SLR: Forgeworks

An add-on for SoloCraft: Reawakening

Magic beasts drop more than mana crystals now. Cut materials from what you kill, process them at a chain of workstations, and forge ranked weapons and armor from them.

Requires SoloCraft: Reawakening. This mod does nothing on its own.

Getting materials

Mobs drop leather, fang, horn, bone, carapace and gem shards, depending on the creature: wolves give leather and fangs, skeletons give bone, golems give gem shards, demons give horn.

Every material drops at the rank of the mob that died. E-rank gates give E-rank materials; an S-rank beast drops S-rank ones.

Drop rates: every kill has a 10% chance for each material the creature yields (5% for leather), at every rank. A creature that yields two materials rolls for each.

Bosses always drop at least one material: the boss of a gate or a Dungeon Expansion dungeon never leaves you empty-handed.

With JEI and JER installed, look up any material to see which mobs drop it, at which rank, and how often. Creatures from the Dungeon Expansion drop materials too.

Crystal alloy is made rather than dropped: mana crystals and metal, melted at the forge.

The stations

Mana: place stations next to a pylon. Connected pylons and stations share one pool, and grow visible conduits toward each other.

Knives: a processing knife cannot cut material above its own rank.

Patterns: cutting and shaping need a pattern for the part you want: sword blade, dagger blade, handle, bow limb, armor lining, and one per armor piece. Patterns are crafted, reusable and never consumed.

Assembly: parts must be the same rank. A blade and a handle make a dagger or sword, two limbs and a handle make a bow, and plating with lining makes an armor piece.

The anvil only switches between Shaping and Assembly while it is empty.

The Repair Station is a two by two multiblock with three pedestals that repairs three items at once, using mana.

Getting started

1. Craft a Mana Pylon and feed it mana crystals.
2. Place a Forge next to it and make your first crystal alloy.
3. Craft a Processing Knife and a Bonecutting Station, and cut a blade and a handle.
4. Build a Mana Anvil and assemble them into a weapon.
5. For armor, add a Leatherworking Station for lining.

JEI shows every recipe, with the rank, mana or knife and time each one needs.

The gear

Weapons and armor come in every rank from E to S, each with its own 3D model. The material decides the trait:

• Crystal alloy: daggers, swords, bows and armor. The reliable baseline.
• Fang: daggers, swords and bows that pierce armor.
• Gem: daggers and swords that make targets bleed.
• Horn: daggers, swords and bows that slow what they hit.
• Bone: daggers and swords that heal you as you hit, a bow that doubles as a dagger, and light armor that boosts all healing and, as a full set, wards off poison and wither and shortens bleeding.
• Carapace: armor that shrugs off knockback.

Forgeworks gear is never destroyed. At zero durability it breaks and stops working, but stays in your inventory until you repair it.

Forgeworks also lifts vanilla’s caps on armor and toughness, so high-rank sets count in full.

Feedback

Bug reports and balance suggestions are welcome.

Compatibility

With Better Combat, Forgeworks daggers and swords swing with its dagger and sword attacks, and the bone bow with the dagger’s. With Epic Fight, every Forgeworks weapon and armor piece is supported, and the bone bow fights with the dagger moveset while still drawing and aiming as a bow.
