Deceasedcraft Blueprint Update: Key Loot Changes and Fresh Armor Poi Locations
Acquiring a schematic paper does not grant instant protection. The updated crafting pipeline enforces a strict technical separation between soft textiles and rigid ballistic inserts. Understanding this pipeline prevents the common mistake of hauling raw kevlar sheets to an unupgraded crafting table.
The tailoring station recipes govern soft armor construction. Players use this workbench to turn synthetic fibers, treated leather, and nylon thread into functional carrier vests, utility rigs, and padded undergarments. Without an upgraded tailoring station, you cannot construct the base harness required to hold ballistic components. The station itself requires cured hides, steel sewing needles, and high-tensile wire, making mid-game leather farming an absolute requirement.
Once you hold the base carrier, manufacturing shifts entirely to the specialized armor crafting bench. This heavy-duty station handles the cold-forging and ceramic-baking processes needed for level III and IV inserts. To forge hard inserts using your discovered blueprints, the bench requires electrical power connectivity and access to specialized presses. Inserting unworked steel or raw ceramic plates into a vest without running them through the proper blueprint routine results in brittle gear that fractures after a handful of hits.
