Showing 90 of 113 crafting items.

Components are currency

Components and resources are what your recipes consume, so they are worth more than finished junk. The group column shows whether an item is a raw resource or a refined component; the price column shows its trader value.

What to build

Build the items that advance your base and gear — forge upgrades, ammo, medical — before luxury crafts, and prioritise the categories you actually consume.

Frequently asked questions

How many crafting items are listed?

The dataset flags 113 items as components, resources or recipes by their group.

What should I stockpile?

Stockpile components and resources your recipes consume most — forge parts, ammo casings, medical supplies — and trade the rest.

Does price equal crafting value?

Price reflects trader value, which usually tracks crafting value. The group and category columns show the item real role.

How many crafting items are covered on this page?

This reference is built from **90** of the 113 crafting items taken straight from the game data, so every row above is sourced rather than estimated.
