Time to get crafty!
While there's a lot to find in the wasteland, Fallout Shelter transforms the junk you find on quests and excursions into valuable equipment and stylish themes. Crafting, however, takes time and effort to do. You'll need to unlock the right workshops first, and collect enough junk to make something useful.
Crafting doesn't have to be difficult, but it will take some planning. From gathering the junk you need to building the right rooms to craft in, there's a lot to account for. We've broken down what each workshop is for and how to craft the items you need to survive in the wasteland.
How To Use The Weapon Workshop
To unlock the Weapon Workshop, you'll need 22 dwellers in your vault. It takes up three room spaces, so you'll need to plan ahead before building it.
You can use junk to craft weapons by assigning a dweller to the workshop. Some weapons can only be crafted, and cannot be found in the wasteland.
To reduce the time it takes to craft a weapon, try training your dwellers corresponding Special stat!
Weapons come in three rarities: Common, Rare, and Legendary. While you'll come across more Common weapons, Legendary weapons will deal more damage. However, it costs more time and caps to craft them.

How To Use The Outfit Workshop
The Outfit Workshop requires 30 dwellers in the vault before you can unlock it. This workshop can be used to craft new outfits, which will boost different stats for your dwellers. Better stats help them survive and be more efficient in their jobs.
Assign a dweller to the Outfit Workshop, then enter the room and select "Craft". You can choose from any available items, and you'll use junk to craft the new articles of clothing.
