Open the Main Menu and select the Bag icon.

Switch to Inventory tab, then select the Craft Button.
3 Choose the component that you want to craft. Make sure that you have sufficient materials to create this. Press on the Craft Button to create the component.

To begin crafting construction components, go to your Bag in the Main Menu and craft the item in the Inventory tab. You can select any of the available components on the list, provided that you have sufficient materials for these.

Activate Construction Mode

How to Remove Building Components

If you are using the PS5, press R3 to enter Recycle Mode. On the other hand, if you are using a keyboard and a mouse, press the R key or click on the Trash Can icon.

Go near the components that you placed to be given a Recycle prompt. This will remove the component from its position and return it to your Inventory.

Can You Build Bases Anywhere?

The only exceptions to this are specific locations where quests take place. You can check if you cannot build at a specific place if the notification "Current area not allowed for construction!"appears when placing a Cradle Blueprint.
