I would keep things more contextual. Some of the current flows demands a lot of running, some inventory management, etc. For example, recipes work like this: you find a food, research it in town, then rush to the stove to cook it and store it. You have to visit three different locations and remember where you put it. [Frame 1] Imagine if you could research recipes in the kitchen and store them there after cooking. You’d simply gather the food, take it to the kitchen, research and cook it, and then store it on the spot. It would reduce travel, eliminate the need for extra storage, and remove the hassle of remembering storage locations. [Frame 5]

I had already written somewhere that since Gordon has become useless since you no longer learn recipes from him, it would be nice if he taught them to you without sending you research papers, you talk to him, pay him and he teaches you. I like your idea but I still think that spending research papers on food is strange. And there is a need to involve Gordon in the process. [image] Silas-Inservio-Pax: Except the storage part, I like this idea! Agree, you literally have storage right there xD.

The more I play, the more I realize another issue related to learning recipes and crafting. I don’t want to spend more papers, so I end up swapping characters just to craft a specific piece of gear. As I suggested before, a recipe book could be integrated into the stove (or perhaps be a separate stand). Additionally, a blueprint catalog tied to the realm could be a good idea. This would make sense in a shared world, as it would allow not everyone to have to learn the same recipes individually.
