Recipes and crafts<\/span><\/p>\n

The things you can do with a stapler, desk leg, and handful of glass are a little surprising. We’ve got some tips for cooking and crafting your way out of GATE.<\/p>\n

Abiotic Factor: Good Soup<\/strong><\/a>: Your first experiments<\/p>\n

Abiotic Factor: Soup recipes<\/strong><\/a>: Smells like buffs<\/p>\n
