Crp don't make any sense

LoL this is a hilarious topic

Was just looking at the lumber recipes in Crp and realized it takes 4 "logs" to make 1 lumber. Now I know something about Crp in real life and pretty sure 1 log can make at least 2 lumber (depending on size of log). SE please fix these wrong quantities.

I once watched something on tv... i think it was a documentary. Bugs Bunny might have been the host. Anyway, they took a whole tree and whittled it down to a single toothpick. If it takes a whole tree to get one toothpick, then my carpenter must be really good to get an entire piece of lumber from only 4 trees.

There actually is a reason for this (amusing thread responses notwithstanding). In 1.0, one log made 4 lumber (or I think 3 planks, or some amount of wood chips). Across the board, components were made in much larger quantities than they are now. However, each craft also had many sub-crafts. When they revised the crafting system to remove the sub-crafts, they changed the component crafts to make less materials so the total number of crafts would be the same. That's how you got 1 log for 1 lumber in ARR.

Then in HW, they decided being able to gather materials in a reasonable amount of time was boring, and to arbitrarily triple all component requirements to make sure no one actually had fun crafting anymore. And thus you need 3 logs for one lumber. See? It makes perfect sense!
