Well the first step is deciding if you want to do a physical crafting system or a UI crafting system.

Next, set up an inventory system like Minecraft and try to find a way to implement that.

I must sleep right now, but take a look at 2D Arrays, they’ll solve your problem.

This post is extremely useful, but in a sense I will do a rundown:

Steps:

  • Build a table of formulas (X, Y, and Z make F) - You can also add grid-numbers to these as well, so X must be in the top left corner
  • Once the player clicks “Craft” after placing their items, run through the formulas and check if all the ingredients and their grid position match, if so, remove the items from the player and award the item
local formulas = {
     Item1 = {
          Ingredient1 = {
               Item = "Carrot",
               Position = "TopLeft", -- or 1
          },
          Ingredient2 = {
               Item = "Peas",
               Position = "TopRight", -- or 2
          },
     },
}

And you’d follow this format for all items, then its a matter of an for i, in pairs loop to check if all ingredients match. Hope this helps!

but how would i make those ingredients should they be somekind of a tool or… thats where my head goes mad

I would make them a custom inventory system, on the server have a table with the player name as the key

local InventoryList = {}
-- Once a player has joined
local function initInventory(Player)
     InventoryList[Player] = {}
     -- Bind whatever function grants materials, then insert the ingredient to the players inventory. A seperate table for the actual crafting
end
