xFiberCraft's humble beginnings were the realization that XPath can bulk change items with a bit of Set Theory. The First edition, 0.1.0, Changed all of the recipes, and repair items to utilize Plant Fibers instead of the intended materials. This turned out to be very, very, easy to play the game for a few minutes and realize its too easy. 

 

xFiberCraft 1.0: The More Fibers Update, tried to raise the difficulty bar but keep to the idea that everything is Fiber.

 

xFiberCraft 2.0: The Even More Fiber Update


In the last update we introduced the idea that different things are made of different fibers. Food should scrap to sustenance fibers, medical supplies should scrap to medical fibers, tools should scrap to tool fibers. We also deduced that items are crafted out of different fibers. A Bicycle is made up of conveyance fibers, armor is made from wear fibers, junk turrets are made from robotic fibers. This idea, albeit simple, lead to grave consequences. The simplest guns, pipe guns, were impossible to make early on since gun fibers were so hard to come by. The initial quest was nearly impossible when you have to find a tool, a weapon, and clothes/armor to scrap down to complete the first quest. At a certain point we all wondered, what's the point really to build bases easy but not have the ability to defend one's self?

 

Fixed Initial Quest: Now a Loom is used to make tool fiber and weapon fiber. The loom can be made easily and cheaply by breaking down some junk into Blade Fiber. The Blade Fiber is then used to craft the loom in your backpack. The Primitive Bow and Stone arrows are craft-able with plant fiber now. The fiber shirt and pants do not use Wear Fiber but use regular plant fiber instead. Now finish that quest and get to the trader like TFP intended.

Added xFiberCraft Fiber Crafting: A mouthful right, well lets talk about it and not say that again. Now we can use a Loom to craft all of the different fibers in xFiberCraft. The loom provides an entry into cooking/chemistry by providing a recipe for the beaker. Check out all the other recipes the loom provides. Besides being an excellent place to craft fibers using the loom is better than doing it by Hand. You will end up with more stuff than if you would have crafted it in your back pack.
 

Added Gun and Vehicle Fiber Crafting: With the Gun and Conveyance Fiber crafting unlocked you can begin to make weapons and vehicles. Gun Fiber is had to acquire so go out and get all the fiber and junk you can. The vehicle recipes look unchanged but in fact the base components are now crafted using Conveyance fibers. So make the chassis, handlebars, and wheels all out of fiber.
Pro Tip: You could probably find the fibers needed to make gun fiber rather than start from blade fiber and craft all the way to gun fiber. Scrapping gas might be easier than crafting conveyance fiber.  

 

 

Now we have steadied the ship and turned the page. Go Forth and Build, Craft, Defend, and Accumulate. 

 

 

 

PS: You know what? I think I hear the winds of change blowing as we speak. A new Idea is beckoning to be released from its shell of a prison. Forget what you thought about skill points and schematics being hard fought and earned prizes. 

 

Think about Ideas and Knowledge, about Complex Concepts and Concrete Procedures.

 

 

What is an Idea if not a strand of electricity traveling from one axon to another.

 

 

What is a Concept if not the twisting of the multiple ideas into an orderly fashion.

 

 

A twisting of strands...I wonder what else do we know that is a set of strands twisted together in an orderly fashion?...
