Tools make travel through the cave layers more efficient. The demo includes robust crafting mechanics and, according to its Steam listing, around 300 items to find. Exact recipes vary by build, so this guide focuses on deciding what to make and when.
Choose a purpose first
- Safety: prioritize whatever the current run needs to handle immediate terrain and hostile environments.
- Medical reserve: keep materials for dressings and wound care before spending everything on convenience.
- Exploration: craft tools that help you reach and inspect new areas only when the trip remains survivable.
Check the cost of each craft
Compare the input materials with the risk ahead. An item that saves time may not be worth consuming the last resource you need for treatment. Inspect the in-game crafting interface for current requirements rather than relying on an old recipe list. Character Intelligence, Strength, and Resilience can increase during a run, so your options may change as you progress.
Scavenge deliberately
Earlier expeditions leave loot behind, while the planet’s flora can yield patching resources. Neither is automatically safe. Check your condition, inventory, and nearby threats before reaching for a promising item. Pair this page with the first descent guide.
