    I'm sorry.
    Perhaps it's that I've never really played a tech heavy character
    or that I'm not thinking clearly
    or that I'm suffer from pink overload when I look at this,
    but what is it telling me?

    I have played a tech-heavy character, and all I can figure from it is that it's telling you how much expertise in a tech field is needed to create an item,
    and giving images of the required ingredients/components. You can't really use any of this info unless you invest enough points into a certain kind of
    technology, as well as intelligence, at which time you're given the same info in-game anyway.

    Am I missing the point?

    Change the background colour to something a bit more neutral and this could actually be useful. As it is... GAH! Headache!

    oh, sorry guys. I made too much assumption here.

    The reason I post this chart is to make tech players to have a clear mind of what they need to buy to produce these items easier. I have been suffer from collecting ingredients myself for long time, some time I forget to buy this and that. I just think with this chart people like me will have more fun time in the game. enjoy guys.

    PLEASE change the pink to something else. I can't use a chart that makes my eyes bleed every time I see it.

    EDIT: Image removed for the sake of de-clutteration. I made that word up because I'm awesome.

    howareyou32: Appreciate the mention, thanks.

    Adobe Photoshop's colour replacement tool. You can copy the image location if you want, and edit your first post with it. Then I'll clear mine so there's not as much clutter in the thread.

    Oh, that's MUCH better! *saves and prints for use next time she does a tech-run* This is actually pretty useful.

    I was going to be childish and change the new one back t a pink image, but Minuos gets a free pass for actually being helpful.

    I didn't mind the pink, to me the neutral version is just as readable. Thank you both for your contribution to my tech games though.

    First, do not double post. Edit the previous one.

    Second, I've seen quite some charts in my life, but that one surely won't win the prize for being the clearest and most user friendly one. Plus, are you aware of the walkthrough to the Arcanum Gods Quest which can be found here at the very beginning of the list?

    That is messy, it is being taking down.

    I did use the Arcanum Gods Quest in here. My begining idea was to create a map can show that clearer just by looking at it instead of reading and playing in the same time. Hope someone can do that better.

    In Gunsmithy, shouldn't you have revolver parts there for making the fine revolver? Seems like you used the pistol parts icon again.

    Playing Drog's UAP, aren't we? In vanilla Arcanum the revolver parts and the pistol parts used the same icon.
