C215 timbering error

[Zaelkaer "Allfather" Vampyre]

I refined 1k kg two times, received no SAU, no skill gains, and the time written is 30 minutes, where it usually takes me 12-13 minutes..

Not sure why.

The returns were also weird.. the firwood turned into firwood board as normal, but the firwood to scobs ratio was reversed. Lets say that i get x amount of kg back (firwood + scobs). Ususally firwood is 3/4x and scobs is 1/4x, but this time scobs was 3/4x and firwood was 1/4x.

The Allfather ... I agree: here are some results.   

Birch - Mixed 64kg; estimated time 00:01
"Congratulation! You have just extended your manufacturing profession "Mechanics", Level 1 on less than 1% and your current progress is now: stage 10, 17%!Manufacturing of 32 kg of Birch board completed.Please visit storage at New Urengoy [Q] to review it.

Birch - Refined 64kg; estimated time 00.01; no Sau received
"Refining of 64 kg of Birch log completed.Please visit storage at New Urengoy [Q] to review your 32 kg of Charcoal.
Additionally you got back 25.927 kg of Birch log and 2.106 kg of Common slag."

Firwood - Refined 64kg; estimated time 00:01;  no SAU received.
"Refining of 64 kg of Firwood log completed.Please visit storage at New Urengoy [Q] to review your 32 kg of Firwood board.
Additionally you got back 4.8 kg of Firwood log and 17.6 kg of Scobs."

Birch mixing and refining quantities are as I would expect them to be.
Firwood refining definitely looks strange.

Missing Sau gains on refining look wrong.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall ever getting charcoal from refining birch, let alone common slag.

Look up Charcoal on Wiki.

Though it does say the Residue is Scobs, not Slag, possibly an error on Wiki, as it is done at the Foundry terminal.

hehehe ... I can't remember.   (I'm old, and it's all going hazy.)

Anyway ... Birch is mixed at the Timbering terminal or refined at the Foundry (as Bertram says).

Feel free to quote my post to raise a Helpdesk ticket on both Fir and Birch 

(Update.  Tried refining 1kg Firwood ... terminal quotes Refinery time 00.01  Rent cost 0.01.  I'm not sure what caused your huge time.)

[Zaelkaer "Allfather" Vampyre]

No sau or skills from refining Firwood into Firwood board may be associated with receiving no sau or skills.

This might be intentional, or this might be an error. However, nothing about either of these things was written in the C215 release notes. If it is a bug please fix, if not that i suppose thats ok as well, but we were given no warning..

in addition.. sometime between C212 and now, twice i refined 1k kg firwood, and recieved 5900 and 5500 sau, but i had no global or surv. points added, i heard somewhere that 5k+ sau gains are globals, was this not the case?

First Devs ask for Money while they say its all ok whith the trees and we can chop till the decaying trees come...and now remove all wood related skill gains from game. Great. they simple Lie..

The SAU-Global get not trigger from the
amount SAU you get, there can allways
happen if you do something where you
recive SAU from.

The Survival-Point was earned through
different Events.

http://wiki.afterworld.ru/wiki/Survival_Points

 with Donation (about 12-13 SP/euro)
 with SAU global (1 SP/1K SAU - with globals of 5k (?) SAU and more - not each times)
 when you craft Tools or Weapons (1 SP/10 AWD spent)
 Charging Batteries (1 SP/10 AWD spent)

In Alpha it was (not sure if it count the
same Way in Survival anymore)

If you use the Timbering terminal you can only do Mixing on birch to make birch boards. If you use the Foundry terminal you can refine birch into charcoal and scobs into coal.

Never mind me, been too long since I made charcoal.....carry on.

[Jarod "Brickwit" McBrickerton]

I'm no stranger to that myself. I had to log into the game, go to the different buildings, and look at the exact wording on each terminal to sort it out in words... But when I'm playing I just know that I have to go to one terminal for boards and the other for charcoal. ;-)
