Crafting Components

## Overview

Crafting components are raw materials or any other items that can be used to create or modify other items via crafting.

#### **Crafting materials vs. Crafting components:**

Some components for craftable recipes are just raw materials or junk items that have no other use than for crafting, but some components are other items that may already be useful by themselves. An example is: some metal scraps are junk items - they may not be useful by themselves, but they can be combined with a 2x4 to create a deadlier weapon. The 2x4, on the other hand, already has a use as a melee weapon or barricading material.

Crafting components (usually junk items) that do not have other uses are simply called **crafting materials** and will be found in the **crafting materials** section of the inventory. Anything else that can be used as a crafting component may have another use and will most likely be found in a different section of the inventory.

#### **"Amount left" value:**

Some items have an "amount left" value, shown as a percentage in the inventory menu, when that item is viewed or selected. These items are not always consumed after a recipe has been made, when the recipe only requires a certain amount of that item. For example, a given recipe may only require 25% of a roll of duct tape. A roll of duct tape with a 75% "amount left" value being used for this recipe will have a value of 50% when the recipe has been made, and the entire item of duct tape won't be consumed.
