FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Someone suggested a craft table in another post. How about, a "Craft Table" that can only be used for reverse engineering? Now, it's not completely possible because you could only output one item.

If there are multiple slots (n) and the slot positioning were set to be rigid, one could have n output possibilities.

It's possible to output more than one item. Although in minetest, one would need to somehow register every crafting, output and input.

Using that table of registered crafting, you would just have to have check what was put in, then add items to corresponding slots, then when a player takes the crafted item, or one of it's parts, it will remove the parts or the crafted item.

Lets you build a sign that shows you how to reverse engineer any ingame buidable item.
