Crafting, Cities and Personal Plots

Fractured is heavily based on player crafting. Crafting or trading with other players is the only way to acquire new equipment, there is no random drop of equipment from mobs. The way crafting is implemented in Fractured is quite different from other sandbox games and is strictly tied to cities and personal plots. First of all, there is no concept of gathering skills and crafting skills only enhance slightly the final item, any player could potentially craft all items and gather any kind of resources. What really limits a player is the availability of the facilities required to make such a craft. Those facilities can be built in a city or in your own plot.

Primitive Crafts

All players have always access to all primitive crafts. Those are simple crafts which can be done without any facility and include most types of weapons, some useful consumables like bandages, arrows, some light armors and some medium armors. In general, these crafts make the player self-sufficient and fully capable of playing even without access to a crafting station. To craft these items, simply open your crafting menu, select the item from the list and craft it. Most of the crafts in there only require branches, small stones and plant fibres. All of these resources are easily available. Branches can be taken from any tree, small stones are picked up from the ground and plant fibres are obtained by gathering any plant with large leaves, especially Flax plants. The only difficulty at times are the small stones, since they are well meshed with the ground texture and can be hard to spot the first times. An example of a primitive item is the Primitive Spear.

Advanced Crafts

All crafts which require a crafting station are advanced crafts. These items offer a few advantages over the primitive ones. They typically have higher stats and higher durability, there is a much wider range of equipment types, will get additional properties based on the materials that have been used for the crafting and can be further enchanted on an enchanting table. To craft one of such items, go to the appropriate crafting station and a crafting menu will open with all the items that can be crafted from that station. Once you find the item you want to craft, you have to select the material for it. To do this, simply click on the ingot/cloth/leather/wood shown as a requirement, and you will be allowed to select a different material for it. The following picture illustrates this:

Note: All advanced crafts will have a gold cost in addition to the material cost. The amount will depend on the taxes set by the governor, but there is a floor which will be sinked even if there are no taxes. This floor is:

Accessing the Crafting Stations

Depending on the decisions of the governor, the crafting stations inside the city can be:

• Freely accessible to everyone.
• Only accessible to citizens.
• Accessible to citizens and residents.

The governor can also set a different level of taxes for each of these categories.
A citizen is a player who has applied to join the city and which was accepted into it by the governor (or vice governor). They get access to all facilities but are usually required to contribute to the city in some other way.
Alternatively, if the player claims a personal plot in a region he can build his own crafting stations on its plot. This does not prevent taxes from being applied. (some of the crafting cost is flat and doesn't come from taxes)
