The Base Crafting Menu

A combination of the current built-in crafting menu and some extra features, which adds some extra usage to some materials found in the wild. You are unlikely to even be using this menu since the starting towns exist, but I do have other plans for it in case that becomes a reality.

## Recipes (Terrestrial/Avian Playthroughs)

### Bone Daggers

Made from 2 Sticks/1 Shaft, 2 Sharp Teeth and 1 Primitive Rope. These function as your first daggers, your first crafting tool, and a really bad shovel that you are likely going to have to use. In case you don't have the handle materials, use the reversed order with the Bone Axe instead.

### Bone Axe

1 Shaft/2 Sticks/1 Bone, 1 Primitive Rope and 1 Bone. (The specific one is a shoulder blade though that detail is omitted). Functions as your... axe. You can process wood with axes. Should be your go-to piece of equipment since you can't always craft Bone Daggers.

### Primitive Rope

Extracting fiber from peeling 2 Sticks, 1 Palm Leaf or a Coconut will net you 2 pieces of Rope. These are thin ropes used to bind small things together, and can be used for a few niche utilities. The recipe is also featured in the normal Crafting Table in case you really need it.

### Fire Plough

I took this from the Minecraft Better Than Wolves mod, so 2 Sticks. I hope they don't mind. Used to light wooden things on fire either for warmth or crafting purposes, since I still kept some sort of temperature system in there. I'm not adding coal btw.

### Wooden Pickaxe

Process your Logs to get Shafts. Convert 3 Shafts into a your first Pickaxe. Note that the Bone Daggers are required, and you're gonna be fine. Congratulations, you can now mine Stone. Not the big bois but by not targetting them you're not actively trying to go for the 2 Pickaxes/3 Stones conversion.

### Campfire

Some Stone, some Sticks and a Fire Plough creates one functional campfire. While you don't need to eat or drink, the temperature does matter and you'll need something warm nearby unless you want to having a schedule of getting up in the midday. Some foods can be cooked too, though the use is questionable.

### Crafting Table

A full log and a full set of Bone Daggers. It's a sacrificial ritual here, you lose the knives. At least you just unlocked a major section of your technological progression! Use it wisely. You have not unlocked building equipment yet.

### Igloo

There are occasions in which you'll need this one. Besides it's just a bunch of snow, you can probably handle that well enough on your own if you so wish to turn it into a building. So... yeah, winter shelter. Yippie!

## Recipes (Aquatic/Abyssal Playthroughs)

These include early game replacement recipes for Aquatic/Abyssal gameplay due to them having different environmental properties, such as not giving access to Ropes or Wood, no fires, and more tech-heavy items. There is also the addition of Support Room Modules (Intended for terrestrial usage btw, fuck you) and Batteries.

Potassium Bits can be collected in a full 5 stack at a time with a short lifespan and there is no starter town. Good luck!

### Explosive Charges

Using soft metals you could collect with the Pointy Ribs (For example Potassium Bits) and covering them in some of your enemy's flesh (I'm so sorry but this is the best solution I could think of) in a ratio of 1:1 to create an Explosive Charge. You use these to get access to hardened resources for a lack of access of usable tools, though these kinda suck due to having varied damage.

### Stone Chisel

Since you can kind of explode things, you get access to Stone, Copper and Charged Iron. However, you can't use Copper without a way to smelt shit so craft this with 1 Stone first. The rib will not suffice for setting up infrastructure. You can refine certain items as well as getting Cables with this.

### Scale Armor

Stitch together 2 stacks of Scales to use as your first actual pressure dampener and method to not stay locked within a couple layers of generated terrain.

### Magnet

Chisel out Charged Iron (1:2 ratio) for the benefit of having the materials you'll need to set up a mining drill. Top priority is to make your life a little easier.

### Stone Oven

Loosely built with 5 Stones, it's a horrible method to smelt your items, but it's the only one you actually get. Be glad there is some arcane stuff down there that could provide you with a space to use the equipment in the first place. Load it up with ore and some Potassium and you get yourself some Copper, starting your actual technological progression.

### Grindstone

Chisel out a stone surface to create a Grindstone you cannot move. This block allows you to create better mechanical parts for more sophisticated projects.
