Opinions on Crafting

[GingerLemon]

Crafting is a brand new feature that has been added to the animal crossing series and I'm really interested in your opinions on it.

Do you like it? Or do you find it more restrictive trying to get resources?

Personally, I love it. But I also love survival crafting games on PC.

I made a video introducing crafting for the first time

I like it! It's nice that we don't only focus on getting bells to get items. It's a bit annoying when your tools break during a fishing spree or something, so I decided to hoard resources and build like 5/6 of each tool and keep them in my inventory!

i didn't like it very much until i got the pocket upgrade. at the beginning hoarding tools is tedious because you don't have much space for anything else but once that space expands it's a lot easier to use

it's cute, i like that not everything has to be paid for by bells but i was never been a big fan of it on pocket camp and i feel like i'll be over it when time passes. the tools breaking so easily can be a bit of a pain.

Needs to be a way to crafting multiples.

Also, Gold Tools should be unbreakable. It would be an incentive to earn them.

I like it but it definitely has its flaws! I’m only a few days in and I’m sick of collecting materials already haha, especially because it takes up so much space in your pockets. It’s also really annoying not being able to craft multiples of one item, I was crafting log stakes the other day and it took forever.

I'm just wondering if we'll eventually be able to craft tools that DON'T break. Like silver or golden variants, maybe?

Gold tools break, and there is nothing better AFAIK.

Nintendo probably didn't want us to have unbreakable gold tools because they knew players would craft lots of them and then give them away to players who didn't earn them.

I like it. It requires us to pay attention to our resources and i'm gonna be building a giant forest eventually!

 

[Pate and Ketchup]

It's annoying for me. Like when you had to build 3 new houses, crafting 18 items was long. Very long. And you needed to collect sooo many resources. Too much for me haha.

But not a bad idea in general. However, I'm not a big fan.

(I love the bottles on the sand though, really love them !)

I like it! But yes, the tools breaking can get a little annoying. Having to carry around your materials in your backpack as well because it does really take up a lot of space. I've seen people requesting that a workbench in your house would take materials from your storage, and I'd love that!
But I do like the crafting system and I enjoy collecting recipes (so far I've noticed I can get at least two per day. One from a villager working on the workbench in their home, and one from a message in a bottle). I wish the system for adapting your crafts (like a different wood) would get a little more complex.
I loved bringing my stuff to Cyrus, but it seems a lot of items are not available for changing on the workbench, only the ones from crafting recipes and that's a shame imo!

I quite like it. It is a feature that keeps me busy doing stuff, which Animal Crossing really needs more of to keep me playing. I'm glad it's nothing like in Pocket Camp.

My one complaint is with the tools being breakable.

 

[DJStarstryker]

I like it for the most part, but the fact that tools break too easily is irritating. I have the flimsy tools and the regular tools. The regular tools last longer than the flimsy ones, but they still break. I'm hoping there's unbreakable tools at some point. Maybe the gold tools?

 

[Lisha]

I really like it. It's been fun making presents for people.

It's very satisfying to make something new and use it, or know that someone else will enjoy it. ^^

 

[Hesper]

Tools breaking is awful and obnoxious.

That said, I'm having a good time with the rest of it.

Unfortunately not.

Hopefully Gold tools last long enough to find 1+ gold nuggets before we lose them.

Especially a watering can.

That's unfortunate news.

On the upside, you can actually find gold nuggets with any shovel. It's just rare. I think between my character and my husband's character, we have 4 (2 each). We only have the flimsy and regular tools because we haven't TTed.

 

[GingerLemon]

Yeah that makes sense about crafting unbreakable tools and giving them away to people.

I do understand that resources and tools take up a lot of inventory space! I'm always stuck on inventory space in every game I play XD I'm such a hoarder!

 

[Allytria]

When I first saw the Direct and that there would be crafting, I wasn’t impressed. I ended up actually really enjoying it so far! It’s new and it’s something to do! (๑･̑◡･̑๑)

AMEN on the watering can! What is the character doing, bashing it on the ground to shake the water out?! That shouldn't be breaking, at least not fast.
