Very simply, this is just a post that contains a variety of idea's for new crafts; be they functional items, materials, etc etc.
Materials:
Alkali: a bottle of an Alkaline Solution
Acid: Bottle of Acidic Solution
Bleach: Potassium-Based Bleach
Optical Lenses: Refined form of glass, could be used to Create high-powered scopes, would also require a High-crafting skill and a lot of glass as Lenses that aren't fucked are hard to make.
Primer: Small Charge designed to set off High Impact Explosives, relatively simple to make.
Detonator: Small electrical device that can be wired up to a bomb, probably an RP item.
Wires: Insulated Copper Cabling, really not that difficult to make, perhaps requires 2 plastic, 1 metal
Protective Padding: Poor-mans Spectra/Kevlar, Expensive to make, 4x Fabric, used in making better armour.
Tobacco: Deconstruct a cigarette to get 1
Rubber: 4 Plastic in a mixer with a bottle of acid?
Clothing:
Unarmoured Trench Coat: I mean come one, we can already make a trench coat but can't take the armour out?
Hat's, Craftable hats other than the Beanie: more diverse fashion choices so everyone isn't wearing the same two hats
Pre-Combine Hazmat suit: Expensive to make, requires a lot of Rubber, a Gas mask and a full makeshift filter (think OP-1/L1/L2 style NBC suit)
Circular Rimmed Glasses: just a stylistic option
A Top Hat: to look fancy, gives +1 Cool
A Monocle: gives +2 cool
More shoes: Self explanatory
Balaclava: hides face from camera's and provides bandana level of spore protection, maybe a little more. Cost: 2 fabric, 1 strong glue, scissors.
Misc:
Cigar: Crafted with 4-8 tobacco, lasts 3x as long as a regular cigarette.
Weapons:
Welrod: a Device designed for Sabotage and subterfuge, easy to manufacture with a simple system, incredibly quiet, takes standard 9x19mm rounds, drawbacks are its loading time and that it does not have a magazine but is instead rear-loaded a round at a time, perfect weapon for a resistance.
Productions could be: 1x Light weapon part 2x Iron, 2x strong adhesive, 2x Rubber
Plastic Explosives/IED: Really easy to produce and can be made in even the most unforgiving and inhospitable environments as recent history has shown us, most common form of this is Potassium Chlorate or Nitrobenzene based explosive, both are Low-Impact but nonetheless devastating.
Production: Both would require a multi-step process, from refinement in a mixer, to cooking them on a stove, to assembling them with a crafting bench, whilst they are relatively simple to make, I imagine some of the ingredients would be a little hard to come by under the combine, so perhaps a smuggler item that is costly? 80-100 chips?
Tripwire Trap: rudimentary trip-wire explosive, not difficult to make, another tool of any resistance front.
Production: Explosive material, Grenade Case, stitched Cloth.
Crossbow: an iconic weapon in Half-Life that is built with citizen-tech, I.e low-tech, could be the intermediary between proper firearms and scrap weapons
Production: 1 Reinforced Metal plate, 1 strong Adhesive, 1 fabric, 1 Car battery, 1 Hunting Scope
Attatchments:
Hunting scope: Long-range Hunting scope
Production: 3 Optical lenses, 2 Iron
Medium range scope: maybe 1-6x magnification?
Production: 2 lenses, 2 Iron
Misc:
Arming device: device to arm explosives.
Production: Wires, Handheld radio, metal scraps, adhesive
this is just a spitballing discussion, feel free to agree or rip-apart these suggestions
