So idea is to add at least two craftable items: "CAD computer" object which allow player to create a low-poly object in mini-game
and "mold machine" object which can create metal representation of created model.
Game consoles players will not have access to tools for creating mods, and it looks like lore-friendly way to give them a way to create objects of any shape they want.
