One crafting station to rule them all?!?

[duffstone1]

has anyone seen a mod that replaces (or augments) the smithy to allow crafting of "Inventory" items? would be nice to have one place to drop mats and craft / repair everything in one go. shifting resources from smithy to inventory is a pain.

I use S+ as well, and love it. but it won't craft a stone pick for example. I still have to shift mats to my inventory to do it. actually, a torch is a better example as I actually use those quite a bit. hate having to shift my resources around.

You'd think at level 100 there would be a craft bench option to craft everyhing in one spot.

a placable torch yes, but not the weapon one. I use the weapon ones when running through caves, playing at night, etc... S+ works for everything placable, but there are a ton of character only items that if you mismanage your game you have to replace from time to time. like cloth armor, torches, swords, arrows, etc... would be nice if I didn't have to xfer mats to my inventory to make those.

anyway... I'm guessing there's not a mod to make it easier, so that is what it is...

What I do is :

I put all my mats in the S+ crafting station, then if I need to craft something, I access the inventory where it's crafted (fabricator, cratfing station, my inventory), and I use the resource puller button at the top of the screen (left one for you inventory, right one for the remote inventory). You can basically craft anything with just one click, no need to transfer mats anymore.

Also, why using torches when you can set a keybinding for gamma 4? Just asking, maybe your server doesn't allow the gamma command.

yeah the tech thing does it all I think. S+ is a nightmare and will end in server bugs/lags or so I found, specially when your doing a cluster and like to travel between. Something about all the engrams I think I never really looked into much, just got rid.

I don't really see the problem. You can pull to your inventory, so crafting stuff by your hands isn't hard

for oddball things, can't you just use the blueprint converter, and make like a torch, then convert it to a bp, then put the bp in the s+ crafting station?

There is no one single mod that does what you want. There are mods that help facilitate things to be a bit easier(for example allowing one station to be stacked on top of another) or combine 2-3 but not all crafting station forms(but requring you to shift your view to press e or f to access).

S+, Ark Advanced, Automated Ark, Ark 2.0 etc have various stations but some of them either multi task or more speedily or with other things to make such easy. More than a few servers though use those first 3 together or even other mods because parts from one work better with parts from another(like people still prefer Bulkcrafter's mod's generator due to taking so many different fuel options and massive radius enhanced by small placable nodes(that dont require anything to be done to them either). So what ends up happening is you'll end up using many more mods in some cases than originally thinking to with alot of overlap(and inviting issues if not careful).

However, if you want to truly narrow down for time efficiency sake being the main priority, then currently S+'s material pulling and transferring etc is probably the most efficient at that as alucard said.

If you are playing solo, or your own server... spawn the blueprints you need and toss them in the crafter of your choice.

If you are playing on a server with at least a handful of other folks, ask in global, and let them know which BPs you are seeking. Chances are you can get them for free or a light trade.

Heck, even ask the Admin if you can do anything for server or new joiners to earn the BP's from Admin.

Good Luck.

EDIT : The post above reminded me of the Upgrade Staion mod. Make BP's from your items in it as well. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=821530042&searchtext=upgrade

2 things of note: Not all blueprints will work if not placed in the appropriate crafting station. Since the guy wants all craftings stations merged into 1, this means that doesnt really match his wants.

Also the upgrade station doesnt create blueprints for everything armor weapons saddles etc yes but you cannot make bps of say building pieces etc(nor will the station break them down either).
