At the way things are I may just go back to playing ARK or 7 days to die. Much more enjoyable then every update nerfing the hell out of everything like these “devs” are doing. Change the word in quotations to your prefered title 
Can I have your stuff?

Honestly, if PS4 players could get a refund, I’d probably take it in a heart beat. There are quite a lot more fun games I could be playing, instead of this grind fest.
The bricks already where a grind but this just sucks the life and the will to play out of me as somebody who has 496 hours into the game since universe wipe. Revert the change and give ash and mud different uses in a new item.
Piling more grind on something that already has a huge chain of grind should not be the way to go.

I would if my stuff wasn’t tied into the Ultima Hub 
Everyone come to High Ridge west of New Oortia. Buy my useless stuff. I’ll even put some fibrous leaves up for sale tonight. 
It feels like formost things there is a cap on how many you can get off one gather which i think is set at 2? I feel like at highter levels this should scale up to 4 this way as you level you don’t spend 3 hours farming mats for sackcloth every day.

Have you tried farming fibrous leaves lately? I got several hundred in less than half an hour because of the new increase in plant spawning.

I still feel like by level 50 farming basic resources should be a once a week chore though. It feels like so many things are a daily farm its hard to keep up.
Maybe im just a resource horder lol

I’m definitely a resource hoarder too so I know what you mean. But I have to say that making a fast gatherer alt was the best thing I ever did in this game, if only because its fun to run so fast.

I wanna test the new patch more, but some jack ass in a truck drove into something that is owned by my internet providers and our whole side of the city is without internet.
I have hotspot on my phone, but this game doesn’t run great on it. Rubberband for dayz.
I have to agree, bricks were already a grind to produce, now we have to grind two extra resources on top of that already? Nonsense. It wouldn’t be so bad if they reduced spark costs a bit so I don’t have to grind even more to get the coal to produce them, so rather than balance it out, it’s just more grind on grind.
If you wanted a use for mud and ash, why not create a new recipe line, like mud bricks or adobe or something?
I get Almost all the recipes. Just dont rly get why add so much to making just… bricks.

Just a little FYI, while the bricks recipe now requires a wider variety of materials, cooking brick mixtures now makes 4 bricks each, instead of 2, so after actually trying the new recipe I’m pretty much ok with it, since we now get a lot more bricks with no added need to compact stuff.

And this is exactly why imho all the flames are too fast going before we actually checked anything 
This invalidate every one argument about bricks too grindy now comparing to how it was.
Thats the biggest problem. Same as with P2W. Many many players speak about how bomb mining is nerfed, how stupid its to make bricks now etc… But if you test it yourself then its better than it was. Making bricks is much faster now. With fixed regeneration its super easy to gather shimmering orbs etc. As for mining i am still testing it. You can find Cave easy if you look for mobs on radar. Just need 3x3 hammer now

It is in fact less grindy since it requires less spark. 
It was 180 clay per 25 compacted clay, so you needed two mass crafts (360) to make one mass craft of brick mixture (50) that turned into 100 bricks. And you had some leftover compact clay.
So, 360 clay = two bricks
and 288 mud + ash = two extra bricks
So even in raw materials, it’s less grindy.

Then it must have been a good area for them, I’ve gone out twice today to get them but only managed about 40 of them and if go out for fibrous I come back with 100s…
I even tried the atlas thing on Besavrona, only a few spots light up… and when you’re in such an area you find other players than glowing lamella
I had that problem too until a few days ago, now I have a surplus of fibrous, quite a bit of sackcloths already crafted to go, make the foods bags per 50 and still craft every tool/weapon I want!
Turn on the lucky points in your stats and that Epic gatherer (? not entirely sure how it’s called it’s in the bottome epic set of skills) one, it will give you more drops per plant!
I get that that is a weird one too, the most absurd change tho is that you need Glowing Lamella for Gleam Lanterns!
