Crafting is a confirmed survival tool
The Steam description explicitly lists crafting among the systems Marcus can use to break through enemies. That makes crafting most valuable when it answers a current need: readiness, recovery, or a safer next route.
Avoid recipe folklore
This site does not publish unverified recipes or resource requirements. Read item descriptions in-game, compare the immediate benefit with the cost, and keep enough flexibility to adapt if a route changes.
Pair crafting with exploration
Use each return from Jericho to review what limited progress: supplies, equipment, or a combat approach. Craft around that observed problem rather than trying to fill every slot at once.
Q: Are recipes listed here?
No. Check current recipes in-game.
