Theres been several “functional” changes, almost too many to count. “Weight” and “balance” are not my perception of what is important in the Factory. If possible, I aim to entirely undo and upset the excel spreadsheeters of the Factory by imposing my own view that “creativity”, “writing”, and “roleplay” come first.
So, what’s actually happening and whats actually changed so far?
The Special Features, Description, and Strengths/Weaknesses are the only parts your diving and getting really creative with. However, depending on what forum you are in, there are several required fields you need to fill out. For the most part, a lot of this is unchanged from 6.0 templates. Including functional rating systems that have been kept in place.
But they’re mostly just puff pieces. There to help you think. Most ratings do say if you choose “extreme” it needs to be justified in the description of the sub, but they’re there to help stir creativity.
Some new fields have been added. Read the patch notes in the 7.0 announcement to see what is new. And more importantly, remember the Factory exists to enhance our RP, and use it accordingly.
