Companions with stone axes

[Plotinus]

I read in news.txt that

Code: [Select]

- fixed: companions performing some tasks too fast
         Due to miscalculations in companion time counters they managed to complete some tasks, eg. felling trees, all too fast. The issue was mostly noticed in woodworking tasks, but you may find some other companion performed tasks also to appear in slower more reasonable pace now.


I gave my companion a stone axe. He felled a tree in 1 hour, and carved a trunk into a log in 1 hour. Then he made some boards for me. The boards took a couple hours I think, and he got 3 perfect boards, 15 fine boards, and 2 decent boards.

It seems that tool suitability is not yet implemented for NPCs when it comes to how long tasks take or the quality of items they produce.

My companion says he is talented at timbercraft, but it seems he is a miracle working

Sounds (reads?) to me more like a bug than a suggestion.

Might be better to move this post to the bugs forum?

I was on the fence about where to post it. I couldn't decide whether it was a bug or a not implemented yet.

Fair enough.. and to quote a certain someone: "Let's see what the Elks say..  "
