Crafting items is extremely easy. All you need is the right items. First off, while you are ingame, some items will require a workbench to make. If you do need one, you will either have to find one around the world, or craft one. For the recipes that do need one, you will need to walk up next to it and hit Tab on your keyboard. Soon though, you will have to acually interact with the workbench, but not as of right now. If the recipe doesn't require a workbench, you can just hit tab anywhere in the world.


When you do this, it will bring you to your Character Loadout, or your inventory. Next, you need to go into your Discovery tab, next to where it says Character Loadout as shown in the picture below. In the Discover tab, you will put items into the boxes and it will unlock a recipe. Lets say that you have some scraps of cloth and some wooden sticks. If you put the scraps of cloth in one box, and the wooden sticks in another and hit Discover. It will show you one of the recipes you can make with those items. Sometimes, there are multiple different recipes that all use the same items, so you might be able to put the scraps of cloth and wooden sticks in a few times and hit Discover and it will unlock a new recipe each time. This is all shown in the picture below aswell.


Lastly, once you've discovered a new recipe, you can go into the crafting tab, as shows in the next picture down. This is where you can see all the recipes you've unlocked so far. It will also fill each bar with green depending on how close you are to having all the items needed to make it. For example, if you need 2 Wooden Logs for a campfire and you only have one, the bar will be filled halfway with green. PRO TIP: You can craft with items that are on the ground, but still in your 'Proximity Items' tab! Once you have collected all the materials needed to make an item, the bar will be filled with green and you can click Craft to create it, as shown in the picture below.


Now that you know how to craft the items, here are the materials you need to make them. If you discover an item thats NOT on the list, please comment and I will add it!
