About this craft

Your first evening's double barrel is decided in the road barrels, not at the furnace. Metal pipes need a Level 3 bench to craft, so the calculator counts them as is, and on day one every pipe is one you cracked out of a barrel or a crate. Pick up each one you pass while farming. A pair is a gun.

The blueprint is cheap even by Level 1 workbench standards, so a fresh group often learns it early, and the fragments come with any load of ore.

Watch out

Don't feed a spare double barrel to the recycler expecting both pipes back. The ordinary one returns a single pipe and about half the fragments.

No pipes at all? A waterpipe takes none and still wins a doorway, one shell at a time. And once a Level 2 bench stands, the pump shotgun's craft keeps the same two pipes, swapping the fragments for high quality metal and a spring.
