This page covers station roles and material lookup. It does not claim to contain a complete, tested recipe database.
Read a recipe before collecting
Pick the item you need in the crafting menu and note its station, ingredients and quantities. Keep a short shopping list for the next supply run instead of collecting every component you see.
NoteUse the item reference to identify a material by name or ID. Numeric IDs are reference data, not a guarantee that a material is easy to find.
Build around your stations
The developer’s game description identifies workbenches for tools and essentials, a lathe for parts, pharmaceutical production and chemical production for supplies such as fuel and explosives.
NotePlace storage so that you can find the ingredients for a station without reorganizing your entire backpack.
Check power and output
Powered production depends on the supply available to it. Official patch 1.0.15 changes Electric Furnace speed when power is insufficient and adds power status to its panel.
NoteIf production stalls, check the station panel, output space and power status before spending more materials.
Use current recipe rules
Patch 1.0.13 changed recipes that required Contaminated Water to accept Water. The notes say both clean and contaminated water work, with contaminated water used first.
NoteOlder recipe screenshots may no longer match the ingredient labels. Read your installed game’s current recipe before crafting.
