Crafting system has been ruined #66

Open Wuzzy2 opened 6 years ago

I opine in the current version of Pixture (e0865f77c15a8dc23293ee0c1c0b36f54905a150) the crafting system is completely ruined, it is very inconvenient to use, much less that the simple default crafting system of Minetest. I'd say it is so bad that it also completely ruins the game by sucking out the entire game flow. I have basically stopped playing because of this, that's how bad it is.

The reason is, you just need way more searching, clicks, thinking and scrolling to perform a craft. The more items you need to craft, the worse it gets.

Note I do like some approaches of this crafting system, but the practical execution of it is just terrible. If you don't believe me, just play your own game! And compare how long it takes in average to craft like 10 different items in Pixture compared with Minetest Game.

Here's a post in which I describe how I fixed it in Pixture Revival:

It's a fix, but it's not 100% satisfaction yet.
