This is a repost of my suggestion, as the topic thingy I put it into got thrown to rejected because of duplicate thread thingy whatever blah.
Okay, I believe I have a pretty good way for people to be able to invent things...
We start be creating a new skill: invention. Meaning, you get awkward-expert for this. Then, we create a new item in each catagory of thing (i.e. weapons, buildings, etc.) called "Prototype." This brings up a menu sort of like what you see when you start a project to make one material into another (i.e. hematite -> iron ore). Here, you can apply a certain amount of certain types of materials, and it will automatically assign a time it takes to complete the project and what tools are needed to make it based on amount of materials used, but it does NOT yet tell you how powerful/useful this weapon or whatever is. Also, you name the new item. After you complete the project, you get two items; 1) what you created, and 2) the blueprints to it. You can now experiment with the item to find out how well it performs. The performance level will depend on your inventing skill, and the amount/type of materials used. With the blueprints, others can replicate your new unique item. There would just be a button next to the blueprints that starts the project. But do not confuse the blueprints with regular notes... blueprints cannot be modified, but you can add notes to them (like how well the item performs) as a sort of footnote to it.
This, however, would not work with clothes... about that, you guys figure it out.

All of my endings are waiting to begin.
