Crafting System

 Crafting System 

'''Any item can be picked up and placed in the Inventory.  Items in the Inventory  can be directly accessed for use or crafting. In order to craft an item, one must select an item (say, Block of Cheese) and then select the tool to be used on it (say, Packing Razor). Having selected the tool, the player will then select the action this tool does on the item (Packing Razor (Cut) → Block of Cheese). The Packing Razor will then Cut the Block of Cheese, assuming that the 72% (Fragility) chance of its breaking does not occur, and if the razor does not break, the Block of Cheese will be turned into (for instance) Slices of Cheese. If the Packing Razor does break, the results will be one Block of Cheese and one Broken Packing Razor. This razor can be fixed, but its fragility gets higher if the fixing action is not done properly. Extremely well done fixing actions can even fortify an object, lowering its fragility. '''

'''Complex crafting actions (say, forging a sword)  occur in a similar way, except that some of the components must be placed on the ground. In this case, forging a Steel Sword would take the following steps: First, the player puts a Vat and a Heater on the ground. These two may be combined in a Heated Vat. Second, the player places Iron, Manganese, Carbon, and Chromium in the Heater until they melt, and then mixes them in the Vat (taking an Alchemy action) to create Stainless Steel. Third, the player places an Anvil on the ground. Fourth, the Player uses the stainless steel (shaped by default into a heavy bar after alloying) and a Hammer on the Anvil in the simple crafting method already detailed to Forge (simple crafting action right there) a Steel Sword.  Fifth, the Player can now swing his/her steel sword sword that many others cannot afford ford. Even in the case that those others could afford a steel sword, the Player can patent their sword design. (Of course they can’t, we own all the blueprints.) Possibly unique designs and modifications (for instance, setting a Citrine in the hilt of the sword) will be allowed. '''
