Natron, Varnish and similar recipes

Can we please double this recipe output already?
It's needed in an increasing number of recipes yet since 2.0 you can still only craft 1 at a time.

Ain't nobody got no time for that!


edit: Or the ability to craft multiple items at once.

Yeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssss

I would even accept a new synth that took 10x the number of ingredients to produce 10x the result.

Being able to craft multiple things at a time would be neat.

I mean, the "Quick Synth" button is basically irrelevant given that it's not particularly likely to HQ anything (Nor is it particularly "Quick" for churning out a lot of NQ stuff) but has a basis for allowing multi-crafting.

Which would also mean that they wouldn't need to go back and revise output numbers on particular items as often, because people would be able to just gather more materials and craft batches irregardless, with output numbers merely serving to reduce material costs rather than also affecting time to produce large quantities.

I personally don't know how I feel about this. I agree it would help tremendously, but for someone with OCD, like myself, it can be a bit of a nightmare. Sometimes you have recipes whose mats yield is 2 or 3, but the value of each individual mat is different, this one yields 3, this one 4, etc. It has to be even, and line up, T.T

Why else would I make 16 mini orchestrations, to sell?

Its weird that they double some of the end game crafts, but left the previous crafts alone..
Like, they doubled the yield of Nightsteel Ingots.. but left Chromite Ingots to 1.

those things are so cheap and simple i think quick-synth is enough

You can just gather up the materials and quick synth a whole bunch in a row. For low level things like this it doesn't really matter if you end up with NQ items, especially varnish or other things you are only going to use for housing items anyway.

(but I do actually think it would be convenient if they yielded more items per craft)

While I agree with the convenience factor, yeah, HQ doesn't really matter all that much when the item is so low level. HQ provides such a small boost to the overall progress that any halfway decent crafter should have no trouble compensating for.

That said, I'd still be in favor of boosting a lot of mid-craft materials. My experience with Cotton in particular nearly put me off crafting entirely. Everything in that level range needs cotton in some form, and I still hadn't quite worked out a decent rotation for anything.

They are very low level recipes and used in bulk in top level recipes. It takes 3 natron for each steppe serge, and every single woodworking recipe requires varnish.

Alternate solution: allow quick synth up to 999, and stop on gear breaks.

Those of us that would like a change on this front, would argue that QUICK synth, is not quick enough. Have you ever done 99 quick synths? It's not fast.

To make the new sub pieces this patch requires about 1,000 synths, just for one set of 4 pieces. That's about 50 minutes of quick synth.

50 minutes for 1000 quick synths? Tell me your secrets! It takes my character 15 minutes to quick synth 99 items give or take a minute (cause I don't remember exact number, but around 15 minutes for sure).

You can test how long it takes to quick synth by going to a low level material vendor and buying enough materials for 99 iron ingots (less than 2k) and then quick synth 99 iron ingots and time it.

I was thinking it was 3 seconds per synth, but it might be 6 seconds. 10 minutes for a stack of 99 sounds closer now that I think about it, so 100 minutes of quick synth for one set of Syldra parts.
