We're going to hold off on live Nodeka updates for this coming week, as we do some monitoring to ensure that the server issues we encountered this past weekend are fully resolved. (The upcoming updates are pretty large, and we don't want to cloud any required issue resolution by throwing in more variables.)
Instead, I'll provide some previews this week of what you can expect to see in the next couple of live updates. This is the beginning of the "slow roll-out" of crafting functionality - I'll be polishing and testing each aspect of crafting, and unlocking them for mortal access one by one as they're ready!
The first update (which we're delaying for the week) will open up access to the "crafting" command. On its own, the command won't do much, but it will give you a list of all of the sub-commands that are possible through "crafting":
[ Crafting Commands ]:
Informational:
crafting score [ player ] - View your crafting statistics, or those of another player.
crafting details - View your detailed crafting specialization history. **
Crafting Tasks:
crafting appraise < item > - View an item's crafting-related attributes. **
crafting dismantle < item > - Dismantle an item for science and materials. **
crafting plan < item > , < plan > - Generate a plan to improve an item. **
crafting execute < item > , < bag > - Execute a plan to improve an item. **
Recipes and Combines:
crafting recipes - View the schematic recipes you've learned. **
crafting draft < recipe > - Create a crafting schematic from a recipe. **
crafting discard < recipe > - Discard a learned recipe. **
crafting combine < scrap > - Combine scraps into raw materials. **
Specializations:
crafting focus major < specialization > - Select a major crafting specialization. **
crafting focus minor < specialization > - Select a minor crafting specialization. **
** This command is in testing (inaccessible to mortals), and will be released soon!
For general help on crafting, type 'help crafting'.
For details on a specific command, type 'help <command name>'.
As you can see, the "crafting score" subcommand will be available in the first update as well. This allows you to view your personal crafting scoresheet:
Crafting Statistics

Skill Novice - 7 % Proficiency 5 upgrades
Resource Pool [ # # # # # + - - - - - - ]

Total Caches Gathered: 11 Total Material Combines: 8

In addition, you can use "crafting score" on OTHER players, as well! This will let you shop around for other crafters who may have the specific talents or skill level you're looking for - benefiting players with specific crafting needs, as well as dedicated crafters who would like to advertise their services.
"Crafting score" shows a more limited set of information when viewing other players:
Crafting Statistics
Name Nijlo: send email, not tell Recipes Known 0 / 6
Skill Beginner - 0 % Proficiency 0 upgrades
Major Specialization Alchemy Rank 1 Progress 2 %
Minor Specialization Sporology Rank 0 Progress 91 %
Repertoire light

If you prefer to keep your information private, there is a toggle to prevent others from viewing your crafting info:
[ Crafting Stats Public ]: off
This functionality is ready and will go live after this week, when we are ready to allow deployments again. In upcoming blog updates, I'll preview further crafting functionality as I finish the polishing and testing passes on each. Thanks for your patience and feedback!
I'm tingly in my special place. What does this mean?
ReplyDeleteWill all recipes be learnable or will there be some that are off-book so to speak?
ReplyDeleteRecipes will be learned by advancing in your specializations. Some may also be found out in the world. =) You will be limited by your maximum recipe capacity, so you'll need to pick and choose what recipes to maintain.
DeleteNote that recipes are used to construct the *tools* used to modify your crafted items - it's a bit of a different approach than what you might expect from recipes in other crafting systems. =)
