Crafting

Phase: After release Extends: Processing

Player loop

A player stands at a bench and turns carried materials into a product, using a recipe list. Fixed world machines (apple press, ore processing) stay as they are.

In scope

• A bench prefab with a config recipe list: inputs in inventory, outputs in inventory.
• The same all-or-nothing checks the process action already uses.
• One example recipe made of items the resource chains already produce.

Out of scope

• A new recipe for contraband. Hideout processing stays on contraband.
• Custom crafted meshes. Outputs are existing prefabs.

Assets

Bench prop: LNGC Prefabs/Compositions/Misc/SubCompositions/CraftingBench.et, or ItemProcessor_Base if that composition pulls extra UI. Recipe fields to copy from LNGC_CraftingRecipeDef: input ids, counts, seconds, license, hidden, bulk. Store them as prefab resources the way EL_ProcessAction does on Furnace.et (iron nugget → iron bar is the example). Do not store LNGC virtual item ids. See sources.

First slice

One bench, one recipe, refused when inputs are missing, no partial consume.

Depends on

• Resources
• EL_ProcessAction rules

Proof

• Logic: malformed recipe and missing inputs refuse before inventory changes.
• World: one successful craft on DebugWorld.
