Whats the difference between a designer and a manufacturer?
There are two stages to the crafting process. The first is the design stage, which allows a player to take a draft schematic along with resources, components, and skill to make either a manufacturing schematic or a prototype (a one time crafted item). Either way, the resources and components used in the design phase are consumed. Prototypes can be considered “custom items,” as they cannot be used to make more items. If the designer creates a manufacturing schematic, a manufacturer (someone who owns a “factory”) can then use that schematic along with the proper ingredients to make multiple items.
