I already wasn't planning to make any with the bullshit 12 hour timer (especially now that Crossroads are no longer a necessity), but seriously. Can't they make it harder in other ways, like reducing its quality if it's not attended to in time, or making the process take longer if you take more than 8 hours per refuel? It's way too harsh on hermits, and at 8 hours per refuel it's plain impossible.
Good. Steel should be a valuable resource requiring a stupid amount of effort to put in.
Beats the shit out of it being just another stupid timer you get to ignore 99% of the time.
Except it's not hard for larger villages at all. At one point when I was trading on legacy Haven I was talking to the trader about wallgrade steel, and apparently to him creating steel for Soldier's Swords was much easier than harvesting a mere 125 flax for a Banner. When in a larger village, people can just check every now and then and refill when necessary without worrying about it.
The only people it's truly "hard" for is hermits, and "hard" in this case means you have to plan your free time around Haven. At least I'm lucky enough to be able to play Haven during lunch break at work; those working 8 hours straight a day without being able to play in-between are simply incapable of producing steel now.
