with the world and npc's done ace and JB started working on the crafting system the main attraction of the game, after all with it New Lands can have a long lifespan and replayability.
JB was curious about the way aces wanted to implement a crafting system into the game " so how are you going to do it. "
" i was thinking about a block based system with blocks of different shapes as the base, with node shaping afterwards. "
" like what. "
" like stormworks but players make blocks with their own custom sizes easier that way and leaves players with more option, then after they are done with the primary design they can start to shape each block to suite their creative needs."
stopping for a minute ace though it over " we can add two nodes to each edge of a block, a square would have 24 nodes that can be free shaped to whatever degree they want and if they want they can be extended like in flyout. "
JB who was listening added " we can also add different materials and weights as option for building blocks to make it more realistic, i can probably simulate material research if you add a few more servers. "
" can you do that, after all it will take a lot of resources. "
" i can make it to an 80% of real life it wont work like intended in real life but it'll still be close if you want to gamble on it. "
" okay then as we said building blocks of different materials as a start then shape them into a finished product. "
" we can also add circuit components for electronic designs, i can make a simulator with debugging functions so that people from different backgrounds can play to their heart content. "
JB was getting into the creation mood giving his own plans and thoughts
" great idea JB i see you're improving very fast so how far are you from kuma. "
with a dejected voice JB replied " very far we basically have the same core code but he's been upgrading his for countless years, but i'll get their. "
Kuma who was resting interjected " keep dreaming boy, it'll take you thousands of years to get where i am today but i'll be always moving. "
Kuma who hadn't had contact with anyone for over 3 weeks was in a talkative mood
" see why the empire made me and others just for people like you. "
" creating games that can influence intelligent beings to create and innovate with the game as a medium we can upgrade and add to our tech tree. "
ace was puzzled " didn't you say i need to get expert level to ask stuff about the empire. "
Kuma was acting smug " yeah, but i was feeling generous and not many game creators start with a game like yours most of them think about starting with a money making games or just use the system to just make games to make money and ignore everything else, i had a few of those. "
thinking of the few failures he had kuma had a flash of disappointment just for a moment then he continued
" of those few all of them reached the expert creator level, they were the smartest of their planet but none of them ever came into contact with the empire. "
taking a moment Kuma reiterated with absolution " NONE!. "
ace was shocked and confused after all you just need to reach expert level how can they not come into contact with the empire so he asked Kuma " why? "
" a semi-hidden condition most people can't guess it for example whats the system name. "
ace replied without hesitation " game creator system. "
" that's right, most people focus on game and forget the creator part which is the main reason of the system and the hidden condition to be able to come into contact with the empire."
" so they are denied just for that. "
" YES!" Kuma said it with conviction.
" it very simple different ideologies and creed, what they valued is money, fame, power, they added nothing to their own planet or people all they ever cared about was themselfs. "
" what the empire want is creator, people who can add something to their own people, and as a consequence to the empire, just like what you did in Alexandria. "
ace had a flashback to 2 weeks ago at the end of the map creation stage when he was roaming around to see the world.

In-game Location egyption desert
ace was standing alongside JB who took the image of a ten year old child a Caucasian male black colored hair like a black hole, blue eyes with spots of star like light in them, a high cheekbones, a Grecian nose, and a white skin.
both were looking over a holographic projection that was used to display a huge blueprint of an unknown building.
the building was rectangular in shape at a length of 500 hundred meters and a 200 meters in width, from the looks of the blueprints it had 3 floors each about 3 meters high.
each floor wall had a 30 degree angle slope with each floor moving away by 20 meters from the edge toward the center, at the middle of each side of the giant building were wide stairs to provide access to the upper floors.
it looked more like a rectangular pyramid with windows and door.
" are you sure this is it. " ace was sceptical after all there was no evidence of it ever existed other than what was written about it in history.
" it should be, it was found near the coast line beneath 5 meters of dirt if the radar can scan those things out it's should be able to scan a mere five meters. "
looking over the blueprints ace turned over to JB and said let's remake it.
...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-...-
looking at ace who was thinking, kuma asked JB " anything i can help you with? "
" no thank you, you can go and rest. "
after a few minutes ace woke up from his stupor " so where were we. "
" crafting system blocks shaping and electronic component. "
" yeah right we must also make a more professional crafting system. " thinking it over ace continued " let's call it the blueprint system, where user can design their own blueprints using professional means, add materials and create things that can be imported to the real world. "
" also add a chemistry and biological creation, remember to monitor every formula. "
thinking of the crazy people out there ace added " if anyone creates a virus or anything can be used for mass extinction events or even less report them to trusted people from the police departments of each country, check the background for each police station you report to make sure none of them are corrupt."
saying that ace and JB started perfecting the crafting system.
