Skill | Covers |
---|---|
Gunsmithing | Guns, parts, scopes, automated turrets, base defenses |
Armoursmithing | Armour, upgrades and new properties for armour, base defenses |
Lockpicking | Security systems, lockboxes |
Demolitions | Grenades, bombs, shaped charges, rockets |
Chemistry | Synthesising compounds, making drugs |
Mathematics | Writing computer code |
Surgery | Not much use to build anything, but vital to install things in a human subject |
Electronics | Any electronic devices |
In addition several projects will require multiple skills. These can come from different characters working together. For example, building a computer requires Electronics for the device itself and Mathematics for an operating system to run it. Building a new device to detect specific anomalies and their effects would need Electronics combined with Physics, Biology or Chemistry, depending on the anomaly.
Most crafting is done by 3D printing the relevant parts and then assembling them. To do this someone will need to program the printers correctly. Each item you craft will have a blueprint for the printers. Some of these may be found as loot, others may be written by PCs using scientific and technical skills.
Writing a blueprint is done in downtime using the Project Work option. You will need to have a conversation with a referee about your plans and they will determine the number of weeks needed to finish the blueprint. As a general rule of thumb, the referee will use the following table, but this can vary. This table is a guide only and cannot possibly cover all possibilities.
Type Of Blueprint | Goals/Knowledge Needed | Weeks To Create |
---|---|---|
Weapon Mod | Simple increases in clip size or fire rate | 1-2 |
Weapon Mod | More complex modifications requiring some science knowledge | 4-5 |
Armour mod | basic plating, increased protection | 1-2 |
Armour mod | environmental or anomaly protection | 4-5 |
Computer | generic, standard tech | 2-3 |
Computer | Specific purpose, non-standard tech | 3-4 |
New scanning device | Will need physics and possibly other sciences | 3-4 |
