What am I missing about this thing? In the lower-right corner of the icon, it shows a (2).
For every other item in the game, that means when you craft this item, you get TWO of it.
Yet when you craft the Shovel, you only get one.
I submitted a bug report about this at launch-- cause it’s been like this since beta.
Six weeks later, and it’s still like this. Is there some talent or proff spec I’m supposed to train to get this to actually do what it says??
Or just another bug/broken thing in DF?
Cooking has the same issues. Recipes say they make 4, and you get one. IDK if it’s a bug, or just not well explained in game, since the cooking recipes say “yield depends on cooking skill” or some such verbiage. I can’t remember what, if anything, is noted on the Expedition Shovel. Definitely annoying, whatever the case.
For even more fun, you can get friends to put in work orders for the shovels and it will say you crafted them 2, but they will still only get 1.
Cooking at least shows it depends on skill. The shovel does not shows that, so we would expect it to craft 2 every time.
I think the problem/bug here is that, different from most ‘multicrafted’ recipes, the item we’re crafting on this case does not stack… so it must be breaking something.
I wrote this thread back around launch, and just assumed it was a skill issue.
I’m max now. Can 5* most anything.
And I still don’t make 2 Shovels like it says I’m supposed to.
I’d be more annoyed by this if I wasn’t using Shovels to fulfill my weekly crafting order stuff. So if it actually made 2 per craft, I’d be drowning in these things.
But the fact is: it’s still bugged.
Try putting this in the bug reports section of the forums.
Oh I have. I always submit bug reports.
