Casualties: Unknown: How to Craft the Material Pouch

Here's how to turn Wood scraps and Scrap metal into a weight-saving pouch in Casualties: Unknown.

The Material pouch gives your crafting materials their own container and cuts the weight of whatever you store in it. You can build one early in Casualties: Unknown with basic materials.

Gather Wood Scraps and Scrap Metal in Casualties: Unknown

Break any wooden block you pass to collect Wood scraps, because wood was in short supply in one run. Since the 1.0 update, wood blocks reportedly drop only Wood scraps. Also collect Scrap metal above 90% condition, plus items with Foliage quality for Rope and Canvas.

Make the Flimsy Knife and a Wood Cube

Turn three Wood scraps and 10 mL of Bio-chem fluid into a Wood cube. This craft requires 4 INT (Intelligence).

Craft a Flimsy knife from a Wood cube and Rope, plus Scrap metal above 90% condition. The knife supplies the Cutting quality, a tag that later recipes check for. Use it with two Rope to make String (x3), and craft one Canvas from three items with Foliage quality.

Cut the Panels, Stick and Nails

Cut Wood panel (x5) from one Wood cube and Stick (x2) from a second Wood cube using the knife. You need three Wood panel pieces in total. The pouch also needs a tool with Hammering quality, and a Stick works as a makeshift hammer.

Combine Scrap metal above 90% condition with 10 mL of Bio-chem fluid to make a Scrap cube. Cut it with the knife to make Nails (x2). The pouch needs only one item with Nails quality.

Craft the Material Pouch in Casualties: Unknown

To craft the Material pouch in Casualties: Unknown, you need 10 INT and three Wood panel pieces. Add two String and one Rope, then one Canvas. Include an item with Nails quality, keep a Stick in your inventory for the Hammering quality, and press Create.

Move your crafting materials into the pouch to lighten your load in Casualties: Unknown. In one example, that reportedly cut total weight from 18.12u to 16.98u (u is the game's weight unit). The pouch weighs 0.75u and holds up to 5u, but takes only crafting materials.

Train Strength While Overloaded in Casualties: Unknown

Carrying more than your weight limit slows you down and gives you the Heavy load status. As of 1.0, being weighed down reportedly earns experience only while you are moving. In one run, STR (Strength) and RES (Resilience) both reached level 14 under a Heavy load.

What to Do Next

Gather Wood scraps and Scrap metal, then craft the Flimsy knife. Use the knife to cut the Wood panel pieces and Nails (x2), and to make the String. Craft the Material pouch, then move your crafting materials into it before you head deeper in Casualties: Unknown.

Make the Flimsy knife first, because it supplies the Cutting quality that the later Material pouch parts need.
