Check the chemistry station, that's what I do
I haven't found anything else other than the chemistry station so far, but I'm still exploring the game. I'd like a location for all these herbs on the map when you find them, otherwise its gonna get confusing.
bloodleaf are good I forget what chem but something i use and for cooking too.
Glowing Fungus is the one I keep a lookout for, helps keep my radiation in check. Radaway is too expensive at this time
I think for the most part if an item is found in the JUNK tab in you inventory then they are ment for crafting.
I've never had a shortage of Radaway's or RadX. I got so many of the other chems that I've started selling off my excess since I never use them. The Chem station seems to be completely pointless to me. Course the only food I make is the Glue Stew so I can have more adhesive's for crafting weapons. I think they just did a very poor job of creating any real 'need' for food/water or chems this time around.
well the chem station might be useless to you, but to someone who plays in a different style, it could be very useful. Just depends. You must have a high endurance character with HP perks maybe. That's the beauty of FO, theres no wrong way to play.
