Crafting Recipes and Survival ItemsThe only confirmed named recipe before Early Access is bandage + flask → firebomb. Start here because crafting is the verb stack the whole SAIR facility rotates around.

How the SAIR facility opens

  1. Loot a cache

    Caches of vital equipment hold bandages, flasks, ammo boxes, audio logs, and keycards.

  2. Craft

    Combine resources

    Bandage + flask → firebomb. The same pipeline yields healing items and improvised traps.

  3. Open

    Solve a verb

    Hack a turret, jimmy a door, refuel a machine, or clear a terminal puzzle to open the next corridor.

  4. Explore

    Push the route

    Side rooms and sealed shortcuts repay the components with lore, ammo, and a way past the predators.
