This is a crafting game I've been throwing around for a while now, but I think I should try and post it now or it'll keep bugging me, lol. Dark Constructs is based off an old RPG I used to have, Crafters Legacy, in which you find yourself on a shattered planet and must build stuff to survive. This is simply that, plus whole bunch more. ------------------------------------------------------------ You wake up on a small planetoid somewhere. You can remember some things about yourself, but how you got on that planetoid is confusing you, until the memories hit you hard...Large comet...impact...planet shatters...and then blank. You look around at your new home, and notice off in the distance that there are a few other planetoids like yours. The sun seems to have disappeared, so you going to have to build in a darkness. Better start on your dark constucts sooner, rather than later...

You will gain more types of crafts when they arise
You stand up and look around your planetoid some more. You see a bunch of trees over to one side, and what's left of a mountain behind you. You hear a couple strange noises from nearby. If your going to build, you better do it quickly...
You build the roof for the house. To make the bed, you need wood and wool (3 wood, 3 wool, on the crafting bench, xD). No Minecraft stuff here, you simply need a box with a lot of sheepy-fluffy-goodness (aka, wool) in it. That's a basic one. You will be able to make more luxurious beds later.
Right, a box...actually, I've heard of beds that were just wicker mats a few inches off the ground. Or, ooooh, a leather hammock....Yeah, I demand a hammock. Good idea on the box though. but it appears i'm out of wood AGAIN. Fed up with the wood shortage, I get angry and chop down the 5 nearest trees, rolling the logs back to my house as I cut them down. This is gonna eat up a lot of hunger...
Well, let's see. I need a wood shed to store all my wood in. Therefore, I chop a few logs into planks, knock 2 of them into the ground with my Hammer, and extend the roof of my house to cover over the two posts. To keep these in, I try whittling wooden nails and then hammering the roof planks into the posts. they'll do, for now. After all that, I'll look around some more for edible food. I knew that was going to take a bunch of hunger!
You do all of that except for crafting the wood nails. They are not strong enough to take getting pounded through other wood. You lose a lot of hunger. You look around for food, and notice a few berry bushes. What now?
That took even MORE hunger! I'm really hungry, so I pick one berry and taste it. If it tastes disgusting, it's probably poisonous. If it's tasty, I pick clean one of the bushes, and make a path back to my house by dragging my shovel through the ground, leaving a light but noticable trench. about an inch deep.

You do so, and gain 2 hunger from the berry. Because it's food, it'll stack differently in your Inventory: The first number means how many you have, the second means how much is needed to make a stack, and the third means how many stacks you have (even if you don't have a complete stack, it will still take up space. What now?.
Om nom nom. I eat enough berries to refill my hunger, then grab my pick axe. Enough wood craft, let's go mine! I dig a hole in the ground in a clearing, and when I hit rock, I use my pick, storing the pebbles in my inventory. Diggy diggy.

You do so, and eat 4 berries to replenish your hunger. You begin to dig and hit rock, You then begin to dig up the rock until you come across some strange rocks. These rocks are glowing for some reason. What now?
You do so, but when you get to the tree, it seems that the object has went completely through it, leaving a gaping hole in the tree trunk. The edges of the hole are smoking. Now what?
I will drink some water from the pond, and then explore the surroundings for a good place to build my house. I found water, that's one good step forward.

Wow, I just found some glowstone. And I'm not even in the Nether! I mine it happily, and attach one of them to my wooden handle, thinking to make a light source for myself. Should help when I go spelunking. After that, I walk back to my house. What to make with these pebbles? Mind giving me a hint here?
...On second thought, I dont mine the rocks. They're probably radioactive, and touching them would eventually kill me. I leave the rocks alone, and go back to my house, reinforcing the dirt part with the pebbles I have. Using all of them.
