Getting Started
Overview of the crafting system, how to open the crafting table, and material types.
Overview
The Crafting Table lets you turn raw resources — fish, ores, plants, and generic items — into weapons, deployables, consumables, tools, and more. There are 29 recipes organised across 8 categories.
Every craft has a money cost based on the rarity of the ingredients used. Skills can reduce that cost and even give a chance to double your output for free.
Crafting requires you to stay within 200 units of a Crafting Table for the full duration of the craft. If you walk away too early, your materials are automatically returned.

Opening the Crafting Table
Finding the Table
The Crafting Table is a dark industrial desk entity placed somewhere on the map. Look for the Crafting Table prop — it uses a control-room desk model.
Opening the Menu
Stand next to a Crafting Table and press E (Use) to open the crafting menu.
The UI
Clicking any recipe shows:
- Every required material and how many you currently have
- The total money cost for the craft
- A Craft button (greyed out if you are missing anything)
Materials you are short on are highlighted so you can see exactly what to gather before crafting.
