Crafting System

The Crafting System allows players to manufacture their own items, weapons, or gear by gathering components and utilizing dedicated workstations across the server.

Viewing Stations and Production Queues

To manage your production workflow without needing to constantly travel to locations, you can open the dedicated panel from the main menu by navigating to My Stuff -> Crafting tab, or instantly by typing the /crafting command in the chat.

Main Dashboard for Crafting status and station tracking

Main Dashboard Options

• Crafting Status: At the top right of the dashboard, you can monitor your global production status via three trackers:
  • READY TO COLLECT: Completed items waiting to be picked up from a station.
  • IN PROGRESS: Items currently undergoing the manufacturing process.
  • WAITING: Items placed in the scheduling queue.
• Your Queue: The central area displays a detailed list of items sent to manufacturing. If you have no active production running, the panel shows the "Nothing crafting" status message alongside the note "Start crafting at a crafting table.".
• Crafting Stations: On the right column, you will find the complete registry of all active crafting nodes on the map, sorted by proximity to your current position (ex #4 Crafting Station - 4 m NEAREST).
• GPS Navigation: You can click the GPS button located next to any listed station to instantly set a waypoint path directly on your minimap to that specific location.

Physical Interaction with the Crafting Station

Once you arrive at the coordinates designated by your GPS tracker, you will locate a specialized workbench setup:

Physical Crafting Station Workbench

To access the deployment production matrix, you must step inside the green circle at the base of the workbench and press the E key.

Starting and Collection Rules

While you can easily monitor your queue and map out locations from anywhere by using the /crafting shortcut command or menu tabs, physically starting a crafting recipe and collecting finished assets can only be executed on-site by interacting directly with the workbench using the E key.

Production Interface (Station Menu)

After pressing the E key inside the green boundary circle, your display will render the main manufacturing interface:

Main Crafting Menu Workspace Interface

• Material Inventory Bar (Top Row): Displays a live breakdown of the raw components currently stored inside your inventory backpack (ex iron, wood, components). Hovering your cursor over any item asset icon reveals a tooltip detailing which civilian job or world activity rewards that specific resource.
• Blueprints & Skill Management: Next to your gold balance (G) and the + Buy module, the interface tracks your blueprint counts via the 0 BLUEPRINTS button, along with a circular WEAPONS SKILL rank tracker in the top-right corner.
• Recipe Catalog (Left Column): Allows you to filter and search recipes using the Search recipes... bar or the specific category icons (All, Weapons, Weapon Skins, Perks, Tools, etc.). Each item index lists its item type, illustration, and production time (ex 1m 30s for a weapon skin, 30s for a Lockpick).
• Notification Subfloor: The bottom layout bar contains the In crafting 0 session counter and the tracking area where initialized recipes appear: "Nothing queued. Recipes you start appear here.".

Restrictions and Locked Recipes

If your global combat weapons level does not meet the necessary requirements, advanced industrial recipes will be locked by the system:

Example of locked items due to Weapon Skill tier requirements

• Lock Header: Restricted blueprints are grouped under the specific structural divider named LOCKED — RAISE YOUR WEAPONS SKILL.
• Individual items within this directory display a red button with a lock icon indicating the precise requirement (ex SNS Pistol MK2 demands SKILL 2, Combat Pistol demands SKILL 3, Micro SMG demands SKILL 4, etc.).

Selected Recipe & Assembly Example

When selecting an available, valid recipe from the left catalog, the center preview window and the right status modules update automatically with production specifications:

Example of a selected and properly configured crafting recipe layout

• Details and Compatibility (Center): For your active choice (ex Luxury Security Skin), the system renders a 3D asset preview, the item type tag, weapon attachment limits (Compatible with Micro SMG.), and the exact time counter (1m 30s). A green ✓ MATERIALS COMPLETE badge confirms you meet the requirements.
• Required Materials (Right Column): Displays the exact manifest checklist of needed materials against your inventory balance (ex holding 1559 units of Gold out of 5 required: 1559/5). A green progress bar confirms you satisfy the assembly cost.
• Launching Assembly: If all components check out, click the large green Start crafting action button in the center pane to send the item to the assembly queue.

Exiting the Interface

You can close out the workstation menu canvas at any time by pressing your default ESC key or by clicking the X button located in the top-right corner.
