Warning: Pre-Alpha
This game is currently in pre-alpha, and at this time, I do not recommend running a game in it yet. Every single game mechanic and piece of lore is subject to potentially breaking changes.

Technology Level
Every item in the game has a technology level which goes from 1 to 5, and determines who can craft the item:
1
Rudimentary: Anybody can craft this item - you just need the right ingredients.
2
Specialized: These items require some dedicated training to assemble. To craft this item, you need an ability like the specialist perk.
3
Expert: These items require an advanced level of mastery to make. To craft this item, you need a second ability, like the expert perk.
4
Industrial: Crafting this item has become impossible since the Flare - the supply chains have broken down, or you'd need machinery which just doesn't exist anymore. If you find one of these items, hold on to it, they have become extremely valuable.
5
Unknown: Crafting this item wasn't possible before the Flare. You're not sure if those even exist...
Note: the feats required to craft tech 2 and tech 3 items are divided by item type. For example, you might be able to craft tech 2 melee weapons and tech 3 drugs, but only tech 1 armors.
