Question about things like crafting, and gathering...

I heard on the ProJared video, it takes a long time, sometimes hours, or a whole day. Do you still do these things when you're not playing?

I don't really understand what your asking, some stuff takes along time, some stuff dosnt. building a house uses hundreds of materials so that's a chunk of time. crafting usually only takes a minute if you have the materials ready.

Making steel, cheese and to a lesser extent silk take a somewhat long time but these are all thing that either lead to top of the line gear or top of the line stats, endgame shit in other words. Everything else is fairly fast.

In the current game world, yes, some things will take a lot of time. In the new version that's coming out Friday so far we know that a house is costing much less materials and there is some automation and time-saving features.

There are certain long-term actions that generally are done while you're offline: Smelting steel, aging cheese, mating moths, growing crops, and dealing with cattle. There isn't anything you can do to speed these things up but for the most part the challenge with them is just waiting. After the initial input, such as finding a mating pair of moths or planting crops, there's no other input necessary until you're ready to gather from them.

Most actions require player input in short, regular intervals to continue such as mining, chopping trees, digging clay, smelting ore, or crafting items. For the most part there is very little that you can do while offline.
