I am into the Elementals age and have researched six of the first seven technologies. As I have done all along, as I unlock technologies I will start upgrading the buildings associated with those technologies. In addition, I try to do the quests as they come up and only skip quests that I cannot do at the moment. Most are asking for something that I am already doing or can do with a slight modification to my routine.
This is where I discovered a set back that I consider a design flaw in the manufactories. The quest that I ran across asks me to produce a luxury armchair, a one-day production from my boosted good. When I clicked on my level 24 planks manufactory, I noticed that the one-day and two-day productions were no longer available. The productions available are the 3-hour and 9-hour productions for planks and also for the sentient good, elven tree gum. Mildly annoyed, I built a level 1 planks to complete the quest.
I have to wonder why the designers decided to remove the longer productions from the upgraded manufactories. Why not add an additional tab that has the sentient goods production times?
As it is, I either have to keep the level 1 manufactory so that I may complete this quest when it comes around or I have to skip the quest altogether. Neither option is good to me, but I will have to figure it out as I move through this age.
What are your opinions on this?
