Miscellaneous Recipes collects the everyday odd jobs that fit no single craft. It covers ripping cloth into rags, chopping firewood, packing tents and sleeping bags, lighting lanterns, making animal traps, gas mask filters, smashing skulls for bone and teeth, and burning charcoal.
Most of these jobs are quick chores rather than skill training. They are the small steps that keep a survivor supplied. Rags from ripped clothing go into First Aid and Tailoring. Traps bring in small game for Trapping. Bone Pieces and Animal Teeth from smashed skulls go on to Carving. The category ties many crafts together, so it is worth knowing well from the first day.
Skills
Nearly every recipe here needs no skill. Rip Clothing, Rip Sheet, Chop Log Into Firewood and Craft Twine are open from the start.
The traps ask for Trapping. Make Snare Trap needs Trapping 1. Make Box Trap needs Trapping 2 and Carpentry 1. Make Cage Trap needs Trapping 3.
Strength gates the heavy smashing jobs. Smash Small Herbivore Skull needs Strength 1. Pig, stag and herbivore skulls need Strength 2. Smash Cow Skull needs Strength 3. Smash Bone, Smash Jawbone and Cut Up Tire need Strength 4.
A few jobs give some XP. Make Snare Trap, Make Box Trap and Make Crate Trap give Carpentry XP. Make Improvised Gas Mask gives Tailoring XP, and Drill Plank gives a little Carving XP.

Learning
Most recipes are known from the start. A handful must be learned.
The trap recipes are taught by The Hunter, Wildlife Preserve and Small Game Hunting magazines. The Hunter trait and the Park Ranger occupation know them already. The Hiker and Bushcrafter traits know some of them.
The gas mask recipes are taught by The Cheapskate's John Spiral - Chemical Warfare. The Engineer occupation knows them, and No Man's Land teaches the filter work. Make Firecracker comes from Real Spy Secrets - June 1993.
The Burglar occupation knows three special jobs: Copy Building Key, Make Blank ID and Hollow Out Book. Escaping Captivity, Forging New Identities and Real Spy Secrets - May 1993 teach them to others.
These magazines, books, traits and occupations teach recipes from this category that have to be learned.

Materials
Rag, Plank and Twine are the most common inputs. Sheets and old clothing give the rags. Logs and Large Branch give firewood. Tarp can be cut into Tarp Piece.
A hammer, sledgehammer, club hammer or hammerstone smashes skulls and bones. Scissors or a sharp knife handle the cutting jobs. All of these tools come back after the craft. Kept tools can still wear down with use.
The materials these recipes use up most often.

Stations
Most recipes are made in hand or on any surface. A few use a station. The charcoal recipes run at a Charcoal Burner, a Charcoal Burning Pit or a Dome Kiln. Make Coke runs only at the Dome Kiln. Fire 2 Limestone runs at a Small Kiln, and Fire 4 Limestone at a Large Kiln, turning Limestone into Quicklime. A Metal Bandsaw cuts up tires, iron bands and circular sawblades.
The workstations these recipes run at.

Recipes
Early jobs keep a camp running. Rip Clothing and Rip Sheet make Rag. Chop Log Into Firewood gives six Firewood and some Wood Splinters. Tie Sheet Rope turns a Sheet into a Sheet Rope.
Trapping is the mid-game set. Make Snare Trap, Make Stick Trap and Make Crate Trap need little or no Trapping skill. Make Box Trap and Make Cage Trap come later as the skill grows.
Bone work comes from hunting and butchering. Smash Cow Skull gives Jawbone, and Smash Stag Skull gives Antlers. Smash Pig Skull gives Pig Tusk.
Protective gear rounds it out. Make Improvised Gas Mask and Make Gas Mask Filter make homemade breathing gear. Recharge Filters refreshes used filters.
Every recipe in the Miscellaneous 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.

- The Burglar occupation starts with the key, ID and book recipes.
