Recipe Book

Description
s were lootable items found inside bookcases as well as many containers at random locations throughout the map. Using a recipe book unlocked new recipes to craft various weapons and tools. The new recipe or recipes the player learned were added to the recipe list found to the left of the crafting grid. To read a book, it had to be in a tool belt slot and needed to be activated by mouse clicking.
 * A recipe was displayed in grey if the player had not crafted the item previously and didn't have the correct materials.
 * A recipe was displayed in white if the player had the correct materials but hadn't crafted the item previously.
 * A recipe was displayed in green if the player had the correct materials in their inventory and they had crafted the item previously.

Recipes were permanently unlocked, whereas recipe books could be lost or destroyed.

Recipe books disappeared when read. Since the release of Alpha 16, you can no longer read the same book or schematic for experience. If you try, the message "All recipes already known" will appear at the bottom of the screen. Additional copies of recipe books can be given or traded to other survivors or a trader, as well as burned for fuel in a Campfire or Forge or crafted to paper.
