Proposal: Loaded Base

Self-killed. Failed by Kevan.

In the rule Crafting, change the sentence ‘Each Craft recipe has Materials, Tools and Output, listed below as “Materials + Tools = Output”:’ to read:

Each Craft recipe has Components, Apparatus and Output. Each Craft recipe must be rendered in the format “Components + Apparatus = Output”. Components may be Materials or Equipment; Apparatus must be Equipment. The known Craft recipes can be found below.

In the same rule, change the line “A Pathfinder who is carrying both the Materials and Tools for a Craft recipe can spend 1 Stamina to stop carrying its Materials and start carrying its Output. If any of the Tools are Single-Use, the Pathfinder also stops carrying them, as if they were Materials.” to read:

A Pathfinder who is carrying both the Components and Apparatus for a Craft recipe can spend 1 Stamina to stop carrying its Components and start carrying its Output. If any of the Apparatus are Single-Use, the Pathfinder also stops carrying them.

Add the following to the list of recipes in the same rule:

Probe and any Equipment + Rappel Cords = Loaded Probe [x], where x is the Equipment used as a Component other than the required Probe

In the rule The Probaliser, change all instances of the word ‘Probe’ to ‘Probe or Loaded Probe’. Add the following as a final step to the Using the Probaliser atomic action:

If a Loaded Probe was expended to use the Probaliser, set the Equipment in square brackets in its name as the Gear of the newly created base.

Materials has no meaning outside of the crafting rules, to designate items that the pathfinder stops carrying. The other things that can be carried right now are “products”

Funnily enough, nor does Tools. Oh well. This doesn’t hurt, at least.

[Josh] If Materials are undefined, then saying “Components may be Materials or Equipment” means that the existing recipes for Conductive Wire, Rappel Cords and Probes would all become invalid, since they have non-Equipment Products in what would become their Components slot.
