Clay Forming - Copy Recipe.

[sjbest123]

It feels logical that you should be able to copy repeat recipes. If i'm making multiple copies of a clayforming recipe, i.e. shingles, it would make sense to be able to copy layer across multiple versions.

 

If this seems to be too much of a simplification, perhaps include a skill level or recipe mastery level which has a percentage error level depending on how many times you have completed the recipe.

 

These could be toggleable options to enable an easier gameplay that doesn't involve using cheats or creative mode.

Welcome to the forums, @sjbest123!

I must not be understanding. Why can't you do that? I usually do it. Set one hotbar spot to 1x1, another 2x2, another 3x3 and the rest to copy. Then I place 4 storage vessels and go from one to the next without  changing tools until I get the last of the 4 done with the current tool.

Or are you asking for something more like Knapster, that lets you automagically place clay in the right spots, or, now, complete the whole thing instantly?

@Thorfinnsorry what!? I didn't know you could do that!? There isn't a clear explanation for this stuff so I didn't even realise that was an option. I have spent HOURS swapping between 3x3 to fill and single block to delete before copying the few levels I can.  

Does this work if I make a storage vessel, make something else, then do another storage vessel though?

Sure. Copy just copies the layer below whatever you are currently working on.

[EDIT]

Incidentally, play around with the 3x3. You would be amazed how efficiently that can fill most pottery. Bowls, for example, are fill the whole 5x5 area of the second layer, then remove the 3x3 from the center of the bowl. You never use anything but the 3x3. Ingot molds are just elongated bowls.
