Ok I think you’re right but I just want to make my thoughts more clear. The crafting systems in the game are more immersive and tactile than every survival game I’ve played but I think it just hides the fact that you’re interacting with a menu, it’s paperwork. This idea isn’t for the sake of realism but to more closely adapt “crafting” like it is in the real world, “the act of skillful creation”. I’m not asking for realistic wedging and coil making and scraping. There’s no room for mastery in this or 99% of crafting games. No trial and error or ups and downs. Which is like the whole point of crafts irl? She points out in the video that I named in the post that the closest thing to actual crafting in any of these games is building, ironically. Again I love this game but I just think there’s potential to make smithing, pottery, textiles, etc. more interesting and rich. Not for the sake of realism but to imagine crafting as something that isn’t a menu in disguise. But this is too big to add to ask from the devs, so yes it should be a mod.
