Survival Crafting

A playbook for survival-crafting games — the gather → craft → build loop, survival needs, the
crafting/tech progression, and base building. This is a compositional skill: it orchestrates
inventory data, world content, persistence, and threats. It does not re-teach those primitives;
it defines the loop and the pressure systems (needs, scarcity, escalation) that make survival
tense rather than tedious.

When to use

Use when the player gathers resources, crafts items/structures, manages survival needs, and
builds a base against escalating threats: survival sandbox, crafting/base-building game.

Use when designing needs (hunger/thirst/temperature), a crafting tech tree, gathering loops,
or base placement/building.

When not to use: crafting as a minor RPG feature → rpg. Permadeath grid dungeon →
roguelike. For inventory/items as data assets, use godot-resources /
unity-scriptableobjects; for world generation, procedural-gen.
