Remove bone clay from potters clay

Since Potter's Clay isn't supposed to be for making HQ clay but infact just for the colour of it as said by the devs in the last stream, bone clay should be removed from the recipe with how much of a nightmare it actually is to make bone clay since its almost impossible to get better Q potters clay than the bone clay you put in to it. If its "just for the colour" then it should be way more easily accessible.

If they REALLY want it to be shit Q and just for colour then revert to the old recipe of ball,gray,acre + brick and remove the brick Q from the equation or just have it ball/gray/acre. Though, since its end result is to just be a pink brick, you should also get 3 pieces out from requiring 3 pieces of clay to craft it.




Or alternatively y'know, bring back the old recipe and let us have high q clay that isn't cancer to make.

Not quite sure that old recipe can be returned - it will just make potter clay mandatory requirement for everyone.
But yeah, using fine clay (pit clay or soap clay) would make things definitely better.

I don't think bone clay is there for quality, but rather to make it expensive (since it's used for the minehole too).

Personally I think it's really stupid that players have to pick between quality and design. Sure it's fun for the first 10 minutes to see that design changed with the materials you use. But then you learn quality is the focus of the game and you have to give up design for everything that has quality.

If pink clay is supposed to be a design thing, and since it can't be higher q than bone clay, I'm all for changing the recipe

acre+grey+brick would fit it nicely above natural ball clay but below soap or bone. For spammable brick uses. Also makes it accessible for "pretty".

Another idea: 1 ball/acre clay + 1 grey clay = 2 potters clay equal to the ball/acre clay quality.

Gives some use for low Q grey clay and makes the credo mechanically useful for stretching your pre-bone clay reserves without an overpowered/meta clay spiraling component.
