Meant ground leveling. Sorry for confusion.

Also are we supposed to be able to shift click a bloom into our inventory with out tongs?



yes it is, and yes you are. This is the first of hopefully a few mechanics that encourages 'group play' in a specific industry. The idea was to make it 'possible' for hermits but very very appealing to have 1-3 partners helping in the process.

As for the bloom. The idea is you need the tongs to hold it in your hand and hold it steady on the trip hammer. It was intended that 'helpers' could cart the blooms from teh forge to a box near the trip hammer etc. etc. without wearing on tongs.

Imagine you leave your char gathering something... branches, coal, woodblocks, chippin stones... while you mind other buisness for a minute or two.
- As it used to be, the char would have a full inventory of the stuff you wanted, ready to use with 2 clicks for most of those things.
- AS it is now, the char would be filled to the top, unable to move, forcing you to drop some of the stuff manually before you can even move on.
- AND the backpack is not used by default.


Stop complaining. This is a blessing.

I think that the system easily make up for it by letting you carry several bear/trees/large boulders/what ever you want around in your inventory.

The encumberance system is a bit of a beast on a 'few' activities. Such as trying to carry around several braziers worth of ingots, or a full dry board pile of boards (etc. etc.) But for the vast majority of tasks I found myself having WAY more fun with the inventory, especially when it came to the fact that I can make large quantities of ingredient heavy recipes. Typically I would find it acceptable to go 50% overweight if I knew I was going to combine those raw materials in the very near future.

Don't forget, Mighty Muscles also does wonders for a temp-boost.
