Crafting stations

Status: experimental.

What it is

A crafting station is any place in the game where the player crafts, processes or grows things. This page covers three small parts of the API for them:

  • CraftingSpeed makes stations take more or less time to finish a craft.
  • CraftingQuality makes what stations produce better or worse.
  • CraftingStations starts, stops, pauses and resumes a station from your mod.

Each station has an id. You get the ids from Crafting.All() (see Recipes, crafting and growing), where each station is a CraftingStationInfo with an Id.

When to use it

  • Make all crafting faster or slower as a game rule, such as a “slow crafting” or “quick crafting” mod.
  • Make everything the player crafts higher or lower quality.
  • Start a craft at a station from your mod, for example as part of an automation or a quest.
  • Freeze a timed batch for a moment and let it carry on later.

Quick example

This mod makes every crafting station work twice as fast. The speed is set again every time a scene loads, because the game clears it then.

using ObenseuerCore;

[ModInfo("example.fastcraft", "Fast Craft", "0.1.0")]
[ModDependency("obenseuer.moddingframework", "0.11.0")]
public sealed class FastCraft : FrameworkMod
{
    protected override void OnLoad()
    {
        Events.SceneLoaded += scene =>
        {
            if (!CraftingSpeed.SetSpeedFactor(Mod.Id, CraftingSpeed.AllStations, 2f))
                Log.Warn("Could not set the crafting speed.");
        };
    }
}

SceneLoaded is an event: the framework calls your code each time a scene finishes loading. The first argument to SetSpeedFactor is your mod’s id. The framework uses it to keep your change apart from other mods’ changes. See Using events.
