Workshop (no ontology)
From Mazeworld
A workshop is a business in Mazeworld specialized in buying and selling all items related to crafting. People in charge of workshops are called engineers.
Engineers are not simply workshop owners, but are people charged of various other tasks in the Mazes as they can notably be found in electrical rooms, watching over the power controls and ensuring the well-being and proper functioning of machinery, factory lines and anything else requiring power in the Mazes.
Being bright minds, engineers are supervising and undertaking various tasks, including but not limited to:
- Crafting objects and managing crafting materials as well as blueprints
- Supervising mass-producing factory lines, as they are used to create and stock the majority of items and weapons found in the Mazes
- Assisting scientists in devising experimental machinery or contraptions according to their needs or requests, if applicable
- Running workshops which are used to produce and sell crafting material, encouraging citizens to create objects by themselves instead of buying them
An engineer outside of his or her workshop does not sell crafting materials.
Typically, an engineer is paid 145 P$/day for their work, plus any earnings obtained from a workshop if they work in one.
Rules of a workshop
- Sells 8 random blueprints
- Sells toolkits and crafting materials
- Only sells one exemplary of every blueprint displayed.
- Buys back blueprints and crafting materials for 50% of their value.
- Accepts credit.
- Accepts valuables and will exchange them for money or credit.
- For three blueprints bought, the fourth is free
When threatened in his or her workshop, the engineer will activate a door lock system, barricading himself/herself with the contestant and only allowing people to enter the room, but not leave it. This allows for Guards to barge in more easily and prevent the contestant from escaping, until he/she pays.
If the engineer is killed in action in his or her workshop, the contestant will not be able to use ANY workshop in the game anymore, will be hated by all other engineers not working in workshops (they become hostile), and any subsequent room in which a workshop was meant to be found will be instead considered a crime scene guarded by Maze Guards.
Threatening or attacking an engineer gives the contestant a code orange, and killing one instantly increases it to a code red.
If the engineer is threatened or attacked OUTSIDE of the workshop, he or she is on his/her own and will defend himself/herself unarmed, although they may gladly pick up any weapons lying around if any are available.
If the engineer dies, he/she will drop the following:
- Level 3 toolkit for workshop engineers
- Level 1 toolkit for electrical room engineers
- His/her clothes: An engineer's hard hat, a shirt with tie, jeans and steel-toe safety boots
- A big purse
- All the toolkits, blueprints and materials of the shop, as well as the shop's till, are locked in the crate they came from, and so permanently.
