Unturned Crafting Guide

A necessary crafting guide (featuring recipes and item locations) to the popular, F2P Steam game, Unturned.
This article is over 10 years old and may contain outdated information

Bringing in massive amounts of attention, approximately 40-60 thousand players at once, Unturned has been a title to watch on Steam’s Early Access list.

Previously known as Unturned 2, this zombie survival FPS features a crucial skill players must master in order to excel– crafting.

Below are a list of recipes for players to easily locate specific items within the games. (Hint: Ctrl+F makes this a lot easier)

How to Craft

Once you’re inside Unturned, use the Tab key to access your inventory. You’ll see your crafting menu pop up to the right after pressing “Craft.”

You’ll see 4 boxes: 2 for Materials, 1 for Tools, and 1 for the Result. By dragging and dropping the respective pieces from your inventory into the specific box. 

Once the pieces are all in place, press the button with all the tools on it to begin crafting. The resulting item can then be dragged back into your inventory. 

Finding Your Materials

Rocks are collected by destroying boulders with a Pick, which is found in various civilian locations. 

Logs are collected by destroying trees with an Axe (found in civilian locations and construction sites), Fire Axe (found at any of the 3 fire stations), or Chainsaw (found in agricultural areas or the S.S. Haven). 

Reading the Tables

Just a preface to the massive amount of table content below, I’d like to clarify how to decipher what would make any reader cross-eyed. 

In case there was any confusion, the Material (listed to the left) is the item you will be using to craft the Resulting Item (what comes after you craft). 

The Tool is used along with the Material to produce the end result. Some of these crafting recipes will require a Crafting Level. If so, it is included to the right. If there is no requirement, the right column will say “0.”
