The concept of crafting junk for one time use is super dope. I had a lot of trouble with inventory management and getting even the first fire jug to craft.
One tip would be to allow the items on the ground to stay in existence for longer and allow me to pick them back up. I ran over got two jugs, put them on the workbench. Then got two sticks came back and in loading gum on the sticks the gas jugs disappeared.
Overall though, great concept.
The in-game art showing how to craft was super awesome too
