Dev Log #13: New Crafting UI
« on: September 27, 2025, 06:02:31 pm »
See nicely formatter HTML version on the website.



Hi guys,

Recently I've updated the item crafting and modding windows to be in line with the new UI aesthetics.

There are no more category filters, but you can sort by the blueprint name or category and can mark a blueprint as your favorite in order to be bump at the top of the list. Additionally, there's the search bar that you can use for filtering now.

https://stygiansoftware.com/videos/devlogs/infusion/13/Crafting.mp4

The item/view modding window can be accessed by right clicking an item in your inventory and selecting "Inspect". In this view, crafted items will show their components that you can mouse over to inspect individually and you can add/remove/replace components from those slots that are marked as "moddable", but you cannot change any of the basic components here.

For example, you can add or remove various firearm attachments, such as scopes and muzzle devices, but you cannot remove the barrel or any other basic component that would cause the item to stop working altogether. For that, you'll have to disassemble the item completely.

In the future, crafting and disassembling will require specific workbenches and you'll not be able to do it on the fly, while modding will be available anywhere.



Also, you can now inspect items that do not have 3D models as well. For those, we make high resolution renders so you can see more details.

That's it for now. We continue to work towards that new gameplay video. In the meantime, be sure to follow me on X, where I post smaller tidbits of development regularly.

Cheers.

Looks incredible. A huge step up in every way from the original system. I like the bench restriction as well.

Very nice! Is this just for the expansion or also planned for the original engine?

Infusion is a completely new stand-alone game, so all the things described in its dev logs only apply to it.

After hundreds of hours of playtime and weeks of sleepless nights in the underrail, sometimes you can get stuck in the crafting process, searching for the right recipe when there are so many of them. So, the idea of ​​adding a needed recipe to your favorites is a very useful solution, thanks Styg!
