Crafting

== Crafting ==
All Basic crafting recipes are available from the start, including cooking recipes. Further recipes are unlocked by using Recipe Books. Use this to your advantage to get access to good equipment! Be sure to disassemble everything you find and to save some space in your backpack. Keep the textiles you find to craft a new backpack. (Late Game) You'll need to farm monolith exos to get special exo batteries crafting recipes. 
== Inventory Management ==
Inventory management is easy, just clean your inventory from the unnecessary mess, and store them in a stash in your faction base. 
Shift-Click while moving your cursor in your inventory will transfer the whole stack of items you are pointing at. That way you can easily store all your disassembled parts in your stash and vice versa by holding shift while moving your cursor on items stacks. Shift+T will Take All.
Mutant parts and meat don't weight much and are on high demand by stalkers : keep all of them in your inventory all the time, this will give you goodwill and stashes easily
Crafting tools don't weigh much, you can right click "use" them to open the crafting and repair menu just like a vice. That's a good way to craft what you need on the go.
Ammunition can be quite heavy if you carry too much, but disassembled ammo parts are very lightweight: keep these parts and craft ammo on the go with your gunsmith toolkit. Be sure to disassemble all unnecessary ammo.
You can Right Click and select items as "Favorite" and others as "Junk". This will give you an easy access to the important items that will always be on the top of every inventory containers. It's the opposite for junk: it will always be at the bottom of inventory. 
You don't need every medical item to heal your body. Mark the most important ones as favorite for an easy access.Water bottle's are much better weight-wise than cantines to quench your thirst but to each their own and both are suited to different kits.
Parts, Textiles and other things are used to craft, repair and upgrade.
