Centraforge balance feedback

[Jyanin]

This was my comment from the Release 195 thread

@Jyanin

I’ve just used the centraforge for the first time.

Two things came to hand as first time user, even at lvl 50.

I needed two skills (again) to use it. One to make the machine, another to make the basic ingredients. I really feel the basic ‘make the engine’ skill should include the basic items to even USE it.

Secondly. Using this at the lowest level of items and ingredients, which is what I’m trying, as would any freshling to the centraforge whilst levelling, feels pretty bad. The chances of boons seems abysmally low.

Perhaps (and I realise this is probably way too late), lower level shouldn’t be more rubbish chances of getting boons, instead it should limit the max of a boon, maybe only 1 level per boon can be done, and it should always produce quirk ‘energy’/chances.

Just my thoughts. I know on 1.0 I won’t bother using it as it stands, until I’ve maxed out the ingredients ability and other skills required, so as not to waste time on getting total trash/nothing at all.
