Crafting

Crafting allows the player to combine or transform items in their inventory to create new items. The component items are destroyed. Depending on the item being crafted, the PC may also be required to have a particular non-consumable item in their inventory (i.e., a tool), or to be near an appropriate location (called a crafting station).

The recipes available to the player, the chance of success, and the quality of the resulting item may depend on the player's progress through a tech tree, the PC's relevant stats, the quality of the component items, or other factors.

Crafting mechanics are common in role-playing games (and games with RPG elements) and survival/exploration games.
