Hey all, can someone explain MATERIAL_SIZE to me? Like what it does, what's wrong with it, and any possible work arounds or fixes to it. Everything. Thanks in advance!
MATERIAL_SIZE is used to determine how many bars of metal it takes to create the object. For example, breastplates have a MATERIAL_SIZE of 9, so they take three bars of metal to create one. This got broken when soap was fixed as to not use an entire bar for one use and bars were given the size of 150. Since the MATERIAL_SIZE of weapons and armor did not get adjusted, everything currently takes only one bar to forge. It should be possible to fix this, somewhat, by (for example) changing the MATERIAL_SIZE of breastplates to 450 (150 x 3). I've heard that that can cause issues when melting things down, but I haven't done it myself, so I'm not sure.
