List of Contents
Recipes are essentially which ingredients you need in order to craft a certain type of item. Recipes can be used to craft a wide array of items, like Health Kits, Molotovs, and even Arrows.
In order to use a recipe, you'll need the ingredients that are required to make the item. These ingredients are found scattered throughout the areas you explore, and can even be picked up off of fallen enemies.
Recipes can be accessed by pressing the Touchpad and opening up the crafting menu. Here you can see a list of all the tools and weapons that you can craft with the ingredients you have with you.
To unlock a recipe, you must first pick up the tool or weapon for the first time to learn its components. Once you have them in your inventory, you will be able to craft them as long as you have the correct materials. For the most part, you will learn these automatically as you progress, although a few are unlocked via other methods (such as Player Upgrades, etc.)
Unlocking all recipes and crafting all items is required to get the following trophy.

Whenever you reach the maximum capacity of a material, you won't be able to pick them up when you find more on the ground. Be sure to check if you can craft any tool or weapon from the crafting menu that uses said ingredient, use it, and pick up the one you found. This is a simple trick to manage your resources and maximize the tools you get to survive.
