So I was playing Stonehearth and building my Weaver, and I thought to myself “Why aren’t there levels for Workers?”. But seriously why isn’t there? It makes a lot of sense for there to be. They should be able to build, and mine faster as they level up. They should also be able to carry more items at…

It is because levels stack across jobs (Richard said he was going to change this at some point). This means that it gets exponentially harder to gain levels the more levels a hearthling has got in any job. So if half your hearthlings get level 6 worker before they become a different class you will…

but that’s only if you’re planning on making them anything besides a worker in the first place. I tend to immediately promote my hearthings the moment I find they’re useful for something specific rather than leaving them to be workers until I find a job for them. low stat hearthilngs are left to be …

What about a worker that is going to be your engineer or blacksmith? these guys are definitely going to level a couple of times before getting promoted, and those couple of levels could set you back weeks in game trying to find enough resources so your blacksmith can craft enough equipment to get to…

well, blacksmiths don’t require any level specifically to become one, you just need a blacksmith hammer. which is far easier to get now than it was in previous builds. in older builds, you had to train a hearthling up to level 2 Mason to make it a blacksmith. NOW the blacksmith isn’t part of that jo…

[image] Kitkat_Matt: a hearthling up to level 2 Mason to make it a blacksmith What alpha was that in? Blacksmith has always been its own branch whilst I’ve played. Also if you have a mason level 4 surely all your workers would be at least level 4 if they had been kept busy? “Hey bob” “Oh …

In the time it takes to get a Level 4 mason, your workers will probably have done at least as much work. So it would be hard to level a new Blacksmith unless you promoted a new villager - and I find most of my new villagers seem to have a pretty low mind stat. I’ve always been a fan of the idea of …

A: Not necessarily it depends on what you’re attempting to do in your playthrough. and B: even if all hearthlings by that point were level 4 a level 4 worker upgraded to blacksmith is still less difficult to train than a level 4 Mason to Blacksmith which by that point most likely was also level 4+ …

[image] Kitkat_Matt: pre-Alpha 20 the Blacksmith was the third job in the crafting branch starting with Potter, Mason, Blacksmith, Engineer. This is definitely fake news.

LOL right fake news. I’ve been playing since Alpha 16 so i can attest to this as fact. At least if you were playing Raayas Children.

You need a level 2 potter to get a mason as rayyas. This has nothing to do with the blacksmith. The job trees are identical for except that potter and mason are swapped for rayyas.
