fixing the orchestrion, crafting benches and balconies

The orchestrion is cool because it changes the default music of the house, but it does a terrible job of it. it has that annoying affect where the sound is coming from the thing it self which sounds bad when your either not near it or turned away from it. if you're fortunate to own a large house it sounds even worse when you're far away from it. what we (only speak for my FC) want is settings option for the music to played from the orchestrion or from the game.

Crafting benches do nothing after level 50, and its not that hard to get to level 50 anymore. when we craft we take out a little portable work station to craft anywhere but it would be nice if we can take our tools that we already own and use the full size workbenches that we have in our house.

the large houses have a balcony and a door that leads to the balcony, the door doesn't work. it would be nice if the door that's in our house, that we bought, would lead us to our balcony on our house.

Yes, please fix the Orchestion sound so we have the option of good quality sound. It's very quiet, too. Any chance of us being able to set it to the same volume as the default BGM?

Yes, it would be nice to have some use for the benches after lvl 50.

And yes, access to the balcony would be a cool thing for those lucky enough to own a mansion.

I've heard that the orchestration issue is bothering a lot of people too, I understand that maybe it's a good thing to have it the way it's set up for maybe RP players who want it a little more realistic, but I wish that there was a setting like Solarra mentioned above me, about being able to set the orchestration to the same volume as the BGM.
In my FC house, I've been trying to find a way to fix it by changing it's position but nothing seems to help. I'll have it on the base floor right in the middle, and when you go upstairs or downstairs it does get very quiet. It messes up the whole aesthetic that I was trying to reach for the FC house's decorations and it makes me kind of sad.
The Orchestration replaces the default music in the house which is at the normal BGM level, I feel like the orchestration should at least be at that level and, I guess, sound consistency throughout the whole house just as the default music--that it's replacing--was.

This is an easy fix that pelases everyone:

[ ] 3D Effect

Toggle box. Add it to the Orchestrion UI.

Would love a crafting station upgrade considering how costly they were/are & how mundane they become once you out level their usage. Is +5 control really that game breaking? :(

I agree, but please add it to the audio configuration options for the game, not the Orchestron itself (otherwise people who don't have FC access to it won't be able to update it!)

This definitely needs a fix, yes please SE.

It is so unrealistic to have the volume almost disappear upon turning around. I don't understand how issues like this like this get the "OK" to implement :rolleyes:

I definitely agree about the Orchestrion and the balcony, but for the crafting tables, I kind of like that they're essentially useless, since it means can save a lot of item slots in our FC house.

If the crafting tables did work to 60, we'd have to spend 8 precious item slots on them, and quite a lot of floor space to boot. If they did decide to make a crafting buff available all the way to max level, it would be cool if it could be some kind of super item that gives the buff for all crafts. They could even make it be made from all of the other benches (though they would have to at least remove the destroy-on-pickup element from the existing items).

Would be great if you could work at the benches :(

We have a room in our house with 6 workstations. Since we have a certain amount of turnover, I can't see the time coming when they aren't going to be useful to someone. It would be really nice to get an additional buff but failing that I'd like being able to work at them.

I always figured a durability bonus, similar to the housing foods, would make more sense... It has no real impact on crafting ability, which removes all concerns over balance... Wouldn't want people complaining that Free Companies with a House not only get the grade 3 Control FC Action, but also any bonus from the furniture... A durability bonus is fairly inconsequential, but certainly something I'd use plenty... Over time it would be a nice Gil saver, which I'd say is fine given the price for obtaining them...

Edit: Totally misread that post! Sorry.

I would like to be able to work at the crafting benches AND the animations on the benches to be shorter than not using one. idk if shorter animations will somehow break the game but I'm sure someone will tell me why

Just adding that while I understand it's more realistic for the sound to come from the Orchestrion, I wish it just replaced the housing music as a whole so that the sound quality would be good all the time no matter where I am in a house.
