Crafting
Crafting can be a very tedious and expensive thing to do, however it is a very common trade to have on the server. whether you want to earn money by selling weaponry and ammunition to other players, or craft the items for yourself.
The Menu
To get the crafting menu in front of you, click F1 and head over to Crafting.
Here you can find all the craftable items aswell as the required materials, skills and genes for each item. The materials can be purchased at the Hammer Plus store, the genes can be purchased at the Hospital if you do not have them already, and the skills can be obtained through crafting.
In order to craft anything you will need a workbench; you can buy this at the NPC in Ol' Stool
This is the bare minimum you need in order to start crafting.
After you've bought it you'll need to return to your property, open the Q menu and click the workbench in order to equip it
In your property you will find predefined locations for this workbench when you stand too far away it will appear red, meaning you cannot place it.
As you walk closer this red colour will turn into green meaning you can place the workbench you can do so by left clicking.
Note: If there are props in the workbench location, it will remain red until you remove the obstruction
Congratulations, you have placed the workbench! Now you can go ahead and start crafting!
Furniture
Some furniture you can buy from the shops however, many of the furnitures has to be bought off of other players or crafted by yourself! Since a lot of furniture is made out of wood, you'd need the required Wood working level. To level your Wood working skill, start with items that require Wood working level 1 in the furniture tab in the crafting menu. Once level 2 you unlock a new tier of craftable furnitures, this continues to Wood working level 8.
Other furniture that you can find in this menu is based around genetics and skills rather than wood working. An example of this is given on the image below. so make sure you have to correct skills!
By crafting furniture you can level up your crafting level and have handy props you can engage in roleplay with. But for the people that would like to make some money, there is a more profitable way to level up the crafting level which brings us to the next part of this guide.

Craft your way up to Firearms level 3 and start making Pistol Ammo as you can sell these for some good profit (everyone wants ammo, especially pistol ammo as it can be used for the majority of the concealed weapons)
