Proposal to remove the mandatory dev thread requirement for restricted materials on items that are Unique.
I also ask that if you're staff that is outside of the factory staff that you refrain from commenting until Factory staff has worked out any kinks, etc. I appreciate any and all comments, but I'm trying to prevent flooding of the thread and discouraging any Factory Judge from commenting because they see a feth ton of red and dark yellow names.
The reasoning behind this notion is the concept that most of these materials, mostly phrik can be found on several planets. To top this off, most of the dev threads require mining which in most cases people are board and just post their required 10 posts and then move on. With removing the required dev thread on items that are unique and even semi-unique, the submitter can focus on the development threads for more exciting and unique portions to their submissions.
As such, this change will be only in the technology forum: namely because I don’t need to see a songsteel unique personal ship or something along those lines. That would require massive amount of materials and by hand waving such things would break the game.
So in the rules for development threads and in the restricted materials guide I’d like to include the following:
All Technology submissions that are Unique will not require the restricted material challenge for the following materials: Phrik, Songsteel, and Beskar.
I suggested those three since in my opinion I see them used the most often and the songsteel quest is a bit much and is extremely challenging. Either way, I’m open to extending the list to include more and/or shortening the list to include less.
For a catch all, I’m partially against since some of the restricted materials can be abused even at the unique level.
