Crafting

Crafting is a system where players create items using materials at a crafting station.

Crafting is done by opening a crafting station's crafting window with E. Multiple quantities of an item may be ordered, and the materials used may come out of the players inventory or other linked storage

"Speed" skills increase the speed of crafting certain items, and "Efficiency" skills reduce the resources required to craft items. Efficiency skills are most effective if a large number of items is ordered.

When an item finishes crafting, it will show up in the top-most Storage Chest or Stockpile under the storage tab. If no Stockpile or chest is available the item will be available to collect from the table directly.

Building Requirements

Most crafting stations require an enclosed room to function, along with a minimum volume requirement and a requirement that the room be constructed with a certain quantity of a specified block tier. Room volume is calculated as Length * Width * Height of the contained space.

Note that other crafting stations within a room can take up room volume with their requirements. As an example, 2 crafting stations that both use 25m³ cannot both function in a 40m³ space.

Players can see the restrictions affecting a crafting station in its status tab

Power Requirements

Some crafting stations have a power requirement, either a fuel requirement or a grid requirement.

A fuel requirement is satisfied by adding a burnable item into the fuel inventory of the crafting station, under the power tab. Fuel placed in the inventory will be burned at the rate specified in this tab, but only when crafting is happening.

Grid requirements must be fulfilled by having the crafting station in proximity to an energy-generating object such as a Windmill or Combustion Generator. Be careful to use the right type of energy - electrical energy cannot power buildings that make use of mechanical energy, and vice versa.

Crafting Tables

For a list of food recipes, see food.

For a list of skill book recipes, see research.

Some recipes within them are listed as "level 0". This indicates that players can only make this after having learned a skill via a Skill Scroll, but without needing to specialize in that profession. An example of one of these recipes is that of the Soil Sampler.

The Campsite is the first crafting station players acquire. You use it to create a Campfire or Workbench.

It has no building restrictions and will function inside or outside.

It is recommended to remove it as soon as conveniently possible, in order to save valuable space. It does not have any recipes of its' own that cannot be made in another workstation, except for the Workbench.

The Workbench is one of the next crafting station players acquire.

It has no building restrictions and will function inside or outside.

The Campfire is one of the next crafting station players acquire. It is used to create cooked food.

It has no building restrictions and will function inside or outside.

The Carpentry Table is crafted at the Workbench. It is used to create many furniture items.

The Butchery Table is crafted at the Carpentry Table.

The Wainwright Table is crafted at the Carpentry Table. It is used to create carts, roads and ramps.

The Farmers Table is crafted at the Workbench. It is used to create fertilizers and seeds.

The Masonry Table is crafted at the Workbench. It is used to create Mortar and other stone-based recipes, including the Kiln.

To function, the Masonry Table must be placed in a room with at least 25 volume and 18 tier 0 blocks.

The Kiln is crafted at the Masonry Table. It is used to create building materials and the Bloomery.

To function, the Kiln must be placed in a room with at least 45 volume and 32 Tier 1 blocks.

The Bloomery is crafted at the Kiln.

It has no building requirements and will function inside or outside. Tailings created at the Bloomery will be added to the nearest stockpile, where they will seep out pollution.

The Anvil is crafted at the Bloomery. It is used to craft various tools, lighting and crafting stations.

The Sawmill is crafted at the Anvil. It is used to process Logs into Lumber.

The Blast Furnace is crafted at the Anvil. It makes many steel products and provides a better method of smelting.

The Cement Kiln is crafted at the Anvil. It makes Concrete and other concrete items.
