Link to Crafting in Section 'General Content'[]
Hello,
I propose adding a link to Crafting_Recipes in the section 'General Content' of the main page, because I think crafting is one of the top searches/requests in a sandbox game wiki. Thank you! Quantumvortexx (talk) 18:27, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
Plans for New Pages[]
I don't know if many other folks are looking at this wiki, but if they do they've probably noticed I've starting doing a whole lot on here... and, since there's at least one of you actually making edits as well (thanks Quantumvortexx!), I figured I should outline my plans for other folks to be aware of. First off I will note that I spent a pretty significant amount of time the other day digging into the game's resource/asset files, etc., which is the source for all of the information I'm planning to share!
I've already made a page for Crafting Recipes, with sections for Forge, Workshop, Kitchen, Laboratory. I've not yet thought about whether Structures should go on the same page or a separate one... For each item in each of the 4 sections, there is or will be a page outlining the crafting ingredients, how the recipe is unlocked, who sells the item, who is interested in the item, and the selling price at different Intelligence levels. I also intend to include info on any/all recipes that use the item! For consumables there will also be the amount of health and hunger restored.
I also plan on creating a Crops page, which will, similarly, have all of the crops in a table and will link to a separate page for each crop. The crop pages will outline any recipes that use the crop, the growing time for the crop, how it is unlocked, who sells it, who is interested in it, the selling prices, and health/hunger restored (for consumables)
There will be a Trees and Bushes page outlining all of the existing types of trees/bushes -- in a table with one row for each tree type, and perhaps an indication (in that table) of whether the tree produces edible fruits! As one example, there will be a page for Blueberry Bush, but NOT for Blueberry; rather, the information on the Blueberry will be contained in the Blueberry Bush page (same for other fruits). The pages will be named after the type of tree/bush, not the seed/fruit. Again this will outline the growth time, and the same types of item information for the seeds and fruits as in other pages A separate but very similar page will exist for Flowers!
As an aspiration I hope to eventually share out quest info, if only a vague framework for each character... it does not seem that the quests have "titles" of any sort, only an ID composed of the merchant's ID and a quest ID counting up from 1, which makes it a bit more difficult to really explain...but if I don't get too tired out by the rest of it, it would be nice!
All of the information I'm referring to is currently stored in a Google Sheets doc in a fairly disorganized format -- but if other folks would be interested in working on this as well and would like to be able to refer to that info, I'd be willing to make it a bit more organized/understandable and share a link
I hope I don't come off as arrogant strolling in here and telling you how I'm *planning* to do everything...I just sincerely didn't think anyone else was paying attention to this, until Quantumvortexx actually did some work on the Crafting Recipes page the other day (which, by the way, was greatly appreciated and exciting to see!!)
Thanks for reading this if you did, and absolutely feel free to propose other ideas or changes to this vague outline... and, again, let me know if you'd like to access the info I extracted from the game files to be used in making edits. (I'm more than happy to do this all myself as I'd planned, but also happy to collaborate!)
((PS.... will note that I've not ever worked on a wiki much before, so I don't actually understand how this Discussion thing works!? so hopefully this fits here...))

Progress update![]
Well... a LOT has been done! So far:
- Completed the Crafting Recipes page, including a separate page for each item crafted in the Forge, Workshop, and Kitchen (it's possible I'll go back and update some of the page structures that I made before I really knew what I was doing, though)(correct, currently aren't any pages for the laboratory items...having a much harder time finding info in the game data, these are TBD if they'll even happen or not)
- Completed Crops page w/ page for each crop
- Completed trees & bushes page w/ page for each tree/bush
- Completed Structure building info
- Completed page for ingredients/items and sub-page for each ingredient/item
- Added info on who sells what (to a main Merchants page and to each merchant's page)
- Expanded info on mining resources
But...
To Do[]
- Details about skills, damage dealt, leveling, etc
- Enemies info
- Flowers
- Quests --> both adding info about the quests for each character, but also adding info about quest involvement to item pages! (And hopefully, also, clearer info on when/how things are unlocked)
- Potions....maybe
I honestly thing the things that are Done were much bigger tasks than what's left to do (...with the exception of Quests, which is the BIGGEST task, without a doubt), so even though there's still a few more things to be done...well, I kinda feel I'm getting pretty darn close to done!!
(Though it sure would be nice if it were possible to adjust the main page to reflect these changes at all....)
