Crafting Station?

[Hairless]

I see a Crafting station next to the Trader inside each station. Also see some goods the trader buys/sells listed as Crafting Materials. Does anyone know what can be crafted, or how one might go about finding out what crafting materials go into what items? With no guide, I don't see how one can guess at this.

Open the crafting station and it tells you everthing you can craft

tried using one - listed ingredients for medkits: Bandages, needles, and 1 otherr. Bought 2 from trader. They weren't selling needles. Did a wiki on needles. Said they could be found in crates. Found no crates on station. So you can craft medkits and some stations want them - saw a quest for them in fact. But how to get needles eludes me.

Well, in the crafting station you see for instance, Medikit, under that you see crafting materials that you need: bandages,needles and one more (i forgott wich one) .

yes, however finding the needles was liking looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack

Each trader in a station has some not all crafting items. Just fly to the next nearest one and buy all components needed for medikit. It's a good way to get early credits.

could only find 1 trader in the starting station, so I guess I need to leave that station?

Oddly everything I see are the items I have picked up from crates in space after destorying some ships. None of these items are in my Cargo to sell (talking to the trader shows no items in my ship cargo to sell) and only show up in the crafting list.

Each item also has two credit values. One of the values for all my items shows 0 as the items seem damaged and unsellable compared to the their possible value?

I see no list of materials need to craft these items at the crafting station either.

The crafting recipes show up if you manage to get one part of the recipe. Usually from drops in space.

Actually, the same kind of trader that sells bandages and sedatives also sells needles. But somtimes, a trader will only have 2 of the 3. So you have to hop around to several stations and buy up all the needles/bandages/sedatives you see, until you finally have at least some of each, in order to craft the first aid kit.

As a side note, unless you have at least one of the crafting materials in your possession, NOTHING will show up when you click on a crafting station. That was my original problem. Once I accumulated a few things, the recipes showed up there. Would have been a much better design to show them there, regardless of what you had in your inventory since you can't craft the item anyway unless you have sufficient quantities of all required items. logic error #341
