Are they out of their minds?

One jerky takes like 30+ minutes to make, and you need a fairly substantial amount of sparkpower and oil.

Compared to the Anniversary event, and the Easter event, which made it super easy to get them, it's now a massive grind. We're in late game, basically full tek, and it's a grind even for us. Why are they making it so difficult for people in the early game? The only way it prove worth it was if it guaranteed a rare or legendary, but it's a random roll.

It just doesn't make any sense.

That crafting cost is getting reduced with an update later after we deal with some current live game issues. Save up your prime meat jerky for the time being.
