Design-It-Yourself Equipment	comment	Item Crafting weaponized. In many video games, you often are tasked with completing given objectives with the tools, equipment, units, or vehicles that are given to you by the game's designers. Often this can be an inflexible situation. Not so much with DIY, or Design-It-Yourself Equipment, as the game designers give you, the player, the power and ability to craft your own instruments of destruction, typically with some form of in-game editor. Generally, any game that allows (or in some cases, requires) you to create your own tools for your use in the game environment falls under this trope. Used frequently in serious racing Sims, Real Time Strategy, First Person Shooters, and many other genres, and ranges from purely cosmetic design choices (such as different custom paint-jobs on a vehicle) to customization of existing items, to being a critical and integral part of gameplay with designing equipment from scratch. Depending on how well it is implemented into the game, It can be a unique and refreshing way of playing the game. Done poorly, and it may result in an utter Game-Breaker. Or a Scrappy Mechanic, if the usefulness of the custom equipment falls too far on the other end of the spectrum. Not to be confused with An Interior Designer Is You. That deals with designing interiors or the insides of rooms. See also Item Crafting (which allows the player to make their own gear, but doesn't always let them customise it), Randomly Generated Loot (when the game decides on the player's equipment's stats at random), and Spell Crafting (a similar trope about magic instead of items).

Most 4X games have you research a unit's model (or base type) and leave it at that. Here, the model is only the beginning - every single piece of a unit's equipment can be independently researched, too.

This is a way to edit an item in a purely cosmetic fashion, letting a player essentially choose their own look and not have to change it whenever they get new gear. This was mostly done to prevent players from having to deal with Rainbow Pimp Gear to have the best stats.

Design-It-Yourself Equipment / int_14d341dc	comment	Star Trek Online does this in two ways: Player characters can equip kits that provide powers in ground combat in addition to what they learn by leveling up. Prior to Season 9 (2014), kit powers were only available in pre-made sets, such as the Engineer's Bunker Fabrication Kit that included a deployable turret and generators to heal allies within a certain area. Post-Season 9, kits are assembled by slotting modules into a frame, allowing players to select their own mix of ground powers. Each class has its own set of available powers and cannot equip modules or frames intended for another class. Ships can be "kitbashed" at shipyards, assembling a unique vessel using parts (saucer, nacelles, etc.) from a family of related ship classes. This is purely visual and adds a lot of variety to what you see flying around.

Design-It-Yourself Equipment / int_1773eb11	comment	Star Ruler has this for starship design. Players first set the scale of the ship (anywhere from the size of a Coke can to larger than the galaxy), then the player begins by placing a type of hull (carrier, light, heavy, etc), power plants, thrusters, weapons, armor, shields, control systems, and support equipment (such as mining lasers, repair lasers, stealth fields, etc) to the ship's design grid. Finally, the player can set default AI behaviors for the ship, such as target preferences. How many objects, their relative complexity, and the size of the ship determine how many resources are needed to build the ship. Star Ruler 2 replaces the somewhat esoteric circular design grid with the ship's actual cross-sectional blueprint, and allows players to designate firing arcs.

Different modules and weapon systems can be installed with different abilities, such as siege weapons for slow but guaranteed planetary capture, bomber storage to directly attack enemy population and infrastructure, or troop modules to directly invade and take over system in one turn with enough force. A similar variant appears in Endless Legend, albeit for troops rather than spaceships; different types of weapons, armor, and trinkets modify the unit's stats and sometimes its abilities.

A cruiser with a time-travelling particle beam, a radar facility and the ability to double as police in any harbor it enters? An espionage capable tank with drop pods, armor made from spider-silk woven steel, and extra resistance to hacking? A buggy-mounted artillery piece that launches fungal spores on enemies, with resonating armor made from alien technology and a built-in teleporter? How about a hovering fighter with psychic armor that launches psychic attacks and is extra-resistant to wildlife? In short, if you could imagine it, in SMAC you could build it. Of course custom units do cost more credits to build, and if you really go wild you'll end up with something that can take your faction's entire income to build just one of.

Design-It-Yourself Equipment / int_3cf15492	comment	MechWarrior: The series, set in the BattleTech universe, traditionally features the MechLab which allows one to customize their Humongous Mecha's weapon loadout, armor, fusion reactor, and equipment such as a Jump Jet Pack. The implementation of it varies heavily by game: Mechwarrior 2 and 3's mechlabs were ripped straight from BattleTech and had absolutely no limits besides tonnage and pod space, relying instead on the player's common sense to fit weapons according to mount type. Unfortunately, Min-Maxing your Mech to its maximum killing efficiency usually implied ignoring any semblance of common sense, which resulted in cannon hardpoints firing missiles, missile racks firing lasers, laser arms firing flamers and even hilarious setups like cockpit canopies and legs used as weapon hardpoints — firing whatever you'd mounted there from the knees. Mechwarrior 4 switched to a more abstracted system which removed pod space in favor of unique equipment and different amount of weapon slots (universal, or specialized ballistic, missile, or energy) on the mechs. A 'Raven' scout mech could equip a huge variety of sensors but lacked weapon space, while an 'Argus' had tons of ballistic and missile slots but almost no electronics. Mechwarrior Living Legends never got the Mechlab implemented thanks to legal issues, but design documents showed that it would have worked fairly similarly to Mechwarrior 4, albeit with fixed engine ratings per chassis and customizable weapon pods plus the obvious addition of player-usable tanks, aerospace fighters and helicopters. Mechwarrior Online uses a modified BattleTech system, with mechs having a limited number of weapon slots per section and equipment like electronic countermeasures limited to certain mech variants. Variants have "quirks" that benefit certain stats such as weapon refire rate or acceleration. The Battletech 2018 video game took its system from Mechwarrior Online, with the addition of adding a fourth weapon type slot for support weapons (small weapons normally used in an anti-personnel role such as flamethrowers and machine guns—lacking infantry, the game instead allows these weapons to be fired alongside a melee attack for extra damage.

There are 37 vehicle bodies (22 karts, 6 outside drifting bikes, 5 inside drifting bikes, 4 AT Vs), 21 sets of tires, and 14 gliders available for usage. The math means that there's 10,878 possible combinations of vehicle, tires and glider. It is impossible for a combination to have any stat less than 1 or greater than 5.75. Furthermore, the vehicles are not weight-class restricted, so any character can get any vehicle.

This is extremely important because the weapon held was the only thing determining the nameless samurai's attack and defense levels. A wide variety of blades, grips, hilts, and pommels were available to mix and match. Some were obvious sets designed to go together (such as the 'Shark' prefix-set of 3), while others were simply individual parts which could be put together on the player's whim. Also notable for allowing players to also choose the special attacks in their sword by determining its stance, then using a Point Buy system to allocate any skills learned from weapons with that particular stance. Combining parts with regards only for stats sometimes made high-power weapons into the swordsmithing equivalent of Rainbow Pimp Gear.

Modding is an essential skill to Warframe, because it allows players to adapt their loadout to the many, many situations they would find themselves in, or turn a mediocre weapon into a high-power death machine.

There are four base elemental damage types (Heat, Cold, Electricity, and Toxin) and placing two mods of certain combinations in a weapon creates secondary elemental damage types (Gas, Radiation, Magnetic, and Corrosion). This also works if the weapon has an elemental type as a base damage, meaning that adding a single elemental mod can turn a flamethrower (base heat damage) into a strange hybrid weapon that sprays out corrosive acid or radioactive fallout. Actual weapon building was introduced with the Plains of Eidolon, in the form of Zaws. The player can buy the plans for parts (strike, grip, and link) to be forged together by the craftsman Hok. Optimized Zaws are often compared to or exceed the damage output of comparable Prime Weapons. A ranged weapon equivalent, Kitguns, were introduced in the Fortuna update, featuring similar mechanics.

Design-It-Yourself Equipment / int_5d96b889	comment	Mario Kart Mario Kart 7: In addition to bringing back the coins from Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart: Super Circuit, the game introduces gliders, and underwater driving, introduces the option to personalize the player's vehicle, even more so than Mario Kart DS (where each driver had a standard kart plus a unique kart) or Mario Kart Wii (where each weight class had its own set of bikes and karts). The player can select the kart body, the tires, and the glider to build the desired kart. By collecting many coins from the races in Grand Prix mode, the player can unlock a new body, a new set of tires, or a new glider to use. It is possible to acquire a maximum of ten coins in a race. As the user chooses the parts, the stats may vary according to the parts' combination, and the vehicle will work better in particular situations. Mario Kart 8 continues where 7 left off, and has even more variety, especially if you have all of the DLC packages. There are 37 vehicle bodies (22 karts, 6 outside drifting bikes, 5 inside drifting bikes, 4 AT Vs), 21 sets of tires, and 14 gliders available for usage. The math means that there's 10,878 possible combinations of vehicle, tires and glider. It is impossible for a combination to have any stat less than 1 or greater than 5.75. Furthermore, the vehicles are not weight-class restricted, so any character can get any vehicle.

The Game Master is expected to come up with some outlandish materials and processes necessary to produce those items, and the players go adventuring to get what they needed. 3rd Edition has firm rules to estimate how much an item should cost to create based upon the effects you want it to have, since a certain value of magic equipment is taken into account as part of the power curve. Item creation is as a consequence no longer based around adventuring to get something made, but instead becomes a set of costs your character pays during a set period of downtime. Eberron: The Artificer class is focused around Item Crafting and encouraging players to come up with their own toys.

Design-It-Yourself Equipment / int_6c1d09b4	comment	Fallout 4 has an absurdly expansive customisation system for your weapons, armour, suit of power armour, and even your settlements. There are over 700 different mods to change the barrel, scope, ammo, grip or stock of around 50 or so base model guns. So, for instance, you can take a standard laser pistol and mod to become a variety of different weapon, including a full-blown rifle, a sniper rifle or a shotgun; or you can change a baseball bat so it has nails in it, or give it an aluminium body with a mahogany grip with circular sawblades on the end, along with other possibilities. This is taken into ridiculous extremes with pipe weapons, as you can pick up an unassuming pipe pistol at the start of the game and gradually mod it into a mutant-killing, bullet-spewing battle rifle. With the availability of a whole bunch of mods that greatly improve the amount of components you might well end up spending more time modifying weapons than actually using them to kill the aforementioned mutants.

There are 3 sizes of weapons hardpoints, a weapon must be the same size or smaller to fit, with smaller weapons than a hardpoint's size leading to multiple barrels, there are also specialized hardpoints such as for missiles (which also utilize the size system), drones, and beam weapons.

Any two OmniPods of the same weight are interchangeable and can be detatched and re-attached in a matter of hours, giving OmniMechs incredible flexibility and speed of repair: If a weapon in a pod is broken, the pod can be detatched and repaired without putting the whole 'mech in the shop.

Only then can you design components with those specific traits and stats. And finally you can start researching those components for use in ship design. To top it off, most components have selectable sizes, armor protection, and further traits such as sensor resolution and EMP resistance which makes every single designed component different from others of the same type. So players have to design and research multiple versions of active sensors, fire controls, energy weapons and missiles to fit on their ships to receive optimal performance. And that's not including engines, shields and other vital components. Player-designed fleets contains multiple types of ships, each ship being as complex as their closest real life counterparts.

Later iterations of the latter make it easier to be persistent until you get something you like, in a manner not entirely unlike Save Scumming with a materials cost. Probably the closest to this trope would be Alluvion Skirmish gear, which have three specific "slots" for augments which you can reroll one at a time until you get almost exactly the combination you want. Final Fantasy X does this with the Customization feature. You can put any abilities that you have the stuff for into the weapon or armor, unfortunately the better items are ridiculously rare Random Drops or available by bribing monsters that are beyond the Point of No Return. Making these is pretty much the only way to get some abilities, like Break Hit Point Limit or Break Damage Limit outside the Celestial Weapons. Fulfilling certain conditions grants you access to a merchant who sells equipment with four customization slots, allowing the player to go wild in designing their equipment (especially since there's no "Celestial Armor"-type equipment).

If you've got the gold for it, you can make some pretty insane weapons, like a Keen Flaming + 7 Longsword... that's still called a + 2 Longsword, because you can't change the names of the weapons. The game's built-in Level Editor takes it a step farther, allowing you to load up a character with custom-made Infinity Plus One equipment, then import that character into a normal game. Want a + 20 Flaming Frost Shocking Greatsword that casts Hellball with each hit? That'll teach those goblins in the tutorial level.

In 2150, this is restricted to choosing chassis, shields and weaponry. This trope comes to play in 2160 where, aside from these, you also get to customize the engine (fast engine for more speed, classic engine for balanced and powerful engine for boosted shield recharge) and the armor (classic against kinetic only, reflective against energy and kinetic, anti-chemical against acid and kinetic). Hull design is determined by armor type but for aircraft, engines are a factor toonote for example, the LC aircraft's speed engines have a green glow, classic engines have a purple glow and powerful engines look like old-school jet engines.

Design-It-Yourself Equipment / int_d500b17d	comment	Forza features extensive customization on its cars, both visually and mechanically: Mechanically, you can swap out engines, drivetrains, and in some cases engine aspiration, or simply upgrade the existing engine. You could take a classic Dodge Charger, cram in a V10 engine from a Dodge Viper, make it AWD and chase Lamborghinis around the Nordschleife. Once you've put on your upgrades, you can then tune the car, to alter its handling characteristics. One might make first gear longer to reach a higher top speed, or reduce it for break-neck acceleration, then tweak the differential to adjust how easily the tail slides out, then adjust the suspension and anti-roll bars to induce oversteer or understeer. Visually, you can give most of your cars aftermarket body kits (which often affect the performance, especially with spoilers. Most simply reduce the overall weight slightly), and in Forza Motorsport 4, you can give OEM body kits, such as swapping out the front end on a 1980s Porsche 911 Turbo with the front end from a standard Porsche 911, or give it the stripped down racing front end. Rims can be swapped out for hundreds of other rims (which affect the car's overall weight). The most notable feature of the customization, though, is the Vinyl Editor / Decal Editor, which allows you to place thousands of decals on your car to make liveries. A player might drive said Dodge Neon with a replica Martini livery, depict the Master Chief fighting Gordon Freeman, or simply have racing stripes or go-fast stickers.

Within each category there are a handful of options depending on the technology available. Some things are even more tweakable; particularly you can choose the caliber, number, and placement of primary and secondary guns and the thickness of armor for different sections of ship. This allows for some nice historical recreations but also allows for some ludicrous but entertaining designs that no sane naval architect would ever have proposed in real life.

For your empire you can choose their ethical values and their government form. You want to play as highly intelligent roaches that form a xenophile theocracy? Sure. Foxmen that live for centuries in a science focused military dictatorship? Why not? The empire customization is so extensive that you can spend hours painstakingly recreating your favorite sci-fi civilization and shaping how they would work within the game's mechanics, without even actually starting a game. And that's without Game Mods. You can customize your ships and space stations at will. You can first choose the parts that make up the ship/station. Then you can fill their weapon and utility slots with unlockable items, while keeping a positive power balance.

Through the Attachment system, you can craft different Attachments with specific Abilities, then mix and match Attachments on your weapons to get the best Abilities onto them. The fun part is that you equip Attachments by physically attaching them to the weapon through a menu that allows you to move and adjust the placement of your Attachments, and all Attachments appear in-game on your weapon's model. After an update to the Endgame+, you can now move Abilities across Attachments, allowing you to invoke a weapon version of Rainbow Pimp Gear. You can take a melee weapon such as Knuckles and equip to it a rifle scope, a cat face, and a ribbon, and it'll still roll over post-game content with the right Abilities.

Design-It-Yourself Equipment / int_fdc30f10	comment	Robot Arena: You must design a robot from scratch, using the parts provided by the game (like pistons and wheels and engines and of course various kinds of weaponry), paint it, decal it, and control it in a deathmatch with other robots. The trick of course was to keep the weight of the robot to a minimum, and also to make good use of the limited space inside the robot's chassis.
