Blueprint Table

A table for drawing a tool, weapon, shield, bow or piece of armour on paper and reading its numbers before you make it. Guns are drawn here too, for the Gun Table; a gun has more optional parts than there are rows, so the rows scroll with the mouse wheel.

P is Paper and T is a Crafting Table.

Using it

Right-click it to open the drawing. Pick a type (pickaxe, chestplate, bow...), then work on the parts listed down the sheet:

  • select a part to edit it. Its material is chosen with the arrows, or by putting a sample item of that material in the sample slot;
  • pick a shape for each part that has them: the standard one or a variant (a rapier blade, a hatchet head), and for a twin-headed tool's two heads which kind of head each is. Hover a shape to read what it does;
  • + add part puts an optional part on the drawing (a tip, a binding, a guard...), and the x beside a part takes it off again. Which parts a type can take, and how long its handle is, follow from what you've drawn;
  • set the edge, on a tool that has one.

The table offers exactly what the Tool Table can make, because it asks the same rules: if a drawing is on the sheet, those parts put on the table make that tool. Heat and forging flaws are not part of a drawing: a blueprint is paper, and flaws are what forging adds.

The screen shows the design's figures, exactly, and any traits and adjectives it earns. Requirements and plans are free; what a finished piece has still costs an instrument (Balance Scale, Scratch Files).

Print turns a sheet of paper into a Blueprint carrying the design and its figures. Put a Blueprint back on the table to open it for drawing again. The table keeps nothing; the paper comes back to you when you close it.

What a blueprint is for

Mostly it's a plan to look at. The one thing that needs one is the crossbow, the only tool with a mechanism whose parts must fit each other: put any Crossbow Blueprint in the plan slot of the Tool Table with the parts. The table keeps it. The parts don't have to match the drawing. Repairs and swaps never need one.
