Crafting is a gameplay feature where new items can be created by combining crafting materials. To craft an item, place the item's necessary components in the middle of the inventory by right-clicking each item individually. When done with the right items, a gear will appear below the items in the inventory. Right-clicking this gear will create the desired item, which can be put into the inventory by right-clicking it again.
For example, to craft a Molotov, place cloth and booze on the crafting mat in the center of the inventory. When the gear appears (It will appear instantly if done correctly), right-click it, and then right-click the Molotov that appears in place of the Cloth and Booze.
A full list of all the available crafting materials that are in the game so far can be found here.
