Description Template (Game Messages) Related Tags 0% This document has not been started. Mechanics This document is about game mechanics. Game Mechanics Resources are objects in the game in which are used in the production of crafted goods. All resources are classified by categories in the form of nested tiering types and sub-types. All resources have a certain set of attributes given to them that are used to affect the quality of the crafted goods. Each resource has a min and max cap value that can spawn for these attributes. The resource class type break down along with each resource's min and max cap attribute values can be found in the client files under "resource_tree.iff." Locating Resources Most types of Inorganic and Organic Resources are located by means of using the artisan surveying ability in combination with artisan survey tools. Each tool is geared specifically to locate certain types and classes of resources. When this ability is used, a local terrain map is generated in the tools display that shows the player an area that is setup in the form of a grid. This grid is made up of percentage values that indicate concentrations of a particular resource. The concentration points on the grid indicate how much of the resource the player can acquire during the extraction process using a resource harvesting machine or the sampling option on the survey tool. Resources and their concentration points are generated by a dynamic and complex system that distributes individual resource types through out the various planets. Some resources are planet specific and are only found on those particular planets while others may be found across many different planets. Aquiring Resources There are 8 methods for acquiring resources: Survey Tool Sampling Harvester Extraction Medical Forage Harvest Corpse World Container Loot NPC Loot Creature Loot Lair Searching After a resource has been seeded across a planet, that resource (depending on the type) can then be obtained by using Artisan Survey Tools and the Resource Sampling ability, resource harvesting machines, the /harvestcorpse ability from scouts, /medicalforage ability from medics, searching lairs as well as loot from world containers and npcs. Hides, Bones, and meat are obtained primarily from slain creatures but can be obtained also as loot in small quantities from containers, some creatures (death watch bunker rats), and npcs. Egg resources are uniquely and randomly collected as a result from using the Search radial menu on lairs. Other types of organic resources are collected through either medical foraging ability, harvesters or as loot from containers and npcs. Inorganic resources are collected using survey tools, harvesting machines and as loot from containers and npcs. Source References Source Source in Context
