Overview[]
Crafting is a menu in The Long Dark found within the Survival Menu. It can be accessed by the default hotkey "K" or from the hammer and anvil icon at the top of the game menu.
On the left of the screen are tabs that allow you to view blueprints by category. By default it will show All blueprints, but they can be filtered to only show:
Below the blueprints are 6 submenus allowing you to filter for specific creation methods for items. By default it will show All blueprint creation methods but can be changed to only show items that can be crafted at:
- Anywhere (shows only items that can be crafted anywhere)
- Work Bench
- Forge
- Ammunition Work Bench
- Active Fire
- Furniture Workbench
Blueprint Availability[]
Some items in Wintermute Episodes require finding their blueprints in order to craft, and are usually unlocked when progressing through the story and completing side missions. Other Blueprints are not available in Wintermute at all.
Survival Mode has all blueprints unlocked from the start except for the Noisemaker blueprint, which is unlocked when one is found in game.
List of Blueprints[]
Crafting duration times varies widely depending some factors:
- Some items can be crafted faster at a Work Bench by using Simple Tools or Quality Tools.
- Using a more refined version of a tool i.e. Hunting Knife/Sewing Kit vs Improvised Knife/Fishing Tackle will get crafting done much faster - providing up to a 50% time discount.
