In this guide
Understand stations, recipe unlocks, skill levels, materials, and production time. The information below has been rewritten from the current references and organized for practical use.
Four production paths
Cooking, Woodcrafting, Blacksmithing, and Stone Refinery work differently. The recipe menu should be read for station, ingredients, skill requirement, and time before committing valuable resources.
- Cooking and Woodcrafting rely heavily on learned recipes.
- Blacksmithing recipes are available early but require the proper skill and metal.
- Stone refining becomes important for advanced mine and magic systems.
Blacksmithing example
The anvil outside the blacksmith displays craft time, level requirement, and ingredients. Copper tool upgrades use ingots and require an appropriate Blacksmithing level, making ore planning part of farm progression.
- Upgrade the tool that removes your biggest daily bottleneck.
- Use time-reduction and material-saving perks when crafting in volume.
- Keep enough ore for story repairs before spending everything on equipment.
