Cronos: The New Dawn: Crafting Material Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide

In Cronos: The New Dawn, resource management equals survival. While you will find occasional finished items, your primary source of healing and ammunition will be the items you fabricate yourself.

There are only two types of crafting materials in the game—Chemicals and Metal Scraps—, but they are the lifeblood of your journey through the timelines. You can craft items at any time through your inventory or the quick-access menu.

In Cronos: The New Dawn, the game does not pause when you open your inventory. To survive an ambush, you must master Quick Crafting. Here is how to do it:

By holding the weapon or healing shortcut (e.g., Triangle on PS5), you can instantly craft a compatible item if you have the required materials and an open inventory slot.
Crafting materials occupy their own dedicated resource pool and do not take up standard inventory slots. However, the items you make from them do.

Note: If your Resource Limit is full, craft a few items immediately. This clears space to pick up more materials in the field and ensures you never leave valuable scrap behind.

Crafting materials are commonly found in breakable crates, on workshop benches, and hidden in the side rooms of the Steelworks and Abbey. Obviously, their locations have been clearly marked on our unique interactive Cronos: The New Dawn maps, and they are also listed below.
