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.
