About forging, I would also question the need to craft Setting Resin, since it’s required to forge. Why not make that a function of the Centraforge, and free one spot in the Forge-Deck? Same with Deconstruction Resin 3. Just put these two as buttons in the Forging UI.
To me, Forging also became the way for devs to say “ok, here’s a new feature, we don’t have time/money to make it into a new tool, so it’s gonna be a new Chisel/Spanner boon”, and that should not keep being a thing in the future, or at least not in the state it is. I already made a thread specifically about that :
