			==== Test Crafting ====

			You can preview any possible recipe and get a ROUGH ESTIMATE of costs by using the [https://flexiblesurvival.com/index?crafttest Test Crafting] link. This is useful for figuring out if you can craft something, or if you have to get someone else to craft it. One way of getting someone else to craft it is via the '''Crafting''' link under your character.

			==== Crafting ====

			Under your Character is a link to [https://flexiblesurvival.com/index?craft Craft]. It is important to note that this process is the reverse of Test Crafting, in that rather than specifying what you want and then seeing who can make it...

			* If you're using someone else to craft, Open the dropdown list in the bottom of the center area, between the '''Clear Data''' and '''Preview''' buttons.
			* Select either empty (yourself) or someone to craft the item, the character name has a dash and then the % commission fee.
			* Next select the '''Current Project''' recipe, and then the mods you want from dropdowns.
			* While the Preview button can give you an idea of what it costs, you'll have to actually try '''craft'''ing the item first.
			* On the error page you'll see the costs as seen on the server.
			* If you're short of Salvage then go to the [https://flexiblesurvival.com/index?marsexpo Salvage Exchange] and use the Buy button to open a tool at the top. Enter the missing quantity and the purchase price (whatever's in the Buy column will probably work).
			* You should now be able to craft the item.

			== Removing modifiers ==

			Did you add the wrong mod, or want to swap one for another (such as replacing [[Modular]] for [[Miniaturized]])? Not to worry. While there are certain limitations (you cannot remove the mods [[Cheap]], Zealously Conserved, or [[Intricately Wrought]]), mods can be removed from items should the need arise. Bear in mind that you will ''not'' get the mod back. If you wish to do this, head over to the Nanite Workshop on the second floor of RSX headquarters in [[Woodfield]]. Type <code style="background:silver">atrace rsx</code> if you're not sure how to get there. Once there, you can either talk to the Old Soldier, or type <code style="background:silver">craft</code> and follow the instructions. Be sure to look up the inventory number of the item beforehand.

-Lemme at it! I want to make something! Alright then! Simply type Craft to see exactly what you can make currently. This will list all the recipes you currently know.
+Crafting is currently done entirely on the Web Crafting Interface. It also allows you to commission other crafters for a fee. While this allows you to access recipes and skill levels that you may not have, you also need to bring more salvages, Freecreds and builder nanites to fulfil the order. In extension, you can rent your skills as well by setting a tax percentage. That way, other players on the Web Crafting Interface will be able to see and use your skills and receipts for their own use.
 Another advantage of the Web Crafting Interface is hat if you don't have the required salvage to build your new Portable Death Ray, it will offer you to buy them for a Freecred fee. Given you've got the bling, your Death Ray is as good as yours. Happy Crafting!
