Certainly, just the way you phrased it made it sound like you had lost commissions which is easy to do if you don't ritually bumrush the place pre-board. I think they added it relatively late in development or it snuck past me because I don't think I had one until Act 2 haha.

They hosed up by writing the rival workshop as a friendly and healthy competition. Just give me Higgins to direct my rage and spite at.

Yeah, Yan is a good little sniveling target for ire, but beating him is too easy and he too obviously cheats since you never ever actually see him build anything. Granted I'm not seeing the others work either, but they also aren't across the street where I can see them not working all day, so the illusion works better for them.

Mi-An is very visibly active. It's surprising her workshop rating isn't higher. She does a bunch of co-op quest with you. A ton of her and Elsie's friendship events are about how much she works. She is constantly running around the desert gathering materials. Sometimes she even beats me to scrap gathering before I can get there. I guess the one thing I don't ever see her do is go mine in the dungeon, which could explain why she has a low workshop rating - she's resource starved.

If you marry Catori does her kid also move in with you? Do female characters get visibly pregnant?

It's surprising her workshop rating isn't higher. She also does a lot of additional work for free or at a discounted rate - like when Grace fucks up Owen's kitchen and she repairs it overnight without charging the fees Yan demands, or when she fixes the Paradise Lost entrance gate apparently just because it was there and it was bugging her. But a lot of the workshop rating numbers don't make a ton of sense... and the reasons for that start getting apparent not long after Act Two ends.

Incidentally, IMHO it's not really worth stressing about which perk builds will max your efficiency or which research trees to pursue; the game's paced well enough that you don't need to worry about that stuff very much, so only worry about optimization if that's your jam. If it's not, don't let all the talk of optimization scare you away from taking your time and playing your way. The "treasure chests show up on the map" perk, for instance; is it super useful? No, not really; there generally aren't enough chests around to make it "worth" a perk point, especially in early game. I get it every time anyways; I'm not good at spotting chests organically, personally, and having them pop up on my minimap when I'm in the vicinity is handy, and besides, taking apart the wooden chests is a good way to stock up on wooden boards and hardwood planks before my wood income really gets rolling. Is that efficient? Oh gently caress no - but it suits me. Basically, don't sweat the small stuff. You can optimize and go for the big score numbers, but you don't need to, and it's important to remember that for a game like this one IMHO

The chill honestly starts to lean more into tedium for me. Running through samey environments dropkicking rocks for six seconds a piece starts to get grating pretty fast.

I do think it would not be necessarily a bad thing if they were to cut material requirements by like 25% across the board, Even just cutting ore requirements for bars would go a long way

So a couple things to note: 1. If you have the DLC, get your pet ASAP - you can send it out to get materials for you daily, which is nice. 2. When ordering food, you can get more than one thing from each category. Stacking up a bunch of expensive stuff can give you a ton of stamina back, and even stacking up a bunch of cheap stuff can get you a decent amount without breaking the bank. You can eat twice a day, and it's very much worth refilling your stamina that way if you have the time to go around and gather.

You eventually unlock the ability to order scrap and later raw ore directly, that cuts down the tedium of mining quite a lot.

Can buy scrap and discs from the shop right next to the field from the start of the game as well. The discs especially are good to make sure something is always researching.

Anyone know what the breakpoints are for donating food for the dance off are? Or even if the game cares at all about donating more than one "food"? On a related note, I Fixed the moisture farm on the same day that the dance off was announced. So I fixed the machine and Zeke thanked me, then they had a big town fireside meeting where they talked about how to live without the moisture farm. So that was funny.

I have no idea - I just went over to the bar and bought a bunch of rice and flour, then went to the general store and bought sandberries. I think I donated 20, 20, and then 12 to max it out on the first day. Also had the same thing happen with the moisture farm. It was hilarious to have everyone freaking out while the farm was out of commission for like a day.

I started trying this game yesterday. A bit overwhelming, though this is likely because I have literally zero experience playing this genre of games (like Stardew or any sort of farming or Animal Crossing-like game). I feel like item management is definitely going to be A Thing, since I quickly filled my inventory with random poo poo just from walking around hitting random stuff with my axe and pickaxe. I think I saw someone else mention making a bunch of boxes to use for storage, so that definitely sounds like it'll help a bunch. Can you use stuff in storage when crafting, or do you need to manually withdraw it first? Using the Chinese voices has been very novel. While I'm enjoying them and plan on keeping them on, I will never again condescend to people for not using the Japanese dub in games, even in games where I think it's much better. Having no idea what the characters are saying without reading the subtitles does add more of a mental "burden," while with Japanese stuff the subtitles were always just filling in the gaps in what I understood, so I didn't need to fully pay attention to them.

You also have to have an item on you to sell it at a shop and gift it. You can craft, complete commissions, do requests, and operate machines just fine with everything else in chests. All chests are also linked to each other and can be cycled through from any one chest.

This also means placement of chests isn't super important. They joke about organizing your stuff but honestly it's not really necessary. There's a button also that will dump all items from inventory to storage if storage already has at least one of those items.

I still organize my stuff because I like chests in games being neat and tidy because my actual life is a trashfire, but yeah you could also just totally dump everything into piles in a closet and have one chest outside to access if you wanted.

Physical location of the chest doesn't matter (you can keep most of them outdoors or inside the house in a far-off room!) but unless you want to go insane if you ever need to pull something specific out, I'd suggest setting up different chests for different categories of stuff. (You can rename them, which helps a lot.) Right now I've got chests for Artifact Stuff 1-3, Animal Bits, Cooking Ingredients, Books, Metal, Wood, Stone, Gems, Produce, Plants, Dishes, Clothes 1-3, Gizmos, Grinder Parts, etc.
