I wish you would expand the mine and is there any pvE? also where is the horse in 0.0.9?

Would be a great game to setup vr options. Just a thought.

Loving this game! So, suggestions...

Wondering through the woods I thought it would be good if there was animals, like wolves which gives a reason to equip a weapon. So, perhaps combat. 

Seasons would be interesting. Different weathers.

Hiring people to work for you could be fun, for example travelling far for unique materials, instead of yourself. Or running shops in other places. Perhaps taking on apprentices? Also, if there was combat, hiring bodyguards.

Making armour, however I have a feeling this is already planned (armour is on the scarecrow) 

Reasons for travelling. I loved exploring, but other than finding crystals and unfinished content there was not much I got out of it.  Perhaps unique metals or blueprints for weapons. 

Other blacksmiths! Compete with them, share information and products. Rivals or friend. Perhaps they wish to sabotage your business! 

Unique commissions from special NPC's where you must gather special materials, and have a long time to do it. Going on adventures to create the ultimate weapon, for a price of course! 

Bulk purchases! A large amount of weapons over a long period of time, but I could see this becoming a grind to complete...

Deeper mining! Explore deeper, perhaps even dungeons with pre-made ancient weapons, but dangerous to get! 

Better optimisation overall. My PC CAN handle the game, but not very well. 

More customisation of weaponry, perhaps special decorations make of jewels? 

Factions! Raise loyalty with factions and in turn you get extra customers, like working for a king supplying his army.

Fame! As your weapons are used by heroes successfully increase your fame! A marker of your progress other than money. Perhaps makes you more willing to increase the quality of products otherwise you get bad reputation.

Sorry for the long list, and thank you for the game! I have been loving it, and you have got me interested in a genre I seem of have neglected. Good luck for the future! 

How close is the next update to being finished?

Armor, Pets, Mounts, Customizable Blacksmith House Interior, A Shop That Sells Ingots, Character Customization, Optional 3rd Person POV,  Lantern Fuel, A Shop That Sells House Decorations, Rare-Epic-Legendary Handles and More Versions of 2 Handed Guards. 

Just some ideas that popped into my head :D

An apprentice or assistant would be cool. Someone to do some of the work, like for example: mining for ore on every cycle, of course you'd have to make the pick and he could only mine the appropriate ore with that pick; assembling items by handing him the appropriate parts (if you gave him a guard, two hand grip, and one hand mallet, naturally he wouldn't be able to make anything. Give him a polearm grip and a small blade however, he'd make the polearm), and perhaps after he finishes assembling the part, automatically taking it to the customer. Traveling blacksmiths or merchants that teach you new weapons (Egyptian Kopesh, Japanese Tanto or Dikatana, German Halberd or Zwiehander, Chinese Dao, etc... ) and alloys, such as Damascus steel or just carbon steel, nickle iron (meteoric iron), amalgams for gilding weapons and shields, or various other steel alloys, like cobalt steel.

For historical accuracy: Historically speaking, swords were the most common weapon for self defense. Axes, maces, and hammers were used predominately in war. Maces were used to crush and weaken plate armor.  Hammers, such as the maul, were also used to crush the enemy, but were often paired with spikes for uses against thinner armors. Axes were found among the high class rabble outside of war more commonly than hammers and maces, but not quite as common as the sword, as they were less versatile and it is often frowned upon for a nobleman to carry any weapon other than a sword. They were designed to cleave through enemies limbs, not for self defense per sey. The polearm form of the battle axes, such as the sparth axe, were primarily used in war due to how hard they were to wield. However, many places in the medieval time banned peasants from carrying weaponry. In this case, axes were more common, because they had a domestic function, axes were often not included in this ban. Axes are also cheaper to make than swords, and ultimately lighter. Battle axes were not included in this, as they were made for battle.

In short, axes and swords should be the most common weapon requested to be made, in that order because axes had a higher demand due to the domestic use. Then one hand hammers (for their domestic use), followed by the polearms, and the remaining two hand weapons as well as the other blunts (the flanged mace and morningstar). Shields would be requested as commonly as the polearms and they other war weapons. 

These last two paragraphs are, of course, only important if you wanted it to be more historically accurate. I see no reason as to make it this game accurate, and I'm not requesting it. I'm simply informing you in case you wanted it to be.

please add a way to transport stuff

Ayy i love the game, but what if yyou added random invasions where mobs would attack. Then the player would have to make swords for the warriors, or maybe even make the player able to kill enemies with a sword? anyways, love the work you're doing.

It could be an idea but not sure. what if at some point in the game the king orders something from the black smith and depending on how u make it (rarity of items) the king pays extra but not too much. for example: if he wants a sword u cn make it with any ingot and any rarity grip and handguard.

Another idea not sure if its mentioned but maybe make an option for co-op game so you can have a friend to help in the shop and allow players to work together.

Why my game dosent save?

I would like to suggest being able to build a bridge in the "secret crystal area" after completing it once of course, and i've been wondering if there are any plans for the closed door near the forest alter towards the river? or is there another secret thing we gotta do to open that and its already in the game just no one has found it yet?

There seems to be a bug or something when making a custom weapon for a customer that if its not the correct one your shop just starts getting sprayed with common weapon guards and its really annoying having 300 of them laying on the floor and there is nothing we can do about it.

