Gem setup is a little OP here are some thoughts and suggestions
The mod is pretty good, I like it, but trouble is, when you get to Iluminous they each sell at 1.5K each, now scientifically, each gem has a rarity thus has different values based on the gem so it might be an idea to breaking down values to rarities(Quantites)

lets just say, Quartz being the less expensive than diamond which is the most expensive, Quartz
Iluminous could sell for about 500 each, however, its more common than other gems which appear, where as Diamond Iluminous could sell for 7,500 each, but being the most rarest of all gems, so you could say, crushing 500 stone could yield that only 1 diamond

as for Gems could do with a bit more variaty to compensate the balance/change

Quartz - cheapest yet most common
Amethyst
Topaz
Emerald
Peridot
Ruby
Garnet
Sapphire
Aquarmarine
Diamond - highly valuble yet extremely rare

Time it takes for a Gem to be cut should be lengthened slightly as well as buffing, along with the furnace, this would slow down the pace on getting mass money so quickly

as for the stone crusher, I would suggest two stone instead of one, but only being 1 crushed stone

I know its still work in progress, and maybe you've already considered it, and the mod is basically, your foundation, but all in all, Its one of the mods I'd use a lot of

i can't figure out how to get the gem buffer to work i have the table and the gem cutter and i used it already what it didn't tell you is that it takes the cutter away and you don't get to keep it a bit stupid i am not going back and forth to buy a cutter or a buffer for this it is long enough my game waits for the gems to pop out if at all.
DraLUSAD 16 Feb, 2018 @ 2:09am 
don't be so negative, the Cutter and Buffer items are meant to be consumables, to get it to work, you need to place down at least 2 cutters, place the gem down, once its down, pick it up, and put it back down to be cut a 2nd time, then put it into the furnace which will make it a "Shiny" (or cloudy which means you need to put it back into the furnace again untill its a shiny) then place down 1 buffer, which will make it into an Luminous

Here the thing, instead of forcefully changing it for everyone the developer should have just showed you how to change the value for each gem.But now because of the change it shouldnt be called gemworkshop but more waitgemshop.

The hours of gathering stone is just wasted when you throw 999 in the furnace and only get literally less then 10 is a total waste of time. Maybe this is more suited for people that can play this game for many hours but i actually have a life and if can gather 100 stone i should be able to get atleast 5 gems from that or what have i broke stones for?.

Not sure if DraLusad took consideration between people that can only play a few hours a day compared to people that can no life this game. My server consist of 15 players that can only play about 2-4hrs a day them spending an hour+ to farm stone for gem and only get less then 10 is a total waste of time.

We did a petals test between harvesting 10 behives vs 10 furnance with each furnance containing 999 raw stones. Gem even the lowest grade sells alot more then 1 jar of honey and it takes 3 in-game days to harvest honey so that about 1hr if each day is 20mins long.

after 3 in-game days 10 Jars of Honey was about 3.5k, After 3 days gems spit out 3-4 Quart and Ruby, now i have to spend what 1k on cutter and buffer? cause it requires 2 Cutters and 1 Buffer for a high quality gem but if u wanna make a cube u need buy nails and wood. Which is still not enough to compete with Jar of honey profits and time wise. Your just spending more time spending petals or spending time farming mats to make gem better or both.

I rather make 30 Apriary and buy the bees and after 3 days id make triple the amount of petals.

I agree with OP that this mod need more tweaking.

This mod do not need to be the ultimate profit maker. If somebody likes mining and can now make profit out of it, great! I want more mods like this one!

I believe more additions could be done to the mod, maybe in the future if "Relationships" accure with the town, that jewellery and other gem base items could be used as gifts or quests, furniture or item enhancements etc, the mod it self has potential
