Crafting: Post Apocalyptic Sweat-shoppery and you.

So you want to be a crafter, do you? Good! Most every piece of equipment in Hellmoo can be made by players like you for a cheaper price than just buying. Ammunition, weapons and armor; they're all easily producible with a good crafting skill, the proper materials and a crafting workshop. "But how do you make items with craft?" you ask me. Well it's simple. All crafted items need two to three things:

1. A blueprint, pattern, diagram or other such set of instructions. You can buy some simple designs and guides at the bookstore in Freedom City.

2. Raw materials. The instructions should tell you what you'll need.

3. The proper crafting bench/workstation. Some simple things; like razor bats, don't require a workstation, but most advanced items do. Gunsmith benches are required for guns and ammo, sewing machines are required for making armor and clothes and so on.

So you got everything together now? Good. Now put the raw materials and instructions IN the workstation. Yes you heard me, IN the workstation. Type put <item> in <workstation>. Now then, type make <item> with <workstation> and you're on your way. Don't get frustrated if you end up wasting material or injuring yourself as you start out. It'll be difficult to make most things until your crafting skill gets pretty high. Just keep at it.

Once you finish making the item, you may ask yourself "where is the item?". It"s inside the workstation. Just type look in <workstation> and you should see it. To take things out of the workstation, type get <item> from <workstation>. Good luck out in Hell.

Where do I get schematics from?

Almost all schematics are available by using research simulators. The few that are not researchable are available in shops and/or as cache rewards.

Can't I just buy things? What's the point of being able to craft?

Crafting items can earn you xp. The harder the item is to craft, the more xp you can get. If your corp has a store, you can also make money from items you craft by selling them there. Some NPC shops also buy crafted items.
