What it can make

Watermelon can be cut into slices with a saw, axe, or knife or smashed into chunks with a blunt weapon.

Recipes are still based on build 41, and are planned to be revamped to build 42 at a later date, depending on the game's crafting system improvement.

Effective chance calculations are based off of default 'apocalypse' loot settings, with no luck modifier, and average zombie density. The higher the density of zombies in an area, the higher the effective chance of an item spawning. Chance is also influenced by the lucky and unlucky traits. Duplicate entries do exist, but have been removed for clarity.
