The crafting system, known as Tinkering, allows you to upgrade your weapons and armor, repair damaged gear, and apply mods. You'll need a workbench, which can be found on your ship, the Unreliable, and in various settlements. Tinkering increases a weapon's damage or an armor's rating, but it costs Bits and requires specific crafting materials. Repairing restores durability, preventing your gear from breaking. Modding allows you to attach weapon and armor mods, which can drastically alter their performance. Higher 'Engineering' and 'Science' skills reduce the cost of tinkering and improve the effectiveness of crafted items. Always keep an eye out for crafting components and schematics; they are essential for maintaining and improving your arsenal. Don't underestimate the power of a fully tinkered and modded weapon.
