Almost everything is editable from the Settings tab in the in-game creator panel, which rewrites settings/general.lua on save. You can also edit the file by hand — both work.

​
settings/general.lua

The whole config is one big table at nexCrafting.Defaults. The headline knobs:

​
Commands

settings.commands = {
    creator = "craftpanel",
    creatorAlias = "crp",
}

​
Interaction

settings.interaction = {
    drawDistance = 10,
    interactionDistance = 2,
    interactionKey = 38,        -- E
    markerColor = { 255, 255, 255, 100 },
    markerSize = { 1, 1, 0.5 },
    markerType = 27,
    useMarker = true,
    useTarget = true,           -- ox_target if available
}

​
Crafting

settings.crafting = {
    animations = {
        crafting = { dict = "mini@repair", anim = "fixing_a_player", duration = 5000 },
    },
    skillCheck = { enabled = true, difficulty = "easy", inputs = { "w","a","s","d" } },
    failureSystem = {
        enabled = false,
        baseFailChance = 10,            -- %
        failChanceReduction = 0.5,      -- per level
        loseItemsOnFail = true,
        losePercentOnFail = 50,
    },
    xpSystem = {
        enabled = false,
        maxLevel = 100,
        xpPerCraft = 10,
        xpPerLevel = 100,
        xpBonusOnLevelUp = 50,
    },
    sounds = { craftStart = {...}, craftSuccess = {...}, craftFail = {...} },
}

​
Blips

settings.blips = {
    enabled = false,
    crafting = { sprite = 566, color = 2, scale = 0.7, display = 4 },
}

​
Permissions

settings.permissions = {
    creatorAccess = {
        useAcePermission = true,
        acePermission = "nex.crafting.creator",
        useFrameworkGroup = true,
        frameworkGroups = { "admin", "superadmin", "god" },
    },
}
A player passes if either check passes.

​
ox_inventory

settings.oxInventory = {
    imagePath = "nui://ox_inventory/web/images/",
    benchStash = { enabled = false, slots = 10, weight = 50000 },
}
benchStash.enabled = true gives every bench its own ox_inventory stash — handy for shared materials.

​
settings/discord.lua

Only needed if you want to gate any bench by Discord role. 
Config.Discord = {
    botToken = "",
    serverId = "",
    adminRoles = { "1234567890123456789" },
}
The bot needs the GUILD_MEMBERS privileged intent.

​
Bench types & prop models

Defined in nexCrafting.Defaults.benchTypes and nexCrafting.Defaults.propModels. Six props ship by default (workbench, table, medical bench, wheel bench, and two DLC benches). Add your own by adding an entry — give it a label, model name, image URL, and offset.

​
Locales

Strings live in locales/*.lua and in nexCrafting.Defaults.locale. Copy locales/en.lua to a new file (e.g. de.lua), translate it, and the script loads it automatically based on your ox_lib locale.

​
Bench & recipe data

Bench coordinates, access rules, recipe groups, recipes, and ingredients all live in MySQL and are managed entirely from the Creator panel. You don’t edit them in config.lua.
