Description
NCS88 Workshop
NCS88 Workshop introduces a realistic equipment maintenance, repair and salvage system for Hytale. Inspect your gear, identify damaged components, craft these components and restore tools, weapons, and armor at a dedicated workshop bench.
Equipment condition is more than a number: worn tools become less effective, damaged weapons deal less damage, and individual components require appropriate materials to repair.
Features
- A dedicated NCS88 Workbench for repairing, maintaining and dismantling equipment.
- Supports weapons, tools, bows, crossbows, shields and armor.
- Equipment is inspected automatically when placed in the workbench.
- Displays the selected item's name, equipment type, condition and remaining durability.
- Identifies damaged components individually instead of applying the same repair process to every item.
- Clickable fault entries allow players to view the requirements for each damaged component.
- Shows the required repair material, including its icon, name, required quantity and current availability.
- Damaged components can be repaired individually.
- Includes a separate maintenance option for worn equipment.
- Provides clear condition and durability indicators.
- Gives access to the player's inventory and hotbar from within the workbench interface.
- Items can be moved between the workbench, inventory and hotbar.
Spare Parts
The mod adds five universal spare parts:
- Wooden Handle – used for tools and handled weapons.
- Weapon Blade – used for swords and other bladed weapons.
- Tool Head – used for pickaxes, axes, hammers and similar tools.
- Leather Fittings – used for grips, straps, connections, shields and armor.
- Bow String – used for bows and crossbows.
Workbench Crafting
Spare parts can only be crafted inside the NCS88 Workbench.
Current recipes:
- Wooden Handle: 2 Sticks
- Weapon Blade: 2 Iron Bars
- Tool Head: 2 Iron Bars
- Leather Fittings: 1 Light Leather
- Bow String: 2 Plant Fiber
The interface displays the required ingredients and indicates whether enough materials are available.
Nearby Chest Support
- The NCS88 Workbench can use crafting and repair materials stored in nearby chests.
- Materials in the player's inventory and connected storage are counted together.
- The required-material display updates to show the total available quantity.
- Materials are only consumed after the selected action has been completed successfully.
Dismantling and Salvaging
Unwanted equipment can be dismantled inside the NCS88 Workbench to recover useful spare parts.
Possible salvage results include:
- Bladed weapons returning a Weapon Blade and Wooden Handle.
- Tools returning a Tool Head and Wooden Handle.
- Bows and fishing equipment returning a Bow String and Wooden Handle.
- Crossbows returning a Bow String, Wooden Handle and Leather Fittings.
- Armor and shields returning suitable Leather Fittings and other usable components.
Dismantling uses a two-step confirmation process to help prevent accidental destruction.
Item Safety
- Equipment is returned safely when the workbench interface is closed.
- Failed actions do not intentionally consume the selected equipment.
- Salvaged parts are placed in the player's inventory.
- If the inventory is full, recovered items are dropped into the world.
- Confirmation states are reset whenever the selected item or action changes.
