Barkboat Bug [Uncapped Birchbark use]

Post by Projeear »

So, make a barkboat. It requires 1 string, 1 branch, 1 bark, 1 birchbark.

Grab enough materials for three barkboats (Or two, or more, I guess), and Craft All. It then eats all three birchbark, spent on one Barkboat, whilst other materials are spent as usual.

Not sure if it does the same for singular "Craft".

It's a well known bug. Server not optimally uses birch bark, which also counts as regular bark. Same reason as with hardened leather batch-crafting bug.

That's what I thought, too, but what he's describing isn't the same thing if I'm reading it correctly. Projeear is saying it uses all three birch bark on the first boat.
Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.

well, op said for three barkboats (Or two, or more, I guess), so im guessing what Ender said just fits.

always remember that the item you put in your inventory LAST will be used FIRST.
if you put birch barks in your inventory LAST, then one bark boat will use 2 birch barks for one boat.
to avoid that, you always pick birch barks first, put them in your invent and normal barks last, and you are fine using "Craft All" button.
(although you cant avoid this when you make hardened-leather)

Apologies, I didn't do much testing.

Grabbed materials, Birchbark (3) last. Craft All. = One boat, -3 birchbark, -1 all other materials.
Grabbed more Birchbark (2). Craft all. = One boat, -2 Birchbark, -1 all over materials.
