Assembly Recipes cover putting heads and blades onto handles, and taking finished tools and weapons apart again. This is where a loose Axe Head becomes an Axe, and where an old Spade gives back its Spade Head.
The craft trains Maintenance, the skill that keeps tools and weapons in working order. It gives a survivor a way to save the valuable metal part of an old tool. It also turns forged heads and blades into usable gear. That makes Assembly the link between Blacksmithing at the forge and the tools used every day. Stone tools are part of the same menu, so a survivor can make a first axe and hammer here from stone and branches.
Skills
Taking things apart needs no skill. Dismantle Bladed Item, Dismantle Long Implement and Dismantle Medium Implement can all be done by a beginner. Dismantle Knife/Tool Spear and Get Long Stick need no skill either.
Putting things together needs Maintenance level 1. That covers every assembly recipe, from knives and swords to axes, hammers, garden tools and maces. It also covers the stone tools.
Each assembly gives a little Maintenance experience. The stone tools and Assemble Crude Knife give more than fitting a head to a handle. Recipes in this menu are an easy early way to start the skill.
The recipes by the skill level they ask for.
| Skill | Level | Recipes |
|---|---|---|
| None | - | 5 |
| Maintenance | 1 | 11 |
Learning
Every recipe in this menu is known from the start. A new character can fit a found Axe Head to a Large Handle right away, once Maintenance reaches level 1.
Materials
Handles are the most common input. A Small Handle goes on knives and swords. A Medium Handle goes on hammers and hatchets. A Large Handle goes on axes, pickaxes and sledgehammers. A Long Stick carries garden tools such as the Spade, Rake and Garden Hoe.
Most recipes need a hammer, a club hammer or a mallet. Many also need a sharp knife. Both tools are kept after each use.
The stone tools run on simple materials. A Tree Branch, a Stone or a Sharp Flint Flake and some binding make a Stone Hammer or Crude Stone Axe. The binding can be any item the game accepts as a simple weapon binding.
Metal heads and blades come from dismantling found gear or from forging at a forge.
The materials these recipes use up most often.

Stations
Every recipe here is made in hand or at a surface. Most recipes need a flat surface nearby, such as a table or counter. Assemble Crude Knife, Dismantle Knife/Tool Spear and Get Long Stick are done in hand, anywhere.
Recipes
Early on, the stone tools matter most. Make Stone Hammer gives a first hammer. Make Crude Stone Axe gives a first axe from a branch and a flint flake. Make Large Stone Axe and Make Stone Maul give heavier stone tools on a Large Handle.
Rebuilding worn tools is the main mid-game use. Dismantle Long Implement or Dismantle Medium Implement takes the head off an old tool. The handle comes away broken. Assemble Long Implement or Assemble Medium Implement then puts it on a new handle. Assemble Very Long Implement does the same for garden tools.
Weapons follow the same pattern. Assemble Bladed Item fits a blade to a Small Handle to make a knife, machete or sword. Assemble Mace and Assemble Stone Mace mount a mace head on a Short Bat or Large Handle. Assemble Crude Knife binds a stone or simple metal blade into a knife.
Dismantle Knife/Tool Spear takes a makeshift spear apart. It gives back both the knife or tool and the Long Stick.
Every recipe in the Assembly menu is listed with what it makes, what it uses up, the tools it hands back, the skill it asks for and where it is made. A "Yes" under Learned means the recipe has to be learned first. Each tab holds one kind of thing made.

Notes
- The head of an old tool can be taken off and refitted to a fresh handle.
- The hammer and sharp knife are kept after every assembly.
- Forged heads and blades from the forge are finished here.
- Stone tools need only Maintenance level 1 and easy materials, so they suit the first days.
