Hardened leather glitch

[BrodytheMad]

Okay so I was making hardened leather and I had two beeswax and two normal leather and one hardened in my inventory. I had made one hardened and i was about to leave when i saw the little test tube whatever still pop up. So i let it go and it used my previously made hardened leather mixed with my normal leather to make one more hardened leather. I'm sorry but this really annoyed me. Please fix this.

Some people claim this is intended behaviour, that seems weird, shouldn't be too hard to exclude Hardened Leather from the crafting of Hardened Leather.

The only intention is that hardened leather be substitutable for leather where required, but the intention was not for it to be a substitute in the OP formula. I also thought it was already fixed when I stepped in the same trap a week ago.

...and yes, it's super-fucking annoying when you get caught out.

Jorb wrote in the announcements thread that this behaviour is intentional so that the hardened leather can be used everywhere leather is required.

This is exactly what I'm referring to where he concedes that they did not think of 'hardened leather to be used as leather to make hardened leather' and that it will be fixed... iirc.

+1 on this being annoying, even if intentional. (i lost my whole stash of beeswax in one fell swoop, and now i can't get any more since hives are bugged to high heaven... [frown])

If I may be so bold as to make a "realism" argument... why exactly do the devs WANT this interchangeability in the first place? If i wanted to make a pair of leather pants irl (and god knows, i don't), i wouldn't used boiled, hardened, rigid leather like i would use for a piece of armor or a trunk or footlocker or something like that.

But yeah... between this issue and the screwy beehives, i'm pretty bummed about the whole leather scene.

Because they like fucking with you.

this also prevents you from using the 'craft all' button because when the hardened leather is made and you still have beeswax it will continue crafting all using the hardened leather. definitely a bad bug.

[Onionfighter]

Heh, I haven't even tried making hardened leather and I am annoyed by this bug. It really should be changed.

BACK IN MY DAY this bug applied to tea as well. and beer. and rennet. you could only make one at a time or it would keep filling the first container. and we had to do it naked in a snowstorm and we liked it!
