Crafting is the process of combining components to create more useful items.

Interface

Crafting is accessed by opening your character menu and either clicking the crafting tab or pressing 2. The right-hand side of the screen is the Crafting List section, and contains the various crafting recipes. The left-hand side of the screen is the Crafting Recipe section, and shows the items required for the selected recipe, items the crafted item can be used with, and items in your inventory or the vicinity, highlighted in red if they can be used in this recipe.

List

The list section on the right shows all available recipes, with colored stripes overlaid on them.

No stripes means you can craft an item
Yellow stripes means that you have some of the items required
Red stripes means that you have none of the items required
Black stripes means that your Intelligence is not high enough to craft the item

Select any recipe here to have it show up in the Recipe section on the left.

Recipe

The Recipe section on the left shows, from top to bottom, the item, the components required to craft it, items that the crafted product can be used on, items in your inventory, and items in your vicinity.

Components have several symbols overlaid on top of them:

In the top right is the quantity of the item needed
In the bottom center are arrows that you can click through to see alternate items that you can use in the recipe
In the bottom left is a number with a green or teal jagged quarter circle or a hammer. This number is the position in the recipe and can be ignored, but the symbol on top of it matters.
- Green means the item is mandatory
- Teal means the item is optional, such as Sea Salt in the Sausages recipe
- Hammer means the item is a tool and is not consumed in the crafting process, but it will lose some durability

Below this, your inventory and vicinity items will be shown, with items that will be used in the crafting highlighted in red. You may notice some items in your inventory are not completely grayed out, and you can click on these to select/unselect which items to use.
