Crafting & Cooking
Database-driven recipes, reusable tools, physical ingredients and timed fire cooking.
Current build screenshotCrafting categories, recipe list, material requirements and relevant inventory in the current UI.
Core rules
- Ingredients are exact physical items and are consumed only when work succeeds.
- Reusable tools satisfy a capability requirement and remain physical items.
- A Safe House Workshop can satisfy reusable-tool requirements using tools installed at that exact Workbench.
- Cooking recipes can require a burning fire, sufficient heat, measured water, cookware capabilities and survivor-authorised recipe Knowledge.
- Common-sense recipes do not automatically require a learned recipe entry; learned recipes remain mortal Knowledge.

Construction outside the item recipe list
Some construction belongs to Sites rather than portable item crafting. For example, the current Raised Camp Bed consumes 6 Wood Scrap + 2 Nails, requires a reusable Hammer and costs 4 base AP. It becomes persistent Camp infrastructure rather than a carried item.
