Introduction
This guide will show you what the player can make for the home base. This includes the starting cost for making the placable item, any upgrades you can perform on the item and what craftable goods you can make each level with a description on what they do.

It is made for people that are interested in knowing what upgrades do what so they can plan accordingly without perhaps wasting resources on access to items they do not wish to make.

PLEASE DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU WOULD WISH TO FIND OUT YOURSELF AS THIS GUIDE WILL MAKE THE GAME EASIER OR SPOIL WHAT YOU CAN BUILD WHEN YOU UPGRADE.

Still a WIP.

Lol, wished I had seen this one, I worked on a spreadsheet... here some additions:

Improved metal workshop:
30 components, 15 wood, 5 parts
Moonshine:
4 sugar, 4 water and 1 fuel, except when using a good cook(Bruno): 3,3,1 takes 4,5 hours.
Hatchet:
5 wood and 5 weapon parts(no component I think)
Knife:
3 Components, 2 wood, 3 weapon parts

I think building might differ depending on the skills of people.
