Knapping Recipes covers stone toolmaking: chipping flint and flat stones into blades, awls, chisels, saws, drills and tool heads. A flint nodule and a striking stone are enough to start.
The recipes train Knapping. A higher level opens better stone tools. Knapping is the fallback when metal tools are scarce or far away. A stone blade, a stone awl or a stone chisel gives a survivor working tools made from rock. Some pieces, such as the saw and the scythe, take a wooden handle. A survivor in the wilds often starts here before any forge is built.
Skills
Knap Sharp Flint Flake and Knap Stone Awl need no Knapping level. The flake is the base for most of the other recipes.
Knapping 1 opens Knap Stone Blade, Knap Stone Chisel and Remake Long Stone Blade. Knapping 2 opens Knap Stone Blade Scythe. Knapping 3 opens Knapp Flint Saw. Knapping 4 opens Knap Large Stone Axe Head.
Knap Stone Drill and Knap Stone Maul Head need Knapping 5. Knap Long Stone Blade is the top recipe at Knapping 6.
The XP grows with the level of the recipe. A flake gives a little, and Knap Long Stone Blade gives the most. The Park Ranger occupation and the Bushcrafter trait each start with 1 level. The Knapping skill books raise the XP rate for each pair of levels.
The recipes by the skill level they ask for.

Learning
Only Knap Sharp Flint Flake is known from the start. Every other recipe must be learned.
The Bushcrafter trait starts with all of them known. Magazines cover the rest. Tool Use of Early Man teaches the blades, the scythe, the axe head and the maul head. Cultures of Prehistory teaches the awl, the chisel, the saw and the drill. Wilderness Survival teaches Knap Stone Blade.
Each recipe except Remake Long Stone Blade is also learned automatically. The awl unlocks at Knapping 2, and the long stone blade at Knapping 9. A knapper who keeps making flakes and blades will pick them up in time.
These magazines, books, traits and occupations teach recipes from this category that have to be learned.

Materials
Flint Nodule is the raw stone for flakes and long blades. Sharp Flint Flake is the most used input in the category. Large Smooth Flat Stone is the base for the heavy axe and maul heads.
A Tree Branch or Medium Handle gives the scythe and the saw a grip. The saw also needs Twine or Leather Strips to bind it.
The striking tool comes back after each job. A hammerstone, a mallet or a knapping tool all work. Knap Stone Drill also takes a crude chisel or mason's chisel, and it accepts a hammer or club hammer too. Kept tools can wear down with use.

Stations
Every recipe is made on any surface. A table, a counter or another flat spot nearby is enough. That makes knapping easy to do at any camp.
Recipes
Start with Knap Sharp Flint Flake. It turns a Flint Nodule into the flake that most other recipes use. Knap Stone Awl and Knap Stone Blade follow for early cutting and piercing work. Knap Stone Chisel gives a chisel for other crafts.
Mid-level work makes working tools. Knap Stone Blade Scythe makes a Stone-Blade Scythe. Knapp Flint Saw makes a Flint Saw from a flake, a handle and some binding. Knap Large Stone Axe Head gives the head for a stone axe.
The late recipes are Knap Stone Drill, Knap Stone Maul Head and Knap Long Stone Blade. Remake Long Stone Blade turns a Long Stone Blade back into a Stone Blade.
Every recipe in the Knapping 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.
