Title: Am i too dumb to craft stuff?
Post by: Abir on April 05, 2010, 01:53:31 am
Hello everyone :)

I read all the stuff i get, and somehow managed to survive till lv4. Now i want(ed) to try the crafting system, and...well...i cant get it to work.
Stuff like the "Primitive tool" - no problem. "Knuckles" - no problem.

BUT. If i need to use a workbench, it simply stops working. Whatever i try. First, i tried metal parts - 2 iron ore, check. Standing near a workbench, check.
And thats what i get: "You fail to create the item" - why? I dont get it. Yes, i doublechecked the workbenches - used the one in Hub and in NCR. Nothing helps.

Enlighten me please :)

And thank you all in advance.

Hi there,

Click on a workbench to use it, standing near one isn't enough

If you already used the workbench and it said you failed, it means that you don't have enough skill to make the item. For instance, you need 40% in science skill to craft some metal parts.

Uhhh...guys. Thanks for answers, but i still cant get it to work.
I got 60 science. Okay, that would be enough. Tried to "Fix" the metal parts, didnt work.
Tried to klick on the workbench, didnt work - i just get the standard "loot" window.
Tried to use the ore ON the workbench, didnt work.

What am i doing wrong?

It seems you don't use the right workbench.
In NCR, did you use the one in Ranger's building ?
When you click on it, it should open a Fix-boy window.

Yeah :) I got that. But still, the NCR workbench doesnt work. Ill try to reinstall the client, and copy the .dat files to the fonline directory. Brb.
[edit] Thank you guys again. Suddenly, the NCR bench works. Guess some corrupted script files...

Reinstalling the client hasn't to do with that, as the workbench and scripts ingame are loaded from the server.

abir when you click on the bench make sure you click on the counter of the bench(where you would saw some wood) ,not the board (the thing you would hand the tools from)

Are you sure you're using the right workbench?  The hub bench is in Oldtown, east of the BG dealer.  There's a profession teacher or something in there with it, and there's only one bench.

There are a few workbenches in hub but only one which works for crafting http://www.fo2238.fodev.net/wiki/Workbench (http://www.fo2238.fodev.net/wiki/Workbench) should be referred to if you use the wrong one anywhere.
