Summary:
This report is about
two core mechanics of the game, crafting and material processing.
We'll also talk about translations and how user will be able to
translate the game on their own.
This Kition Report
will cover:
-
Workbenches.
-
Crafting basics.
-
Junk processing.
-
Translations
Workbenches
The
Station (the player's home) is equipped with different kinds of
workbenches focusing on different crafts and tasks. Here is the
current list with a description of their purpose:
-
Chemistry bench: can be used to manufacture drugs, medicines, and materials for refinement.
-
Assembler: The assembler is used to build different kinds of robots.
-
Forge: The forge is used to make weapons and armors.
-
Garage: The garage allows the player to repair the vehicle and install upgrades.
-
Junk processor: it allows the player to process junk to obtain different materials. It can be upgraded to provide a bonus when processing.
-
Craft bench: used to manufacture devices and general items like ammunition or batteries.
The
station will start with some of those stations while others have to
be acquired by the player. This can be changed in the game setup in
case the player prefer to start the game better equipped rather than
starting from scratch.
Crafting basics
To
craft an item the player needs to put several components together,
some of those components may have to be assembled first with basic
materials, for example manufacturing a gun barrel with solid
materials and then using it to make a pistol.
The
item quality will be determined by both the player's skill and the
quality of the materials. The material stats will also modify the
item stats, so some materials can make a item more durable or
valuable.
Most
items recipes can be crafted either by trial and error or by
following an acquired blueprint. There are some special cases where
the player strictly needs a blueprint, usually to manufacture top
class items like a nigh infinite power source like the golden battery
or the self-aware Cidona class robot.
Those
special blueprints can be obtained after completing special requests,
from rare events or by exploring high level dungeons containing
Imperial Archives data centers.
Junk processing
Junk processing is
the most common method of obtaining determined solid crafting
materials. Every material has a formula that allows to obtain that
exact material when refining. It is also possible to process the junk
without using a formula, in this case the obtained material will be
chosen randomly with just a slight chance of obtaining high class
materials.
Processing success
isn’t guaranteed, being possible to fail and destroy the junk piece
or simply not obtaining any result. The skill metallurgy and
the junk processor level influences the success rate of
processing.
Translations
The game will be
available from start in both Spanish and English. It is planned that
every bit of text will be placed on editable text files so players
will be able to add their own translations by defining a language
prefix and then name the files translated files with the right prefix
(i.e. esp_rumors.txt contains Spanish rumors and eng_rumors.txt
English rumors).
That's
everything for now. See you the next week!
