Anyone Know Of a Printable Chart For Crafting?
While the subject line is what I'm looking for, I do have a small rant. While I'm enjoying the game, one of the things that frustrates me is remembering what materials I need to craft certain items. Like Chromatic Metal, just as an example. Because by the time I need that material again, I've forgotten how to make it. And stuff like..... making warp fuel for the starship. It surprises me that basic things such as that, that you need to use ALL the time to do pretty much anything useful in the game, are so complicated to make. Thrust and Pulse are easy enough.....but warp fuel requires the combination of several components - which more than likely - you don't have all of them at a critical moment. And some suff needs a Refiner. And you can't carry everything. I've thought about making more of what I need than for just a couple of Warp jumps, for example. But inventory is so limited on the ExoSuit and Starship in the first part of the game, that I'm constantly deleting stuff to make room.

Anyway....I digress. Back to my question: does anyone have a link to charts that I can print out and refer to when I need specific craftable items? I did find a couple of sites that offered some charts, but weren't useful to print out. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or links.

Thanks for the link, but I was hoping for something that would be easy to read when printed out. This will be too tiny to read if I printed it on 8.5" x 11". Not sure how I can clip certain sections, and make them bigger to print out individually. I'll see what's available.

Chromatic metal complicated? Just throw some copper in a refiner.

I never said Chromatic Metal was complicated. Making hyperdrive fuel is. You're missing my point. Just using it as an example. And yes NOW I know that's how you make Chromatic Metal, but in the first couple of hours, I made it, then forgot what was needed in the Refiner. If I had a a chart, I could have just referred to it. There's a ton of other stuff that I have to keep guessing how to make.

use a wiki, they are mostly accurate

This one should be very complete:

The point is that there is not a quick chart, as there are many different components and recipes, you memorize the more important and take a look on the internet for the rest.

And this flowchart >.> https://www.dropbox.com/s/bxngrlpyl8kdyzk/NMS%20REFINERY%200.2.jpg?dl=0

Should be able to print that one since it is in .jpg and not the interactive version.

One thing I was looking for in mods was one that would let you select what type of output you'd like, and then it would highlight the ingredients needed for it, unfortunately I did not find one. The best course of action I find is to leave a browser with the wiki open in your steam overlay so when you shift-tab your info is right ther

You could try this app: https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/1744479064007863631/

It's for the refiner recipies only though.
You can check your guide (press p) to check for the ingredients for known crafted items.

It's times like this that I wish I had dual monitors. I could switch it out, but that's a pain.

...I never said Chromatic Metal was complicated. Making hyperdrive fuel is...

Chromatic metal often is a drop from barrels ejected in space battles if that helps. I rarely refine any now unless I just want to get rid of other metals to make some space. It drops a lot in space as does silver and gold. A lot is needed to build base pieces on a freighter..

Crafting is a supporting role in the game and you'll find most things are obtainable by just messing about in the galaxy doing missions and exploring. Selling the rewards to make units to buy stuff in bulk, that you do need to craft stuff. Open as many barrels and storage crates as you come across them, without actually searching for them. Antimatter often pops up even the odd warp cell complete.

A good thing to do is collect and store a selection of the basic resources in your high capacity exosuit. That way you can make anything you want when you need to. There are so many ways to play the game now so you have a huge choice how you wish to enjoy the game. :)

Not very printer friendly and not completely up to date either, but good enough to make every crafting/base building way easier.

try this one, most of the numbers are correct, one or two may not be but it tells you everything you may need to make. I found it online and made a few changes to correct what I found. This is the only list I use.
