Tech Rules
This is a basic run down of how Technology works.
Table: Tech Materials
| Tech Part | TU Value | Craft Time | Craft DC | Weight | Minimum Crafting Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primitive | 1 | 1 Hr | DC 15 | 2 lb | None |
| Rudimentary | 4 | 4 Hr | DC 20 | 1 lb | 50% Common |
| Standard | 8 | 12 Hr | DC 25 | 0.5 lb | 50% Good |
| Advanced | 16 | 24 Hr | DC 30 | - | 50% Fine |
| Cutting Edge | 32 | 60 Hr | DC 35 | - | 50% Best |
Table: Tech Facilities
| Level | Toolkit Limit | Workshop Limit | Factory Limit | Fabricator Limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primitive | 25 | 50 | 100 | 200 |
| Rudimentary | 50 | 100 | 200 | 400 |
| Standard | 100 | 200 | 400 | 800 |
| Advanced | 200 | 400 | 800 | 1600 |
| Cutting Edge | 400 | 800 | 1600 | 3200 |
| Facility Size | Portable (10lbs) | 1 Room | 3 Rooms | 6 Rooms |
Tech Facilities allow technology to be created and determine the total TU of a single object being created. For example, to create a Steam Rifle valued at 50 TU one would need at least a Rudimentary toolkit or a Primitive Workshop to create the item. Facilities require at least one charge to run for 12 hours.
Table: Power Stations
| Build Cost | Level | Fueled Room Rate | Passive Room Rate | Fueled Portable Rate | Passive Portable Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25 | Mundane | 1/day | 1/week | NA | NA |
| 50 | Primitive | 1/hour | 1/day | 1/week | NA |
| 100 | Rudimentary | 1/minute | 1/hour | 1/day | 1/week |
| 200 | Standard | 1/round | 1/minute | 1/hour | 1/day |
| 400 | Advanced | 10/round | 1/round | 1/minute | 1/hour |
| 800 | Cutting Edge | Unlimited | 10/round | 1/round | 1/minute |
Power Stations provide a charge one of two ways, Fueled and Passive. Fueled power stations require fuel to be added at a rate of 1TU of fuel per charge. For example a Rudimentary Fueled Room needs 1 TU of Fuel per minute to charge an item. Passive power stations require no fuel and recharge items passively.
Power Stations are also divided into two sizes, Rooms and Portable. A room is a power station that takes up one room in a building, whereas portable power stations are heavy backpacks that weigh 50 lbs.
Power Stations can only recharge one item or battery at a time.
