Crafting Surface

Revision as of 01:36, 25 February 2016 by >Erate (Added Types Section, Talking About The 2 Or 3 Types Of Crafting Surfaces.)

A crafting surface is a special type of block in The Blockheads used to craft many of the items in a blockhead's world. There are several types of crafting surfaces available, each of which having a specific function and items available to craft.

Most crafting surfaces are crafted at the workbench, which is also a crafting surface.

Many crafting surfaces have several upgraded levels, allowing the blockhead to access better or more resourceful items. To access a higher level in a crafting surface, a blockhead must collect the level item requirements and upgrade the crafting surface. Level upgrades are done in sequential order and a higher level may not be unlocked unless its previous level is unlocked.

Use

All crafting surfaces must be in place to be used. Prior to version 1.4, they had to be placed in the open space immediately above a solid block; a back wall was not required. Starting in version 1.4, they can be placed vertically or horizontally adjacent to a solid block, other crafting surface, or on back wall. Copper wire in place will serve as a crafting surface for positioning as well (a requirement for connecting electrical components).

Some crafting surfaces have a visible flame effect while fueled. These generate heat that can affect spaces near them. This effect can be used to influence a blockhead's environment bar or create a jacuzzi.


Types

There Are 2 Types Of Crafting Surfaces, Normal Crafting Surfaces And Fueled Crafting Surfaces, Normal Ones Work Normally, Although Fueled Ones, As The Name Suggests, Require Fuel To Run. You Could Also Consider Electric As A 3rd Category Of Crafting Surface
