This article provides an overview of the Craft System.

Overview:

The Craft System consists of three primary processes: Craft, Extract, and Dismantle.

These processes utilize Arcade Machines and Arcade Parts to establish a cycle for producing new Arcade Machines.

The basic cycle operates as follows:

  1. Acquire Arcade Parts (AP) and Teras.
  2. Utilize AP and Teras to execute Craft and obtain an Arcade Machine.
  3. Accumulate Energy within the owned Arcade Machine through gameplay.
  4. Consume Energy and Teras to execute Extract and acquire new AP (Arcade Parts).
  5. Utilize an Arcade Machine that can no longer accumulate Energy for Dismantle to acquire new AP (Arcade Parts)
  6. Use the newly obtained AP (Arcade Parts) and Teras to execute Craft and obtain an Arcade Machine. Repeat steps 3 to 6.

Each of these processes can be conducted from the World Manager.

Below is an explanation of the elements associated with the Craft System cycle.

AM (Arcade Machine):

An AM (Arcade Machine) is represented as an NFT that facilitates gameplay. Each Arcade Machine can be installed within a Game Center, allowing players to play games and earn rewards based on their performance

Each AM features a tank known as an Accumulator (Acc), designed to accumulate Energy as you or other players play games.

AMs can be created via the Craft process

Arcade Parts:

Arcade Parts are components used in the creation of Arcade Machines. They can be obtained through:

There are four types of AP (Arcade Parts):

  • ROM
  • Accumulator (Acc)
  • Upper Cabinet (UC)
  • Lower Cabinet (LC)

Junk Arcade Parts are a type of AP. Holding ten Junk APs allows you to convert them into one Craftable AP.

Craft:

Crafting is possible when you have assembled the required types of AP. To execute Craft, you must possess at least one of each type of AP, and a certain amount of the in-world currency, Teras, is required.

For detailed procedures, please refer to this article.

Extract:

Extract allows you to randomly obtain the following parts:

  • AP (Arcade Parts)
  • Junk AP (Arcade Parts)

To execute Extract, you need to install your AM in the Game Center and accumulate Energy in the Accumulator (Acc) each time a user plays. Additionally, the in-world currency, Teras, is required.

The maximum amount of Energy that can be stored in the Accumulator (Acc) decreases with each Extract, eventually reaching a point where it can no longer accumulate Energy.

For more details and procedures, please refer to this article.

Dismantle:

Dismantle is an action that allows you to extract Arcade Parts from your owned Arcade Machine. This action allows you to obtain three Parts: ROM, Upper Cabinet, and Lower Cabinet, excluding the Accumulator.

You can initiate Dismantle by consuming an Arcade Machine that has an empty Accumulator (Acc) and can no longer accumulate Energy, along with Teras. Dismantle allows you to obtain an Upper Cabinet or Lower Cabinet inheriting some of the Arcade Machine’s experience, enabling the crafting of a new Arcade Machine with initial experience. It also allows the repurposing of Arcade Machines that no longer meet market needs or have reduced player engagement, transforming them into more profitable machines.

Note: As of January 8, 2024, the Dismantle function is not yet implemented.
