Basic Crafting

Basic Crafting means that an item can be created from "Crafting" menu, and you don't need a crafting station to do it.

These are the early-game items: Torch, Campfire, Flags for teleporter bookmarks, primitive weapons, etc. Some race-specific items (such as foods for X'i) are also in this category.

Note that UI of "Basic Crafting" menu in FU has more than one tab (unmodded Starbound had only 1 tab, so a new player might not notice the second tab). Rarely craftable items like Bone Mace were moved from the first tab to other tabs.
