As a newb hermit, I find it not boring at all to melt iron bars into wrought iron. The iron bars are the boring one that you turn it on and not do anything. All the "help" suggests a hermit to only do one wrought at a time due to the way the mechanic is setup; however, with some not-hard-at-all analysis, a hermit can easily make as many wrought bars at a time as they can carry coal. And due to the mechanic it makes it Extremely Adrenaline Pumping Exciting(<--highly exaggerated) as it requires constant input and output from you in a few different ways. Currently I do 6 at a time.

Wrapping up, I find wrought iron to be highly low energy in comparison to smelting iron bars while requiring more energy in a smaller span of time= more exciting.

I actually thought this was one of the more engaging mechanics that we introduced.

Personally for myself and village members it was fun the first time we tried it, and enjoyed crafting our first 100 wrought.

After that everyone in our village saw it as a tedious task, and when we needed to do a run of 100-200 wrought you would find everyone needed to go offline for some reason or other.

It is a nice little mini-game task, and we saw it as a nice village get together, but it really was very tedious to do and seemed like something was missing / not rewarding enough for the effort / time put in.

The mechanic is very engaging but there needs to be something to make it less boring.

Announcing that you had a massive batch of iron ready for the hammer is met with groans. I don't make wrought unless there are 4+ sheds full.

Personally first attempts and realizations wrought - so mechanics is interesting
However! more times pretty boring - I'm talking about a situation where 4 people are - 3 forges, one guarding the oven

mechanics is onerous precisely because of the need to be constantly active ...

Maybe let's do that during farmesrtwa (fields) need to be continuously active for 2 days? It's pointless

Where to personally collect 1000+ cottons and then clean them and then the processed material, if I had to be on all the time in the game and see what the character is doing (~ 15min) that I fell asleep again.


with the majority of my friends talked who sell wrought and i ask about production wr. - everyone agree with production wroughtów is boring
I do not mean the mere fact of mechanics is broing, but only by the production is boring

I kind of like how it works now that I have a stockbin for coal.

Edit: I'm a hermit.
