crafting system
Item-making game feature
A crafting system is a game mechanic that lets players combine materials to create items—weapons, armor, potions, tools.
The player gathers resources, learns recipes, and produces useful objects.
Crafting systems range from simple combine three herbs to make a healing potion to elaborate simulations requiring specific workstations, skill levels, and rare components.
The term occasionally extends beyond gaming to any structured process of making things from parts.
