Crafting: prefer objects not in recipe

Post by Granger »

Crafting Stinging Poultice: 3 nettle, 2 string, 1 Prepared Hide
In Inventory: 9 Nettles, 6 Taproot, 3 Prepared Hide
-> Craft all
Wanted result: 3 Stinging Poultice
Got result: 2 Stinging Poultice, 2 Nettles, 3 Taproot, 1 Prepared Hide and one frustrated player.

Suggestion: Selecting the items for craft the game should, when looking for items that can match goups like 'String', prefer objects which are not in the recipe. So the taproot should have been selected by the game to use for string, with the nettles having lower priority since they are specified in the formula.

And in before the lame comments: i know that the highlight thing is there - it just sucks that it pulls items in a dumb way.

I've already wasted wishbones.
I can't wait until I make a seedbag or some other simple item out of hardened leather (if things like that still exist)

The fact that the items used are highlighted should be help the player prevent these issues. It is a little bit silly though.

To be fair, even with the highlights, I'm forced to shuffle ingredients around though at times its just impossible and I have to make things one by one. It is quite frustrating, really.
W3 to W6 - Blockland. Special mentions: New Avalon, Tarn of Hotdog, Red October.
W7 - Elvenia, til we all got lazy.
W8 - Cult of R'lyeh, til the deeps called us back.
W9 - Tartarus, til death/wizards came for the land itself.
W10 - ???, ruined and forgotten.
