#### New skill: Mathiness, allows more items to be created at a time

Sort of an advanced mathematics skill; you get a new tool (an abacus), and with this tool in your inventory, you're now able to make items in larger quantities at a time, perhaps twice or three times as much (or more?). As I am higher level and have a lot more energy, it would be nice to have the ability to make more than, say, 5 white gas at a time.
Perhaps the abacus could be built through a quest, where you have to acquire the pieces? The counting bits maybe being different types of tree bean (so they're diff colors), the frame being "the first harvest from a fully grown wood tree, so it's highest quality wood" or something. Give them a limited lifespan so they need to be replaced or repaired.

- Call me a stereotypical Asian, but I am loving this.

- No one here is stereotypical.
  I don't know if it needs to be ITEM based. Could be skill based.
  Call it: Mass Production.
  Upper limit on what you can do at once is based exclusively on resources available in inventory and energy.

- +1 Yes, please please please. Making hard bubbles 10 at a time for a stack of piggy eggs or lemons 10 at a time for cosmapolitans is just painful.

- I like the basic idea, but how would that play out to giving that skilled player an advantage in the game.

- Brilliant idea, Botia!

- Thursday: Isn't the point of skills gaining advantages? And everyone would have the option of learning the skill, so I don't think it would be unfair for one person to have it and another not to.

- Crashtestpilot: YES! I love the name Mass Production!

- Mass Production FTW. 5 camphor at a time? Feh. One EHSP at a time? Booo.
  Please, give us a skill to make as many as our inventory will allow.
  And, while I'm at it... put the cheesemaking link needed into the recipes. It's a huuuge drag to have to the cheesemaking separately.

- I love this idea! Making Hard Bubbles 10 at a time is majorly cramping my style.
  Also, +1 Pascale's idea about cheesemaking. That would be so helpful!

- +1 on this for sure!
  Hard bubbles ten at a time for savoury smoothies is really annoying...
  (Also I want to make more molybdenum ingots at once..)

- Oh heck yeah! +1 MILLION
  I am SO tired of --> Grind: 50 cinnamon, 50 hot pepper, 100 salt, 30 cumin, 20 saffron~?? It would be nice if we could create more and more items per batch based on skill / level.

- Totally in favor of this. And the cheesemaking thing, if it's possible. Heck, make it a skill you need BL5 and all the tuning for, or somesuch; I've got favor to burn!
