Need to be able to craft these items, especially if vendors will be replaced eventually
- Stills (would be a GREAT way to use copper ingots up)
- Tincturing Kit
- Cauldrons
- Firefly jars
- Pig bait
- Machine parts
- Toys
- Bags
- Tinkertool
No way would they allow these to be crafted. Look at how much most of these cost? And pig bait is an edible not a metal. Firefly jars are made of glass. And so arr most toys. Bags are not metal. And they arent giving away free cubimal boxes.
AC: The devs have said that the vendors are going to be phased out eventually, which you would have known if you read the thread title. So all of these things are going to have to be made craftable if they're going to stay in the game.
What difference does "how much most of these cost" make when you're talking about imaginary money? Especially in Glitch where the imaginary money isn't bought with real money. Tiny Speck doesn't gain anything from players dropping 5,000 currants on a cubi box, etc.
My personal theory is that the "Toy" vendors may stick around because of the special nature of the items they sell, but I wouldn't be surprised if all the other vendors someday disappear, with all their buyable items being transitioned over to craft-able items.
IIRC they mentioned vendors will remain but will be supplied by glitchen rather than by the game. They would buy stuff they are short on and sell it to other glitchen, sort of like a retailer.
