gianni001 37 Posted May 22, 2014 Hi Guys, So I have found the following so far - Rope + Animal pelt = Leather Bag - Rope + Fishing hook + Ashwood stick = Fishing rod To make a fire pit - Cut down a tree, get the fire wood, if you dont have sticks already drag your axe on the fire wood and you get the option to chop it into sticks. Once you have a stick drag your rags onto the stick to craft a fire pit. Once that is done place the fire wood onto the fire pit by dragging it there. Place matches in hand and ignite fire. The rain will put your matches out so be careful. I found you can cook lots of things in the fire, you just drag animal meat into it and it slowly turns red but It never cooked, when I ate it I got sick and needed charcoal tabs. Not sure how to get the meat to cooked or even if its possible You could also cook your beans in there. Can anyone confirm that you can use the cooking pot / pan to cook now, and if you can how? Apparently you can upgrade the fire pit to a furnace? Anyone know how? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aj90lfc 58 Posted May 22, 2014 Gas stove + cannister + Pan can be used to cook too, but not sure how it works (The pan turns red but didn't try cooking anything) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackberrygoo 1416 Posted May 23, 2014 I have a feeling the "upgrading your fire pit to a fireplace" thing is bugged , seems everyone I've talked to can't figure out how many stones to add ... But good thread idea I hope everyone comes here with their crafting finds ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EndOfDayZ 36 Posted May 23, 2014 Crafting is/will b3 an awesome addition, but the devs need to explain what can be crafted and how to craft it.I know discovering this is part of the fun but we all have different minds and would do things differently if presented with the same problem.basic things like 'cut and cook meat' or 'use matches on fireplace, are simple enough, but more complex construction needs instructions.I Want DIY melee weapon upgrades, baseball bat with nails, yes please :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samps 9 Posted May 23, 2014 can you post a photo of the leather bag, been trying to make one but cant find any animals to kill and skin :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hiniberus 122 Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) How many slots does the leather bag have o: ? Also tried adding a stick to it or something to possibly upgrade it much like the courier bag? It'd be so awesome if you could upgrade it *U* Edited May 23, 2014 by ManBearus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hombrecz 832 Posted May 23, 2014 Very nice thread! Please guys post more of your findings and maybe provide some pictures of your creation (ingame ones). I so wished that duct tape could be used to modify weapon to attach flashlight, but Devs said that it would require 1 extra model for each such weapon. I mean yes, it is extra work, but details are one the things that make games great! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fowang 60 Posted May 23, 2014 Anyone been able to actually get meat to cook?Its takes a while but I've seen it done. Takes the same amount of time as a Steak IRL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rickyriot 1009 Posted May 23, 2014 Gas stove + cannister + Pan can be used to cook too, but not sure how it works (The pan turns red but didn't try cooking anything) That's not new, the previous experimental (which I presume is now the stable) allowed you to put the pot on a gas stove and it would become hot. The problem is you can't put anything into the pot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zeroy 240 Posted May 23, 2014 if you dont have sticks already drag your axe on the fire wood and you get the option to chop it into sticks. You can just right click and "Splits into thirds" - no axe required. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

inphared 33 Posted May 23, 2014 Anyone been able to actually get meat to cook?Yup, I cooked 8 pieces of deer steak on a fire last night & all of them were perfect, no burns. Basically you need to actually sit there & watch the meat cook & pay attention. Too early & it's raw, too late & it's burnt, both results in being sick. I made a fire in a little shack in the middle of the woods somewhere. Put the meat on the fire, watched it turned red & just paid attention. I'm guessing in the 6-8 minute mark (totally guessing as I didn't pay attention to time) they should be ready. What I did was keep the inventory window open & swapped the steaks around the slots after 5+ minutes until I saw that they were cooked. Once they are cooked the icon changes & you can put it in your inventory. Not sure if you need to move the steaks around to update the status, to show they are cooked, but I did it anyways as that's what seemed to work. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Irish. 4886 Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) I slightly remember reading them saying the fireplace is bugged, but that it takes 6 or 8 stones to craft one.
