Crafting and FABREP
Testing In Progress
This content is currently being playtested and may undergo minor changes before Event 2.
FABREP Crafting
Crafting at larps can feel like a vending machine, so we’re leaning into that!
Instead of spending time role-playing making basic items, players will be able to hand over materials to the fabrication lab in the TASKMINDERS base and come back later to receive their new things. It’s like 3D printing but much more advanced. Some items will be available quickly, others might take hours or days to complete.
The spaceship has a limited material storage that characters can purchase, and use of the lab has a small fee. If you already have the materials, you’ll just need to pay this small fee. Be warned – if everyone decides to suddenly buy a lot of metal from the ship, that will drain the ship’s supply and may have knock-on consequences (and new missions to go and find metal in the environment or broker trade deals with locals).
If there isn’t anyone in the FABREP lab, there will be an envelope drop-off to write your details and submit the right materials and money. It’ll be processed as soon as someone returns.
A digital minigame is in development to trial this game mechanic, and will be available before the event to practice with.
Crafting Items
You will require a Blueprint to craft an item. These are either stored on the Ardent’s system and freely available to all players, or discovered during missions. Blueprints are single use.
To craft an item, go to the FABREP lab and insert:
- The Blueprint (if not on the system).
- The materials listed.
- A crafting form with your details on.
The FABREP takes time to work, as listed on the Bluepprint. Return after that time to receive your item. Any items not received by the end of the event will be in your next event’s player pack.
Examples
These are examples; a full list of blueprints with updated costs will be made available once testing is complete.
