How to craft things?!?

[Seebus]

Hello,

I don't know why, but I can't craft some things...
E.g. I want to craft Stripes:
Everything I need is 3 rations, but every time I try to craft stripes I got rotten meat...
Why?

Its the same for a lot of things, I want to combine 15 wood and 3 iron ingots and what do I get? A pickax and not the flail...

Iam playing the game on Android.

Thank you.

Learning a new recipe can be a bit hit and miss. The game seems to randomly craft an item that can be made using the items you are trying to combine. So, if you try to combine 3 rations together, you will either get the stripes or the rotten meat, as both can be made from your ‘pool’ of 3 rations. The best thing to do is to save before combining, then reload if you don’t get the item you wanted.

Of course, once you have learned the recipe you can craft the item by clicking on the anvil next to the recipe. This will 100% create the item you want.

The anvil! That was easy. Thank you, I thought it was just decoration.
