How to read this page

Each row is one recipe. Ingredients are used up. Tools stay in your inventory, though some wear a little. Where a cell says "or", any one of the options works. Requirements lists the skill level you need, the XP the craft gives, and how the recipe is learned if you do not know it from the start. Under each name is where you craft it: in hand, on any surface, at a named workstation, or built in the world from the building menu.
