CRAFTING

Turn scrap into survival. Workbenches required.

HOW CRAFTING WORKS

Crafting requires a workbench — found in workshop rooms across the city. Iron Bloom, the Industrial District, and Maintenance Tunnels have the most.

You need the right components in your inventory and enough CREDS or SCRIP for the crafting cost. Recipes are learned through exploration and NPC interaction.
