Crafting (mechanic)

**Crafting** is the primary way to obtain different materials and items to progress in CryoFall. Crafting converts raw materials or other crafted components into Weapons, Tools, Armor, Seeds, Food, Ammo, Medicine, and more. Some basic materials such as Rope and stone tools can be produced without a crafting station. Crafting of more complex items is initiated at the appropriate crafting station. New crafting stations and recipes are unlocked through the research of Technology.

There are currently the following crafting stations in the game: the basic Workbench, Chemical Laboratory, Medical Laboratory, Cooking Table, Farming Workbench, Weapon Workbench, and Armorer Workbench. Performing any crafting at these crafting stations will contribute EXP to the Crafting skill.

To start the crafting process, the Player must have all required materials in their inventory and interact with the appropriate crafting station. If requirements are met, the item icon in the crafting menu turns blue. The player can select how many of the items they want to craft. When crafting starts, all required materials are removed from the inventory and the finished products are placed in the inventory as they are completed. A crafting queue is displayed on the left hand side of the screen. Items in the queue can be reordered or deleted if needed. More complex items require longer to craft, but the player can move away from the crafting station and carry out other tasks while this happens. A player's crafting queue will continue to process, even while offline.

# Resource Acquisition

Many Resources used in crafting are acquired through hunting, foraging, farming, prospecting, and fishing.

Additionally, there are a variety of Buildings for extraction and processing of materials. The Cooking Stove and Electric Cooking Stove are used for preparing cooked foods. The Furnace and Electric Furnace convert raw ores to refined metals, as well as produce Dry Cement Mix and Raw Glass. Basic and Advanced Oil Pumps, and basic and Advanced Lithium Salts Extractors, extract unrefined petroleum and Lithium Salts. The Oil Refinery and Oil Cracking Plant refine petroleum and mineral oil into gasoline. The Mineral Processing Plant processes raw ores into concentrated ores, improving efficiency of iron and copper production.
