# Craft

Many space stations and specialized outposts are equipped with **Craft** devices. To use one, navigate your ship close to the location and initiate interaction. If a Craft device is present, a **"Craft"** button will appear, leading you to its interface.

Each Craft device presents **four input slots**. To create an item, you must fill these slots with the correct combination of resources and components.

* **If you know the recipe**, the process is straightforward.
* **If you do not know the recipe**, you must **experiment** by trying different combinations.

**⚠️ Important:** Every use of the device **consumes all materials placed in the slots.**

**Outcomes: Success or Failure**

* **Success:** Using the correct recipe yields the desired, valuable technological device or system.
* **Failure:** An incorrect combination does not result in a total loss. Instead, it produces a strange, dark byproduct known as a **Dark Element**. These elements themselves have rarity (Common to Mythical) and can be used in future crafting experiments or even be part of other, more complex recipes.

**Known Dark Elements:**

Active use of the Craft system requires a **substantial stockpile of resources and components** for experimentation. The alternative is to **acquire precise recipes**, making the process reliable and efficient. Recipes can be discovered through various means: shared by allies, found as quest rewards, or unearthed from cosmic debris.

��***To share a hard-won recipe with others, or to guard it as a personal advantage, is a choice that defines your path in the galaxy.***
