Crafting
So, uh... is the crafting square messed up, or do we just not know how to craft these things yet? Cobalt32 18:35, 7 December 2012 (UTC)


 * I personally do not know how to craft it, and I set the page up, if you do, I can put it in. Cultist O 18:36, 7 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Ah. I didn't know how to craft it either; I was just wondering why the grid was blank. Cobalt32 18:38, 7 December 2012 (UTC)


 * K, well it's a shapeless recipe of gunpowder, dye, and special effect modifiers (SEM optional) not sure how many SEMs you can have though, or how to depict that. Also you can have any number of dyes, so long as there is at least one, much like dying armour. Cultist O 18:47, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

What's the data value?
Data value is missing... Cultist O 19:29, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Just did some experimenting. It's 402, right after firework rocket (401). --Kahless61 22:19, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Recipe
The recipe visual is a little confusing. You only need one dye and a gunpowder to make it, but the recipe could make someone glance at it and think you need 8 dyes. --Kahless61 19:41, 7 December 2012 (UTC)


 * I agree, there must be a better way of displaying that, though the armour page doesn't bother to show dying leather armour. Cultist O 19:47, 7 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Also isn't the star shapeless to create and fade? Cultist O 20:10, 7 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Fixed --Kahless61 20:19, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

"Multiple Firework Stars can be crafted with Firework Rocket for multiple types of explosion." This statement is unclear. I believe it's talking about how you can put multiple stars into the rocket recipe (you cannot craft them WITH the rocket, however). The result will be all of the stars effects going off when the rocket explodes (I guess that could be interpreted as "multiple types of explosion" but I'd probably phrase it some other way). Anyone want to clean this up? I'm not very good at phrasing things. --Kahless61 21:09, 7 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Having not actually tested anything I'm sort of going off what it seems like they meant, but how's that for wording? Cultist O 21:41, 7 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Perfect. I've been doing testing. That's exactly the way it works. Thanks. --Kahless61 21:43, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Diamonds??
That had better be some trail... --Mental Mouse 03:13, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

Possible Combinations
Not sure if anyone is interested in how many possible combinations there are for making fireworks, but being a math junky, I decided to figure it out, and although there were probably some redundancies in my math, I'm quite sure I'm correct or at least very close.

My calculations take into account:

On Firework Stars: leaving blank slots, all 16 colors, all 5 shapes, and the 2 effects.

On Firework Rockets: all the above with the addition of the 3 flight times.

Possible Firework Stars: 2,035,138,560 (2.0 * 109, 2 billion)

Possible Firework Rockets: 144,596,532,472,853,875,918,507,017,587,300, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (1.4 * 1065, 145 vigintillion) 199.187.203.27 00:36, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
