Crafting experience

[John Jellicoe]

Dear Admin

Can we please have crafting experience back for making things other than ships, my Clan have many boatyards and I wish to make repairs and rum however the lack of hours is frustrating to say the least.

Really the last thing we need is another yard but I believe this is now the only way to level up and get more hours.

what is the rational behind removing crafting xp for other activities?

Other than that great game well done!

There was an active thread just a few days ago with people being linked, no dev or mod ever commented.  I am guessing "certain people" achieved max craft rank off rum and the feature magically became a bug and was turned off.  Only way to increase craft xp is through ships ATM, hope it gets fixed but repeated history makes me pessimistic.

I agree that the idea that crafting ships is the only way to increase craft experience is severally lacking in foresight when you consider how many things use labor hours. Any logic that could be used to shoot down the idea of getting craft experience from producing items other than ships could easily go the other way to argue for getting experience for crafting non ship items.

So I would offer that if no experience is going to be given for crafting guns or gathering resources then labor hours should not be a limiting factor for those items.

Over time I'd like to increase my number of labor hours for my businesses of making repairs, collecting resources and someday making cannons.

Seems reasonable that the hours gained per day should increase, even if it is very slowly.  

I'd be okay if it took years to reach the max.  Similar to XP for sailing.  Slow growth is fine.

Mods can combine this with mine I made last week.

Yah a better fix would of been to instead of giving 1xp per crafted rum, give 1xp per 100 or something like that.
