Fuel indicator on crucible

Post by Drevar »

Would it be possible to get a fuel level indicator on the alloying crucible? Just a simple popup like the fireplace with the fuel gauge.

Why? Is it important? Do you ever keep it burning for any meaningful amount of time?

Jorb doesnt realize this when designing stuff. He says that cows eat just fine amount because he can have 2 of them. But what about medium/big villages that need like dozen cows and have only 1-2 farmers. Its hell of a job for them

Relighting when it goes out mid crafting is no fun.

the problem with the cow issuse is...you need more farmers :lol:
i think this issue will solve itself as people start discovering it would be more ideal to live in large towns.

To both, yes.

When I mess with a crucible to mass-produce any item, I have to bulk it with coal.

My problem isn't so much it's fuel indicator, but that the fuel lasts a ridiculously short period of time.
