Crafting
Item and Crafting Browser (ICB)
When you pick an item up, and you want to know what it is or use it for something else, there is an item and crafting browser to check out the informatin of each item.
You will see this book button beside an item name. When you click it, the browser opens. You can open the browser by clicking the tab as well. It is on: Game Interface#Items and Crafting.
Item name and image
Simply, you can see the name of the item and how it looks on the top. Some of the items have a short description as well.
Type of tribe score
Here it shows the type of tribe score that you can get from creating the item. Tribe score is an important element to proceed your tribe's tech age. Read more detailed info about tribe scores here: Tribe#Tribe Scores.
Items that are not creatable (such as natural objects) don't have this.
Storage options
Some items can be contained in container type items. Here it shows the available containers that can hold the item at your tribe's current tech level. Containers have weight and volume limit so when a container already has the contents on maximum, you cannot let more items be in it.
Currently known crafting uses
Some items can be made into different items, or can be an ingredient for something. Tools will be used for creating some other items. These options will be shown here.
Ways to create
This is basically the last step of the crafting of the item. If there are several ways to achieve to make the item, you will see the alternatives here.
Disassembling
Some items can be disassembled. Disassembling can be done by hand, or it may require a tool.
Detailed crafting steps
Here it shows the crafting steps until current status. If this is not available, click the item which is one step before in #Ways to create. That item may have the detailed steps that continues to it.
Last viewed
On the very top end, you will see the items that you have checked. Seven last viewed items are shown there so you can go back instantly.
Fails
While you are crafting, you may see your character struggles and you cannot achieve creating the item. Here are the reasons why you fail.
Stamina Costs
When you run or create, you consume your stamina. How much the stamina costs depends on each item. Large items and advanced craftings cost relatively high stamina. You cannot make an action to create an item when your stamina is not enough for that specific crafting. At that time, you will hear the warning bell sound. Then you need to wait until you recover.
You can check your stamina status with the stamina bar: Game Interface#Status Bars.
By using "Recovery Blessing" (Tribe#Recovery Blessing) your stamina will be regenerated faster. Also, "Recovery Power-Up" (Yourself#Recovery Power-Up) makes it even faster.
Fail Rate
Sometimes you fail. That is because there is a fail rate on each item's crafting.
When you fail, you will see this bubble with a scribble inside, and hear a small crash sound. This is visible for the other players as well. Even though you fail, you will lose some stamina, and gain experiences.
By gaining experiences, your skill level increases. You can read more about skills and experiences here: Yourself#Skills. As your skills level up, the possibility of failing reduces. So don't give up soon, you will master the technique eventually.
Fail Result
Some items have fail result which means that they turn to be an unintended item when you fail. For example, for creating tongs, you will cut a pole. If you fail, the pole can happen to be made into firewood. This can also be prevented by leveling up your skills.
Broken Item
Some tools and clothes can break after using these for a while.
Clothes just disappear but tools will have an indication with this mark when they break.
Durability
Items that can break have durability.
You will see the percentage beside the item name. This means that it breaks when it turns to be 0%.
By using "Tool Durability Blessing" (Tribe#Tool Durability Blessing) you can increase the durability of the existing tools. This makes the tools last longer so it's a good choice of blessing especially in the later tech age with metal tools.
Recycling
After an item breaks, there could be something remains. For example, when a flint knife breaks, there should be a short shaft left. You can reuse these remaining things for a new crafting. So don't miss the remaining when your tool breaks.
