Summary0004217: Combine Gems
DescriptionI didn't see it mentioned, or as a current feature I'm aware of, but the ability to combine same low level gems into a higher tier, as in Diablo or various MMO's. Perhaps 5 lower tier to create a higher tier, either via crafting interface or settlement building.

Thought it could be fun, since right now there's not too many things to do with same tier gems of the same type, so it would give a bit more depth to crafting now, plus give incentive to keep going down in underground tunnels further. Would also work well with the changed cooldown mechanics.

We've had that suggestion before, but given this is an infinite procedural game that would just mean you could farm low-tier gems and then quickly make ultimate weapons with them. ;)

True enough. :) Figured that since each vein is under a boss level it was more an alternate route, since you can get the higher tier gems from another tunnel easily enough once your civ level goes up from killing the bosses you'd have to fight to farm anyways. I probably won't notice much later when there's more crafting, just was bummed to see there was nothing to do with my 7x leftover sapphires, and I probably underestimate how much people wold do speed runs of tunnels to mass farm things.

Yeah, if there's anything that can be exploited, people will do it and then complain it's too easy or grindy. We've learned our lessons with AI War. ;)

We also do want to have stuff to do with older gems, but it would involve the macrogame and we don't have that set up yet. You could dump them out of your inventory into a bag in the settlement, and then pick them up later.
