Rope, Batteries and Scrap Metal in Casualties: Unknown

The early bag recipe

The crafting guide describes making rope and canvas from foliage and then combining them into a foliage bag. A field guide states the requirement as one rope plus two canvas at INT 5, which matches the recipe note that the bag needs one rope and two canvas. Craft the intermediate items as you harvest rather than carrying raw leaves; a 1.0 recording shows a player doing exactly that while gathering rope for a pouch. Containers matter early because they change how much you can bring back to the layer transition.

Item condition is a real gate

Recipes do not only check that you have the right item, they can check its condition. The flimsy knife is the example in the crafting guide: low-condition scrap metal does not meet its listed requirement. The same guide lists scrap metal among the properties that intermediate ingredients must satisfy. Before crafting, check the condition of what a recipe is about to consume — especially if you plan to sleep or save with a damaged tool.

Protect the tools you need

A getting-started guide warns that a tool you want to keep should be favourited, otherwise it may be used in hammering and cutting recipes and lose durability. The beginner guide explains the same behaviour from the crafting side: loose items and carried tools are consumed first, and favouriting prevents that. Batteries belong in this category — the item catalogue lists several battery tiers, and a full-run recording shows an auto pump running off a charged battery.

Moving between levels

The community getting-started guide notes that climbing ropes occasionally appear and allow you to go up or down safely. The official store description says that using tools lets you travel the cavernous layers more efficiently. That is the practical reason to keep a rope available rather than crafting it into something else.

Evidence limits

Recipe quantities and condition thresholds come from community guides written against demo 7.0 and early 1.0 builds, and the item catalogue lists properties for a specific version. Check your own crafting screen for the current numbers. No crafting was tested first-hand for this page.
