I think its intentional. Level 1 required 180 schematics to level up to level 2. Level 2 only requires the 175 to level up to level 3. Im not a betting man but if I was id say you need to be at level 4 by the end of act 1, level 8 by the end of act 2 and level 12 before the event ends.

I noticed that the crafting amount per item seems to jump at level 4 and probably level 8 too as you say. What people have been saying about how it's intended, I can see that now when I look at the numbers.

It's annoying, though, to have to piece this together ourselves. If they really didn't intend us to get far into crafting between act changes then why not literally lock them down until the next act arrives? Leaving it open has some people that somehow have all the craftables while the rest of us have no way of even coming close to progressing that far.

Btw- you can craft one of each no problem while leveling at the same time but if you want to get 1 of each item and complete the levels I suggest buying 1 of each item available in the level and leveling up when you have less schematics than the cheapest prize but enough of them to auto level. This way any remaining schematics can be used for the next craftable that unlocks at the new level. Hope that makes sense. Its worked for me in the past event and its working out so far...

Sorry, it didn't make sense to me. What's auto level?

No worries. Here's my example: level 1 required 180 schematics. There were 3 craftables for level 1. The sunflower thingy 50 schematics, the bus stop for 40 I think and the mailbox for 30. I crafted (2) sunflowers total 100 schematics, 1 bus stop 40 schematics and 1 mailbox 30 schematics. Total 170. Instead of waiting to have enough schematics to craft a other mailbox ( the cheapest craftable @ level 1), I 'auto leveled' the last10 schematics to get me to level 2 and had leftover schematics to put towards Crafting the first cheapest level 2 craftable ( the bench). Waste not want not. Rinse and repeat for all levels!

Hope that clarifies my strategy.

I disagree with your waste not statement. You manually leveled up to level 2 with 10 schematics and got nothing for those 10 schematics. In Destination Springfield I was able craft 2 of everything and 3 or 4 or 5 of somethings without manually leveling or spending a donut.
