W16.1 steelmaking process is too fast

[NightMind]

Just what it says. Refilling steel every 8 hours is very inconvenient for a hermit/solo player. Please, reduce the timeline back to 12 hours for the fast world. Sure, it may make the steel production take longer, but at least you can sleep and work without worrying about resupplying the coals to your itty bitty crucible. Alternatively, make it take 12 hours (18 main world) with bellows available to reduce time to 8 hours (12 main world) so you get to control refills.

+1 yes please

Very much this! Please implement this, especially for the clumsy person like me who sleeps through the alarm and works too much hours!

steelmaking process is too fast

You're getting at the symptom, but not the root of the problem.

A better solution would be to allow more fuel in the crucible, or to save progress if fuel runs out.

Probably a useless suggestion since I doubt we will get another fast timer world.

Devs specifically exempted steel from preserving progress, so I am reasonably sure they want this step hard and annoying.

Who knows. These experimental worlds were supposed to be played fast and loose, so if the "two worlds" idea sticks it might happen again.

The gimmick has been played out and will not return next short world.
We will get another new rule to play out.
Maybe next world is expanding world from a small central area. The possibilities are endless.

another steelmaking thread.

its an acknowledged problem, but we just got ducks so hang on a bit longer okay?
