Good clay

[Gallient]

so seems like good water is the key to everything, unfortunately well purity doesn't work yet so everyone quit the game for now.

If this is your attitude then you should wait for the production release. See the Global Information Well for details on the term "Beta".

The best way to get rid of a clay through is to destroy it But seriously, you could just move it off to the side and use up the milk of lime when you need bricks or urns.

Its called humor, I already have my monster characters so I love this update.

It seems to me that the water purity has a lot more weight in milk of lime. The lime itself is only complimentary.

I did some testing and concluded that in Milk of Lime, the Water outweighs the Lime's contribution 100:1.

You can use literally any lime you like and it will have NO EFFECT on the resulting material.

Your suspicion that High-Purity Water is the key to everything is, I believe, correct.

Crafted 5% clay from 5% milk. So i guess clay through has no influence.
But my pots from 5% clay and matched 2-3% granite/lime is only 2%.
So the water is not everithing. I did not even see no lime nor granite with purity > 3%.

Ok, so there is a 1:1 correspondence between the Milk of Lime used in a trough and the purity of the clay produced? Good to know.

Also remember that "Purity%" is a relatively meaningless number. Due to the way purity combination works, it is the Elements that matter.

Since making Gardening Pots is a crafting recipe, each material used (clay, granite, lime) will contribute equally and then their elements will be averaged together. Large drops in "purity%" are seen when combining things because the % is based on the square of the elements. Anything that makes them more evenly distributed greatly impacts the stated purity%.

Purity% is a description of the end result of a crafting process, but gives you no information on the manner in which things are combined.

Yea, sometimes I forget about the "feature complete" bit
