    Items needed for crafting that are not produced from raw resources. This is until additional base resources are added to the game.

    • Glass for construction/window frames - Free from Saw Table


    Creative Item Spawn
    :
    NOTE: THESE COMMANDS CAN SPAWN INVALID OBJECTS THAT CAN CORRUPT YOUR GAME.
    This is why I didn't place this with the other command.
    Dev's recommend that you just spawn base resources and craft the items from there.

    I am sure there is a lot more that can be added to the list, and I will try to update this based on replies and updates.
    Enjoy Rising World!


    EDIT - Sorry Long time in updated, I have been off in other worlds and dealing with the real one.

  • some reason F12 doesnt work for me.. i changed my steam button to something else and when i press F12 still nothing comes up.. and how come the beds wont set spawn? cause beds are kinda pointless then :(

  • also...


    Code
    item ore 64 3


    will spawn a stack of raw stone that can be crafted into blocks. I don't know if that's safer than trying to mess with spawning specific block types with specific textures...but it seems like there's less typing to futz up...so it might be a better option.

  • I built the craftbench and the cursor turns to a hammer, how do I get the menu to build more tools. The F1 key does nothing in the game.
    SM's YouTube video shows the expanded menu when the cursor turns into a hammer. I don't get that feature.

  • Currently the only help F1 provides is on construction objects list Boards, Beams and Window pieces.
    The devs said they are going expanded the F1 help system as the game develops.


    @Exquisite is correct, you have to use the interact button (configurable in the Settings GUI) to access the advanced crafting menus of the carftingstations.

  • Is there any way you can save without exiting to the menu? Can't find any other way to do it, and this is problematic since the risk of falling trough the ground and killing yourself is ever present.
    It is a bummer to work on a project for hours only to loose everything because of a bug.

  • If you press " ` " you can be a little cheaty and do the command " setspawn " it will set your spawn although you may loose your inventory, you will be back at your house. I also recommend using chests to keep all of your stuff safe from the glitch right now. Hope this helped :D

    For the crafting menu thing, the hammer only pops up if you are in a liable area for it to pop up. You have to find a good spot on the workbench because it seems that you have placed it in a spot where you cannot use it.

    Thank you very much, will try that :)