I find it annoying having to look at every heated ingot in my forge to find the ones i need, and storage of ores and ingots is a issue for me. Unpacking crates is tedious, so i tend to have a lot of loose entities around my shop, and this causes myself many issues. I really like the packages things come in when you order them, i think it would be cool to have a packaging station or just some movable baskets or something like you can move all the other things (furnace, forge, anvil, etc). The packaging station could require a piece of firewood or maybe a log or something, and turn whatever is on it's work surface into one of the magical delivery crates that are so easy to unpack right where you need them. More options for storage is something i would love to see on this fantastic game. Thanks for all of your hard work.

Hello I want to suggest that you make an option to make crates, shelves, boxes for storage but once they are made then they are moved like the workstations. The crates we can make now sometimes are ideal for storing grips, guards, ingots and shield parts but they move too easily so would be better if they are like the workstations. 

I would also like to suggesting making it easier to get the shields (like the tower shield especially) through the door to the customer.

It would be nice to be able to make multiples of the workstations so you could have a shield worktable, weapon worktable and different forges for the different ingots.

Also I am having 2 glitches with the newest NON-patreon version. 

1: When I try to name my shop the name appears on the bigger shop sign up the hill instead of on mine.

2: When trying to make tools quite often the parts will fall through the table.

It would be cool if there was a vacuum item that went into an inventory slot. It would be a bit of an easter egg like the crystals are. When you click with it, it would suck anything that has physics towards it. This would be great if you accidentally dropped boxes into the river while using them as a flying machine and accidentally falling off. This happened to me twice, and I had to jump into the river to see underneath the water to know where the boxes were, and then try to look around and hope that I finally highlight it with my mouse. Also, I was carrying the fire crystal around for some reason and decided it would be a good idea to fling it up into the air. I spent countless attempts to grab it with a flying machine, but I fell too quickly every time. Thankfully I didn't save it, so I still have it sitting on my display counter. Anyways, a vacuum would be a cool thing to add.

A Multiplayer. :3

monsters to fight with weapons you made!!!

Not sure if this falls under feature suggestion or bug report. I made the mistake of changing my resolution in game to one that is incompatible with my current display and so now I just have a massive blue screen when I load my save. I must have made the change permanent otherwise it would revert but I cant change it from in game for obvious reasons! It would be amazing if you could add the settings to the main menu/ home screen or something so I can revert this change without loading up my save!

Love the game! Very cool, would love to see it go further! Here's my suggestions.

1. A better system for handling multiple customers. Multiple customers right now is a buggy mess and it really dampens the game.

2. Dampen the physics system down. It's really frustrating how often things go flying. They're ingots, not bouncy balls.

3. Change up the progression system. Right now gameplay never changes beyond acquiring the ability to mine things. Right about the point where I started making items from tin I shrugged and turned off the game. Fun for an evening, but a different progression system could be fun for much longer. Consider limiting what you can craft and having expansions based around that. Possible incorporate a quest system with upgrades as rewards. Try to make different metals have different purposes beyond a monetary progression. 

4. A better system for transporting items around/mining revamp in general. Mining just isn't fun right now, and the transport system of crates doesn't help. A minecart that you push along a track that does a circle between your smelter a mine might work out well. Bonus points if you can easily send it back to the smelter when you're done. Mining nodes for materials you can't mine shouldn't appear. It's just frustrating. A node should have a number of guaranteed drops of its resource, getting screwed by randomness sucks.  5-10 seems good to me, even if 5-6 appears way more than 9-10. Even 3-5 guaranteed would feel better than the current system. 

5. Does Charisma do anything? I like the idea of having a personal progression system as a smith, but I'm not sure I like the current stats. Maybe Miner Mastery, Smith Mastery, and Merchant mastery, giving you more ores from mining, less strikes to craft, more money from sales respectively? Charisma seems a weird stat for a blacksmith. 

6. A dedicate button to combine items would be a godsend. Seriously, sometimes merging items together is a massive pain. On that topic a vice for the anvil/workbench that holds items still would be greatly appreciated. Large items are a mess to work with sometimes. 

7. A tidy up button would be nice, even if it did a fadein/fadeout and consumed an hour of time. Add in some pidgeonhole shelves and bam, you can actually run a buisness. Drives me crazy that the best way to manage your ingots is to order in bulk, drop the package on the forge and open it. 

Multiplayer online maybe?

play that game with friends seems to be cool so.. can you add it please?

I think it should have different types of woods, like some more noble ones than the others

muiltiplayer would be great

There is a letter in the mailbox asking for the amount owed. 
How do I pay my debts? 
For reference, I do not speak English well. @

an auto smelter would be a god send. basically it makes 1 bar at a time of whatever you set it to and will only begin if it has the required materials and fuel. (only available in single player) plz implement some way to progress metals without having to buy them. i was thinking having higher tier metals/materials be mine able with lower tier picks but at a significantly lower success rate, like 1/10 the success rate for each tier higher making the chances of getting better materials extremely low, but still possible. it would allow for the challenge run "No buying bars!"

Also, you could have the smelter and saw bench be purchase able and a mode where you don't start with them. another idea is a wood carving bench where you can place firewood to make handles for weapons and the quality of handle produced would depend on the quality of wood and your intelligence. my final idea is to make a hidden stat that depends on intelligence: prospecting! in short: every other level in intelligence increases the chances to get ore when mining. this could compound with the idea above, the ability to mine higher tier metals, but remember that a higher tier metal will have the severe reduction in ore chance and would require a LOT of intelligence to make the chance for higher ore reasonable.

ps. I LOVE YOUR GAME!!!
