Craft guide question

[Olaf Rojo]

Hello, masters! I have a question. Could someone tell me specifically which file in the game folder would contain the crafting guide? What I want is to have it as an editable file, like a Word document, so I can print the guide. Is that possible?

I don't think that's necessary since all crafting recipes are in the handbook, unlike that other block game.

That's not possible without a lot more work than it is worth. The handbook combines the contents of a couple of json files (language, shape, recipes, etc pp) into one coherent view.

Assuming you're after notes to stick on a bulletin board for quick reference while playing, instead of going to the handbook every time...it's probably a lot easier and faster to look up specific things in the handbook, write down the information you find most relevant, and then use that for your quick-notes. Otherwise you're going to be printing out several many pages worth of material.

One another important thing to note about Vintage Story--it's not as simple as just crafting recipes, when it comes to crafting. Some things require multiple blocks, some things require multiple steps, and a lot of items/methods cross-reference each other. It's not unusual at all to look up a recipe in the handbook, and then need to go look through a few others pages to figure out exactly what you need to do to get a specific thing.
