Workshops - getting 4 people in there to progress a tier is getting tedious

[Jeykama]

Why. There's no argument you can make regarding the wheels that you can't make with any of the other workshop items, and visa versa.

The tables, eh, but the wheels really should be taken out of the group crafting system since unlike everything else in the workshop list, they are consumables (and the G1 wheels don't require workshop, so...). And because of the workshop system, 1 wheel still take a million clicks to craft, ugh.

The wheels have saved my small FC a ton of points, but goddamn is it a huge pain to click 60+ times for each wheel on top of needing a group for an item that only lasts a day. Please, either unhitch them from the workshop like the G1 wheels, or streamline the whole turn-in process. Both would be amazing. Right now the interface is as dumb as my FC house doors defaulting to NO I DON'T WANT TO ENTER when I want to go inside quickly.

Greetings,

Thanks for all the feedback!

As we've been receiving lots of comments in regards to the number of players that are required for company crafting, the dev. team is currently considering making adjustments to where some of these company crafted items can be handled on your own.

It's been 4 months since the Dev reply from Zhexos about them considering adjustments and still nothing? When can we expect these changes?

More importantly, what is the result of their consideration?

Patch 3.3 has come and gone, but there are still no changes to workshops! Did the dev team decide not to make any changes?

Please SE, this very system is targetted at Low pop FCs. The fact that we need a light party to even craft these FC buffs is rediculous. At the very least, unlock the Tier II buffs from requiring a party to complete. Tier III buffs are very powerful and since the newest Aetherial Wheel Stand 6 cant even charge more than 1 of these at a time, i would understand if they would require a light party to craft.

There is no reason the Tier II buffs should be gated by this party requirement.

Your hindering low population FC's when this very system was created to help them.

I want to bump this again so that maybe it will show up in patch 3.4, because it seems like they've forgot about it! :c

[PROBOUND]

I really hope they haven't forgot about this. Let's hope its slated to drop in 3.4 because this limitation is really hindering the aetherial wheel system.

I think requiring 4 people for housing and airship crafting is fine, the wheels could be done by a single person though in my opinion. As much as there is a slight hassle in finding people to help you craft in the workshop, I found it is a good social thing and have made few friends from it.

I agree, 4 people isn't a huge amount for an FC. And even very small FCs can easily meet the requirements (The 3 other people don't have to be from the FC IIRC, and their craft can be lvl 1 so even a non crafter can go unlock the craft in 5 mins). In fact I approve of requiring 4 people, as it promotes (forces?) other FC members to participate in the content and means that people are working together, rather than the "airship guy" building them on his own.

I don't know much about wheels etc. though so I can't comment.

Edit: slightly offtopic but would help this. What I do want is a direct teleport to the workshop, as someone with slow load times, entering the housing district, then entering the house, then entering the workshop takes far longer than necessary.

It only forces 3 other people to be on a crafting job, in your party, and in the workshop with you. They should add some real FC content to promote more people being involved.
