How to Craft Bait in DREADMOOR

To craft bait in DREADMOOR, head over to the Dry Dock and interact with the workbench inside. From here, select the recipe from your list of unlocked options and check that you meet the requirements for materials.

Once you've confirmed the selection, select and click on each individual item included in the bait crafting recipe to assemble the particular kind of bait that you need.

Materials such as Metal Plate and Thermo Coil can be harvested from the overworld. Other crafting materials, such as Chromatic Scales and Fish Meat, require you to process catches in the Grinder or Thresher.

Softgrazer is the specific fish you'll need to catch to harvest Chromatic Stones, so be sure to keep that in mind.
