Handcraft

Standing at a university construction site and about to make some lumber.

Hand crafting is used to quickly craft basic tools and items while in the wild.

For a list of what can be hand crafted, see the Hand Craftables category.

Hand Crafting

Hand crafting can done anywhere using the Labor (F10) window's Hand Craft tab.

The dropdown-box contains all recipes available for hand crafting. Some items may have multiple entries if it can be made using different components. For example: Hammers can be made using log, lumber or stone.

The first box lists all the components that will be consumed when crafting the item, the second box list all the tools that are required. All components and tools must be present in the inventory. Tools do take durability damage when used.

The "Make" button will be grayed out if any components or tools are missing.

Factory Crafting

While standing on the plot of a factory building, it is possible to hand craft any item the factory can manufacture. All recipes cost ten times less than when produced by the factory. The only real limit on what can and cannot be made this way, is a question of rather or not all the components can fit in the inventory together.

All crafting recipes only produce one of the item. This includes minting cronodollars, only 1¢.
