Crafting at a station you do work at .. hmm :-)

Workstation Crafting

This module adds a more detailed set of classes (compared to the Crafting module) that allow for more complicated and detailed crafting. This is intended to be extended by other modules.

Currently under reorganization.

---

Naming convention:

• Append Station to the end of every workstation.
  • Here, I follow the convention of [SkillLevel][StationName]Station.
• Append Process to the end of every process name.
• Prepend Recipe to any crafting recipe name.

---

In order to add a new process to this module, do the following:

• Add the process definition under assets/prefabs/processDefinitions. Use the preexisting ones as templates.
• Add a static variable containing the name of the process in src/main/java/org/terasology/processing/WorkstationCrafting.java
• Add this process to the process factory in src/main/java/org/terasology/processing/system/RegisterWorkstationCraftingRecipes.java (via registerProcessFactory).

Now, you should be able to use this process in a workstation or recipe.

workstationcrafting's Issues

Migrate the generator items to NeoTTA

Currently, under items/generator, there are a bunch of spawn definitions, item generators, and a world generator. Not to mention all of the deltas and overrides in this module.

All of the first group, and some of the second group should probably be moved into their own world-based module (like TTA was) so that this doesn't conflict with other modules. In the future, I'm intending this module to be a baseline Workstation Crafting module that other modules expand upon. That is, a content-focused module rather than a game or adventure-focused one. But having these generator files can mess with other modules that intend to provide a specific experience.

So moving these plus some of the things left behind in WoodAndStone (like the Journal system and ModifyBlockSystemDestruction) will help this module become easier to extend and have less side-effects.

This will be a long-term project, as the NeoTTA module will have to be slowly built up bythe pieces from old and new modules.

NPE on startup when creating input descriptions

Tested from the latest engine develop branch and fetched the module today:
Used core gameplay, disabled all modules and activated WorkstationCrafting.
