How on earth do you use the crafting table?

[Ume Ito]

I can't select the fire plow recipe, no button combination or physical action does anything with the stick on the table or in my inventory, and the table itself does literally nothing. The game just tells me to "craft a fire plow" and provides zero help beyond that.

Tried googling the issue and all I got were tutorials on later crafting recipes where you physically combine stuff and the instructions for PC Green Hell, but this first crucial step is nowhere to be seen and in-game I've exhausted every possible option to get anything to happen.

I used the stick, not the small stick, as the recipe stated but again there's zero feedback.

you just put the items on the table and you will see a transparent hologram of the item above it and you grip the item to make it, i think its a small stick and a regular stick, just drop those items onto the table

I didn't see a hologram but I'll try that combination out, thanks.

And stop making your own recipe's...
If it says small stick it means small stick.
But you also need tinder for it to work after you craft it

Wasn't making my own recipes, I interpreted it as "One stick or one small stick and a plank"
The formatting isn't that good but at least I know what the issue is now

Immediate tooltip after placing a thing - Usually an invalid crafting combo

Piece of paper gets bold circles and one is filled in - You can make a thing (with or without knowing it!), keep adding stuff to see if you get a result.

Hologram - grab this thing to make it.

You might find guides about the oculus version where you immersively craft things (shave a stick with a knife, etc). That's not here (yet?). We get the crafting rock.

its a small stick and a plank OR stick. so.. you always need the small stick.. then its a plank or normal stick

What I don't get is how do I know what to make? Do I have to guess and test or google the recipes or can you find them in the game...it's called a fire plough!?


"still figuring out VR games like this so it was pretty alien"

That made me sad because this game definitely still uses a hybrid system to use desktop style mechanics with VR controls.

It works and the game is fine, but there are better gaming experiences in terms of using VR controllers to interact with things.

a lot of the stuff you find blueprints for by exploring and when you find stuff then you'll learn then to make it. others like the different types of building show in the inventory when you touch something related to the plans like mud. finally, some stuff like obsidian equipment is literally trial and error atfirst. there's only so many basic tools that it's not hard.
