1 - Sources of Items

There are multiple sources of items in-game, though they can be broadly split into 3 distinct categories:

1.1 - Acquisition Mechanics

1.1.1 - Looting

Looting involves the player obtaining items through an interaction with an actor that can provide a UI. Looting relies on 2 things:

Once these elements have been set up, the process of Looting a target follows these steps:

1. Calculation
   The game calculates the loot based on the target's loot table and the PC's Looting level. These items are added to the Loot Inventory.
2. Display
   The Loot UI and the PC's Inventory UI are both displayed.
3. Transfer
   The player moves items from the Loot Inventory to the PC's Inventory. The opposite can also be done.
4. Completion
   When the player is done, the UI can be closed. If there are still items left within the Loot Inventory, then the actor can persist. Otherwise, depending on type, it can be made to instantly de-spawn.

1.1.2 - Foraging

Foraging refers to the act of acquiring items from primarily plant-based sources. Forageable actors contain a custom component, responsible for handling all foraging related elements.
