
Therefore i would like to ask you for your understanding and patience.
Next I would like to continue to work on main mechanics such as horses, firearms and clothing.
Also I plan to introduce game discord soon, so you can directly give feedback, get help or chat/voice with me if you have any issues or would like to propose an idea.
Thank you very much for your support and feedback.
And wishing you all a better 2021 year!
