Must-know recipes

Crafting tips that save hours

  • Drag-craft from container. You can craft directly from a chest if the workbench is within 6 tiles — no inventory shuffling needed.
  • Quality scales with station tier. An iron sword from Smithy T2 has +18% damage over T1. Always upgrade before bulk-crafting.
  • Saltpeter spoils in rain. Cover your powder mill — exposed saltpeter loses 20% per in-game day.
