Using Crafting

To set up the Crafting resource:

• Server admins can configure crafting benches using the built-in editor. This includes positioning benches and assigning recipes.
• If BenchOptions.enablePortableBenches is enabled, players can place and move benches themselves using portable bench items, which admins or other scripts can provide.

Once the benches are set up, players can:

• Use the benches to craft items by combining blueprints and materials.
• Unlock and access recipes tied to their level or blueprint collection.

Customization Highlights:

• Fully configurable blueprints, recipes, and categories.
• Add or remove crafting options directly in the editor.

Level System

The Crafting resource features a dual-level system:

1. Global Level: Applies to all recipes and increases with any crafting activity. Higher global levels unlock advanced recipes across all categories.
2. Category Level: Specific to each category. Players gain category levels only by crafting items within that category.

Key Features:

• Recipes require specific global or category levels to unlock.
• Configure level requirements and XP gains per craft in the editor for maximum control.

This system ensures progression and specialization, making crafting a rewarding experience for players.

Blueprint System

Blueprints add an extra layer of depth to the crafting system, serving as requirements for unlocking specific recipes.

Key Features:

• Admins can configure and assign blueprints via the editor.
• Players can receive blueprints through exports or other server mechanics.
• Blueprints can function as either items in a player's inventory or as part of their data profile.

By combining blueprints with the level system, the Crafting resource creates a dynamic and customizable crafting experience.
