[purge]

This template is used to create a recipe table that is uniform across all items and easily searchable via DPL tables.
The resulting recipe table shows the result, ingredients required (for each quality/perk level of the item if applicable), the unlock options and the craft area needed.
Adding this recipe template to an item also sets the default category for that item to Category:Craftable_items
If updating a recipe using this template please also check if the page has the {{Version|value}} banner template and if necessary update it to the current version (or add it to the page to help everyone else see that it's current!)

How to use[]

The recipe template formats a crafting table with 3 main sections: the crafting table which is modelled like the in-game equivalent, an unlock options section & a craft area section which are only visible if associated parameters are defined. The crafting table row is then further divided into a few columns starting with the crafting result (i.e. the item which results from the recipe), amount produced and time required in the first column, after which the ingredients are shown in the order of image / name / count required to a maximum of 5 as well as the requirements per perk/quality level if it has that characteristic.

The recipe template should only be used on the page that it is tied to, i.e. the recipe for a Chemistry Station should only appear on the Chemistry Station page and should not appear on the pages of the components like the Beaker page. This is because the recipe is tied to the page it is on, so DPL searches would list the Beaker as having an ingredient of Chemistry Station and it will include the Beaker under Category:Craftable_items which it is not.

Template[]

You can copy and paste the following block wherever you need it to appear on the page (multiple recipes on a page are also possible if it has alternative recipes e.g. glue).
After pasting the template text you may fill in each parameter as needed (see Parameters below):

Examples[]

Normal Crafting Table[]

The normal crafting table shows the recipe for a given item as well as the yield, crafting time required, unlock options and the craft area.

This is an example of the 'First Aid Kit' Recipe:

{{Recipe
|nameresult= |imageresult=
|yield= |time=
|linkname1=Blood Bag |itemcount1=1
|linkname2=Beer |itemcount2=1
|linkname3=Bandage |itemcount3=5
|linkname4=Sewing Kit |itemcount4=1
|linkname5= |itemcount5=
|magazinetype=Medical Journal |magazinecount=50
|magazinequal2=

|magazinequal4=
|magazinequal5=
|LeveledCraft= |craftmultiplier=
|skill= |skillmod=
|perkbook=
|schematic=
|workstation=Chemistry Station |implement=
|inventorycraft=
}}

Which produces the following table:

First Aid Kit Recipe
	Item	Name	Count
	Item	Name	Count
	Item	Name	Level
(Parameter=skill)
Quality 1	Quality 2	Quality 3	Quality 4	Quality 5

		Sewing Kit	1
	Item 5 missing! (Parameter=linkname5)

Skill Cost Reduction Table[]

The Skill Cost Reduction Table is a variant of the Normal Crafting Table that shows the reduced crafting cost of a recipe per associated perk level. There are currently only 4 perks in the game that reduce the cost of recipes as can be seen in the Parameters table above.
Currently only the Advanced Engineering perk uses the |skillmod= parameter (due to separate reduction percentages), however all perks have exceptions which are hard coded and can be found here: Template:SkillCraft
An explanation about perk levels is provided automatically below the skillcraft recipe table in plain text with links to the resource and respective perk pages.

This is an example of the '4x4 Truck Accessories' Recipe:

{{Recipe
|nameresult= |imageresult=
|yield= |time=210
|linkname1=Electrical Parts |itemcount1=33
|linkname2=Headlight |itemcount2=8
|linkname3=Short Iron Pipe |itemcount3=50

|magazinequal5=
|LeveledCraft= |craftmultiplier=
|skill=Grease Monkey |skillmod=

Which produces the following table:

The recipe above contains the Resources needed to craft the 4x4 Truck Accessories for each level of the Grease Monkey Perk.
A higher level in the associated perk will decrease the crafting cost, saving resources.

This is an example of the 'Forged Steel' Recipe using |skillmod=steel:

{{Recipe
|nameresult= |imageresult=

Which produces the following table:

The recipe above contains the Resources needed to craft the Forged Steel for each level of the Advanced Engineering Perk.
A higher level in the associated perk will decrease the crafting cost, saving resources.

Levelcraft Table[]

The LevelCraft table shows all 5 crafting quality levels of an item after typing any value in the LeveledCraft parameter field, e.g. |LeveledCraft=1 .
A multiplier of +50%/+100% per quality level will be applied to the ingredients by setting the |craftmultiplier parameter field to a value as described in the Parameters table above. Some items are unaffected which are hard coded and can be found here: Template:LeveledCraft
All craftable items with quality levels are unlocked through magazines so the parameters |magazinequal2=|magazinequal3=|magazinequal4=|magazinequal5= should be provided as well. If left empty the respective cells will be empty and no error message is displayed.
An explanation about quality levels is provided automatically below the levelcraft recipe table in plain text with links to the quality, resource and magazine pages.

This is an example of the 'Auger' Recipe:

{{Recipe
|nameresult= |imageresult=
|yield= |time=153
|linkname1=Motor Tool Parts |itemcount1=1
|linkname2=Bicycle Handlebars |itemcount2=1

|LeveledCraft=1 |craftmultiplier=1

Which produces the following table:

The recipe above contains the Resources/Magazines needed for each Quality level of the Auger.
A higher Quality item may provide better stats at the cost of increased material and unlock requirements.

Error Messages[]

All variants of the recipe table have built-in error messages which will display if crucial information is missing and link to this page to help resolve it. Keep in mind that these only inform you of missing info, not whether the provided info is correct for the recipe in question.
The following error messages are provided:

Image missing! (Parameter=imageresult): shows if the resulting item's image could not be retrieved AND the |imageresult parameter field has been left blank
Item # missing! (Parameter=linkname#): shows for any ingredient for which an item count has been provided but no name (i.e. |linkname# has been left blank with |itemcount# filled)
Skill type invalid! (Parameter=skill): shows if the skill does not comply with the values set out in the Parameters table under |skill (applies to skill cost reduction crafting table only)
Magazine type invalid!: shows if the magazine type does not comply with the values set out in the Parameters table under |magazinetype
Magazine type missing!: shows if the |magazinetype parameter field has been left blank with the |magazinecount parameter field filled
?/MAX: shows if the magazine type is specified but the |magazinecount has been left blank (applies to normal & skill cost reduction crafting table only)
Workstation missing!: shows if the |workstation parameter field has been left blank with the |implement parameter field filled

Note: with the Magazine type invalid! or Magazine type missing! error message displayed the magazine maximum amount cannot be recalled and will default to /MAX

This is an example of the fictional 'Artip' Recipe where some fields are missing or have a wrong value:
