The Manufacturing system is now basically working.
I am quite pleased with the result. The gui interface is quite simple, but it allows the player to see how many items of a given type are stored on the ship, and create/destroy these items (Using the ships energy reserves as a resource).
Players can also take items from the ships inventory and add them to their personal inventory, and then use them in the world. Once dropped in the world the items behave as any other persistent item, and are stored on the server, and saved/loaded etc.
In addition, these items can be viewed in the cargo bay in real time. As the player creates and destroys objects they appear on the shelves just in front of the player.
Likewise, as the player removes and replaces items from the ships inventory to their personal inventory these changes update in real time, which is a very realistic effect.
