I really enjoy this game. I've only found partial recipe lists online though which is kind of annoying. I'm usually holding so much junk its not funny. And I'm really not sure what half the stuff does. I did manage to make a crazy X-ray type helmet that completely removed the shadows/LOS thing (basically I could see everything around me regardless of walls and such). On Easy I don't see the point in playing anything but a Marine. It only takes a level or two before you have enough skills to open most items and you start with the amazing auto pistol AND an assault rifle.
