Testing 179 - Report issues here

@Spoygg

Happened only once to me, and I have opened crafting table probably 50 times.

@Lawrey

I think it happened at least thrice to me but I can just press V to return to normal view on them.

It sounds like there’s a low chance of it occurring, so we’ll make a record of this.

@Kirinvar

The “make items with a machine” Feats under Advanced Crafter Feats count the crafting table as a machine.

Not sure if that is intentional.

As you can see, i have not used any machine yet.

The Crafting Table is a type of machine, so it will count towards the feat.

@Karokendo

Crafting timber in workbench does not grant exp!

Can’t reproduce this. Tested this by crafting a Door Piece, Trampoline and Trapdoor piece (all of which required Timber) using the Workbench and I received XP as expected. What item(s) were you crafting with the Workbench at the time?

@ctrl-64

Since the rebalance it seems a few of the objectives are triggering a little bit late. For example:

the “first skill” achievement triggered after I had unlocked the first 2 already. Also it was telling me to spend some skill points when I had none left. (not sure if that’s intended) All it took was chopping a few more pieces of wood and that got me to the next level and I was able to spend…10 points at level six!! thank you!!

another example:

current objective is “building a permanent base” and the instruction text bubble on the left introduces the compass and says to unlock it… I have unlocked 5 skills already, the compass was only the 2nd.

Were you doing anything outside of the objectives (as in did you briefly go off to other things away from the objectives)? Due to the increase in XP, it could be possible that you’re getting more XP by the time the objectives become available.

The “Star Explorer” Feats don’t count unique planets but just inter-planet portals.
I just got the 10000 xp Feat with a new character by walking through the same portal 10 times.

I think he means crafting trunks into timber, not timber into items.

[Kirinvar]

Hot Pot Crafting “Items made with a Furnace” does not work. (Unless glue, copper and iron bars do not count.)

Also Recipe Catalogue “Unique Recipes Crafted” does not work. (Unless its restricted to special recipes?)

Both are under Basic Crafter Feats.

[ctrl-64]

Oh that might be it. I did chop a lot more wood than i needed for the objective, it’s probably working as intended then. I will test it again with a new alt and only and exactly as instructed.

Thanks for the report, a bug has been logged. Also, you probably meant to say Star Trailblazer, as that’s the feat that awards 10,000XP. The Star Explorer feat only awards 200XP.

@Havok40k

It’s not possible to use a Workbench for crafting Trunks into Timber, unless @Karokendo meant to say Crafting Table. Is that the case?

Thanks for the report. We have logged bugs for both of these.

Thanks for confirming this. Some balancing is still required. Ideally, players should be free to gather XP at any time alongside completing objectives.

Tagging @luke-turbulenz so he can see this.

No problem, and yep I just confirmed with a new character the timing for everything works out normally if I do exactly as it says on screen.
Somehow I missed when it said to unlock the compass, I was expecting it to be a completable objective but it was just in a tooltip window, so I got to the end of the guided objectives with 15 skill points available

[Karokendo]

@vdragon oh yes, I had crafting table in mind.
Crafting trunks into timber gives no exp and is instant
where crafting rocks into stones takes time and grant exp

[vdragon]

Thanks for the clarification. To address your previous reply, XP is only awarded for items with a crafting time, so any items that can be crafted instantly will not count.
