Recover Materials from Mistaken Crafts

Undo a Bad Recipe

If you've crafted something by mistake or changed your mind about a build, the Salvage Table lets you break it back down into raw materials without waste.

1. Open your Salvage Table by right-clicking it

2. Place the unwanted crafted item into the input slot

3. Look at the 3×3 preview grid—it will show all the ingredients that will be returned

4. If the preview looks correct, click and take any single item from the grid

5. Once you remove the first item, the input item is consumed and the rest of the materials appear in the grid

6. Collect all your returned ingredients

Important: Preview Before Committing

The preview grid shows exactly what you'll get back. If you close the menu without taking anything, your original item returns unharmed. This means you can safely check what a recipe will yield before you commit to breaking it down. Only when you remove the first item from the output grid does the uncrafting actually happen.
