I was doing a test with my tables and with less than half of the rocks I have waiting to be turned into stones set off 250 tables worth. As a builder I like to keep a large stock of stones ready for bricks, refined and deco blocks and where possible I keep all of the rocks I pick up.

I worked out the numbers from the tables I set off as 8000 clicks along with an achey wrist and fingers. I tend to do this in large batches to get it out of the way in one hit rather than multiple batches of aches on a regular basis. With a craft all option this would cut the repetitive movement down to only 750 clicks.

This would help out new and old players alike.For the older players who are constantly crafting items filling machines to the brim, and the newer players just starting to build their first proper structure that isn’t a box crafting the materials to do so.

Is this something that might be in the pipeline already or something that could easily be added to aid players?

So basically a button that would fill the queue up fully with that craft recipe and mass or craft type? 1 click for the 30 versus 30 clicks?

yes, instead of 32 clicks recipe, mass craft, 30 crafts would just be recipe, mass craft, craft all. Possibly a staggered option of x5/x10 also.

It would be a qol improvement when converting rock to stone. As a workaround on the PC you can make an autohotkey script to do the same thing.

this would be amazing.

crafts 30 with one click, I would like to see this happen as well:
if there is not enough of one item to do 30 crafts, it just makes as many as possible.
if you want to omit certain colours then you should probably put those in a different machine as any processable block is going to be processed in the usual order (machine input > machine output > player inventory)
craft all button would still be clickable for other recipes, only being greyed out if not enough materials to do a single craft

wouldn’t just be a QoL within the game but having things like carpal tunnel and RSI common enough in gamers and all the preaching you hear about the way you sit when you’re playing. would be a conscious thought on the health of the player as well as the benefits we’d receive in game. Some days I may spend upwards of 12hrs on BL building and click enough with chisel work, the ease of quickly stocking machines to make my blocks would go a long way.

IF on PC, I use an auto clicker by murgee (dot) com

Not my product, but i did try 3 before this one. This one works best for me.

I set to use F4, So you click Mass, put mouse over craft, and hit F4. The settings below works to 30.
(If you make less then 35 clicks, itll sometimes only que 27-29)

+1 I’ve been a little jealous of pc for mostly this reason. When I’m smashing my controller button endlessly I sometimes wonder if the poor thing can take it. :hushed:

11

I swear sometimes when i do mass machine load ups for stones I hear my poor mouse squeak in complaint against the clicking.

Are there recipes other than rock->stone that ppl want this for?

Doing the math on OP’s rock stores tells me they have over 20 levels of xp stockpiled (over 6000 cubits). If this is acceptable xp for the mining of a quarter million rock (300 SS) then why not award the xp right away during mining instead of making Boundless a clicker game?

I max craft essence, sometimes wood and during the free weekend I max crafted a lot of low level tools and weapons to give away as well.

When preparing for a build I could be max crafting whatever it is on using to build with, so there are some other applications, not a huge amount but enough to make it a worthwhile endeavour.

Character I crafted on is a dedicated builder, beyond the xp for ground clearing and placing/chiselling blocks she gains side xp from stone crafting alone, currently around L56 in a couple of weeks.

personally would think the craft all button would be an option that could be available on all machines, still having the current craft button, but half the size with a craft all button next to it. Different people craft different things in different quantities of crafts, to have this as a generic option across all machines would be beneficial to all not just those who would do the common button spam crafts.

Before doing this please fix the surface resource gathering xp curve. Right now without crafting my stealth build that has collected thousands of beans on low and high tier planets, thousands of inky leaves, thousands of opal, a thousand shimmering orbs etc etc would barely be level 20 without any other xp source, while my less used alts are getting close to 50, some already reached that.

I support a craft all button!

I use a macro now. It isn’t just for crafting rocks (though I am sure it will be great for that). I know I am constantly crafting 10+ of a recipe and I just want to craft all that I am carrying to get through it quickly and get to the next machine. I use my macro for that now all the time.

I often grab exact ingredient numbers from my shelves before going to craft so a max craft button would be in constant use with me.
