And an opinion/suggestion for this:
Well I think this is close to it, but still not balanced, and the machines prestige value is just too high! I think you should make machines because you need them to craft, not because you want to get a lot more prestige.
If the machine prestige will remain the same high as now, we will see more from these:
And before you judge the guy, I already met him, and he is a nice guy. He just want to use up all the things he get, so he turned all the rocks into furnaces, but in the future there will be real exploiters, whose will do the same, but with the goal to get the most prestige the easiest way. Like you can turn 8 stones into 2 refined rocks for 10 prestige, or 10 into a stone fire pit for 30 prestige.
Well I could write down a very VERY long list about my balance suggestions, but I will write down only two:
- Machines should give far less prestige, at least 10 times less, or even 0, OR their prestige given by each from the same machine should drop significantly (for example for your first workbench you get that 120 prestige, but after the second, only 60, third only 30, etc)
- The normal natural blocks and props (soil/trunk/rock/leaves/sand/gravel/growth/mould/sponge/ice/glacier/grass), campfires, beacon controls and doors should give at least 1 prestige too
Oh and its already seen by others too:
