Editing Retooling (section)

==Rules==

When retooling, you must respect the essence of the craft. Changing a craft from iron to copper, for example, is forbidden.

Adding minor embellishments is allowed, as long as the material is realistic to have at hand for your character.  For example, if you make a desk, and you want to line the insides of it with cloth, make sure the cloth would be readily available and, if so, that is allowed. A polyester woven to look like satin makes sense given what materials we have on Artemis - a silk velvet would be probably impossible to justify without silkworms!

Changing the craft in its entirety is forbidden. You shouldn't retool a desk into a piano just because both are large items made of wood.

When retooling something, you must always consider if there are other crafts that fit your requirement and plan better. For example, instead of retooling a bed into a chaise lounge, you should use the sofa recipe. If you're not sure about your retool choice, it's okay to ask staff via a wish or ticket if you need guidance on the closest possible recipe.
