Weaponry Recipes covers the handmade melee weapons in the crafting menu. It ranges from glass shivs and fire-hardened spears to nail bats, railspike clubs, sawblade weapons, welded scrap metal swords and forged spiked maces.
The recipes spread across several skills. Carpentry builds the nail, railspike and sawblade weapons. Maintenance covers spears, shivs, bone clubs and reinforced pieces. Welding makes the scrap metal blades and mauls. Blacksmithing forges the spiked clubs and mace head. A survivor with any one of these skills can arm themselves from household junk. The category also links weapon making to Carving and the forges.
Skills
A few recipes need no skill. Smash Bottle, Saw Off Shotgun, Bind Spear Head With Duct Tape and Fire Harden Spear are open early.
Level 1 in Maintenance or Carpentry opens most of the first weapons. Make Nail-Spiked Weapon, Make Bone Club, Make Shiv and Assemble Spear sit here. Make Block Bludgeon needs Welding 1.
Middle levels bring stronger builds. Carpentry 3 to 5 opens sawblade planks, railspike bats and brake disc weapons. Maintenance 4 and 5 open Make Kettle Maul and Make Bucket Maul. Welding 4 and 5 open the scrap metal cleaver, chopper and axe.
The top end needs high skill. Make Scrap Metal Sword needs Welding 8. Forge Mace Head needs Blacksmithing 7 at the Advanced Forge.
Several recipes also ask the matching weapon skill to unlock automatically, such as Spear for spear heads and Short Blade for shivs.
The recipes by the skill level they ask for.

Learning
Most of the Carpentry and Maintenance weapons must be learned. The welded scrap metal weapons and a few simple jobs are known from the start.
The Handy trait and the DIY Expert occupation know the largest share. The Carpenter occupation knows most of the Carpentry weapons. The Brawler trait knows the reinforced pieces. The Bushcrafter trait knows the spear and bone recipes. The Burglar occupation knows the shivs and the improvised screwdriver.
Magazines cover the rest. The Cheapskate's John Spiral - Street Violence teaches many of the junk weapons. The First Weapons teaches the bone and jawbone pieces. Revolting Peasants teaches the garden fork and spade head weapons. Medieval Armory - May 1993 teaches the forged spiked weapons. Prison Defense teaches the shivs, and Wilderness Survival teaches spear work. Bloody Japanese Wrestling Deathmatch! teaches barbed-wire wrapping.
These magazines, books, traits and occupations teach recipes from this category that have to be learned.

Materials
Nuts and Bolts are the most used input, along with Leather Strips and cloth strips for grips. Screws, Nails, Railroad Spike, Circular Sawblade and Large Branch come up often. Welding jobs burn fuel from a Welding Torch.
The tools come back after each craft. A wrench and a metal drill are used most. Welding needs a welding mask. Forged weapons need tongs, a smithing hammer and a metalworking punch. Kept tools can wear down with use.

Stations
Most recipes are made on any surface, such as a table or counter. Spear binding, shivs and bottle smashing are done in hand. The forged weapons need a forge. Make Spiked Club, Make Spiked Baseball Bat, Make Spiked Cudgel and Make Jawbone Morningstar work at a Simple Forge or better. Forge Mace Head needs the Advanced Forge.
The workstations these recipes run at.

Recipes
Early weapons use scraps. Make Nail-Spiked Weapon turns a bat or cudgel into a nail bat. Make Shiv and Make Glass Shiv give a quick stabbing weapon. Fire Harden Spear and Bind Spear Head make spears from sticks and blades.
Mid-game weapons use heavier parts. Make Railspike Weapon, Make Sawblade Plank, Make Brake Disc Weapon and Make Kettle Maul use heavy junk. Make Jawbone Axe and Make Jawbone Club use animal bone.
Late weapons are welded or forged. Make Scrap Metal Chopper, Make Scrap Metal Shortsword and Make Scrap Metal Sword come from welding. Make Spiked Cudgel and Make Jawbone Morningstar come from the forge.
Every recipe in the Weaponry 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.
