Removing link to old guide
[[CDB|Main]] / [[Tutorials]] / '''{{PAGENAME}}'''
==Description==This page explains completing tasks via the crafting window rather than manual crafting through the inventory - which is outlined in another one of the [[Starting_with_Nothing|tutorial]] pages. To activate the crafting window select the far right button on the [[quickbar]] or enter the in-game options screen (default key is Esc) and select Crafting.
== Object Boxes ==
[[Image:CraftingWindowExpanded.jpg|right]]
The upper section of the window focuses on the items or objects to be used in the crafting process. Items may be added to these boxes by dragging them from an inventory window and releasing over one of the boxes or via the right-click menu on objects that cannot be picked up, such as tile borders or building walls. Stacks of items may also be added by dragging the group header or by ctrl/shift selecting individual items before dragging.
It is also possible to repair items in these boxes via the right-click menu.
=== Clay ===
When a clay item requires hand-moulding the hand button may be clicked (top left) one or more times to alternate which box the hand should be applied, if an object is already in one of the boxes the empty one will be populated. If both boxes are in use then the leftmost box will be overwritten. A hand may also be dragged and dropped from the body section of the inventory if this has been enabled.
=== Large or fixed objects ===
Large or non-inventory based items may be worked or continued upon in the window just as any other. To add them to the boxes use the right-click interface on the object and ''add to crafting window''. An empty slot will be taken or the leftmost in the case of both being populated.
=== Structures ===
When the large or fixed object is a structure, you must drag the appropriate tool into the second box. The list will update to tell you the items you must have in your inventory in order to continue. When an object is used by the crafting window, it consumes the first available item of that type in your inventory, including items that are rare or better. Any item that you do not wish to be used in the crafting process should be removed from your inventory to prevent accidental use.
=== Removing objects ===
Clicking the red cross to the right of either box will remove whatever object has been assigned. It is also possible to right click inside of the box and remove one or all items (in the case of a stack) from that box.
=== Statistics ===
Quick statistics about the item are displayed in the areas below the item(s).
== Crafting list ==
The crafting list can be expanded by clicking the arrow to the middle right side of the window. The list will show all possible crafts based on the items entered into the boxes, along with their craft probability based on your skills and the quality and damage of the items selected.
