Crafting Component Locations

Discover all crafting component locations in The Alters. Learn where to find Metals, Organics, Damaged Chips, and more to craft essential items for your base and survival.

This guide details the crafting system in The Alters, including how to craft items and the materials required for each recipe. Crafting is done via the Workshop Queue, accessed by pressing 'TAB' and selecting 'Production'. You can then choose a workshop, select an item to craft, and add it to the queue. To actually craft the item, you must go to the designated room for that workshop and interact with the Workbench using the 'E' key. Be mindful of your energy levels, as crafting consumes a significant amount.
