With the new Update (0.0.9q), I noticed a few issues. Now I don't know if it is intended but, I notice I can sell tin or better items over copper. With the new "Alloy" system I thought this would be a "inbetween" tier of quality for frogded metals. Well, I made a sword and a greatsword (bronze), but to my dismay, I could not sell them to the customer. (only copper.) Now, I Figure in the future that all customers will have radom but specific wants and needs for goods Like copper swaords). Perhaps a few willing to pay extra for a better than "minimal" quality request, but I am getting off topic. So I have a stack of Bronze ignots with no idea how to profit off them. What role does "alloys" play in this build? Also, there is a glitch with sheild customers not leaving after paying for their last good. Now I can work around by saving the game, go back to main menu and reload the game. (but that cutomer kinda "ends" the day in the game.) I don't know if it's a glitch, but I can't sell pre-built weapons etiher. (they have to be made in view?) Besides all that, good job on adding new content, even if a new  can of worms comes with it. But hey, thats alpha games in a nutshell. New features, new problems. 

-Thank you for the help, great game.  Sincerely, Scott.

In order to sell items - You need to have a hammer.

What you start with is copper hammer - you sell only copper.

If you make a tin hammer - you sell tin and copper.

If you make a Titanium hammer - you sell any metal in the game.

There's a bit of a "WIP" here though - Due to Alloys being so new.

Brass (Haven't found zinc, but Brass ingots can be obtained for a certain place on the map)

Bronze

And Steel

All will unlock selling more advanced metals than what you currently have.

They will /at least/ ask upwards of Mithril - but it's possible that all 3 alloys will have customers ask all the way up to titanium - The alloy hammers seem to be registered "Above all other metals"

The Alloy picks work seemingly as intended - Brass Pick will only mine up to a certain level - Bronze up to Adelite I believe, maybe only Iron - Steel will mine up to Mithril

Customers that request Alloys (don't exist) - except they technically do - When You have an Alloy Hammer, you'll occassionally have a customer come in asking for "Blank" tool/weapon - No specific Metal is given.

They're actually Asking for Brass, Bronze, Or Steel, At least, they seem to be.

Depending on what they're asking for, You may be able to sell them anything under the sun.

If they're asking for Steel (Seemingly) they'll accept Anything.

If they're Asking for Bronze (Seemingly) they won't accept titanium but eventually they will accept /something/ you can give them, and above Copper.

Brass has the worst options - Seemingly being restricted to Tin or Copper only.


If the Customer asks for "Blank" Tool  "Specific Grip/Tool head" - Send them away.

They will only give you exp and be worthless to you. - They will only accept whatever they are asking for, which you cannot hope to fulfill, and even if you managed to fill the order - Alloys are So new, They have no value registered, So they sell for nothing.

It's possible that there's a bit of mixed signals here - and that the "Blanks" are what is supposed to be the "alloys" and the "Alloys" are "separate" thus if you ACTUALLY sold a "Blank" - you'd "actually" sell that specific alloy and actually make a profit - but because "Alloy" somehow is separate and has no price - you sell "Blank" instead..... if that made sense...


Anywho.

Customers will buy what is in their price range - Unless - They specify extensions. - in which case they will /only/ accept what they asked for.

Example

A Customer asks for a Mithril Greathammer.

You can give him an Iron Greathammer, No problem.

You cannot give him an Adamantine or Titanium Greathammer - As these are more expensive.

If a Customer asks for a Mithril Greathammer with a common grip and a large hammer head

You must give him a Mithril Greathammer - The grip/head I believe is negotiable, with the loss of a specificity bonus (10%) - but it /must/ be Mithril.

If you only have an Iron Hammer equipped - They will only buy Iron, Tin, Or copper, Never will they ask for something "More expensive" than your hammer - which is what makes Alloys "Oddities"
