Every recipe, and what it costs in logs

99 recipes, grouped by where you make them. Search by the thing you want or by an ingredient you already have, then open any row to see its cost in raw materials — the number the in-game menu does not show you.

01Before you search

Three things the recipe list assumes you know

None of these are explained in the crafting menu, and all three change what you should make next.

By hand vs at a station

C opens hand recipes anywhere. Everything else needs you to walk to a station and press F. The hand version of a recipe is usually worse: one log splits into one plank by hand and four at a workbench.

Recipes reveal themselves

A recipe stays hidden until you have held its materials. Finding a new material also adds a Journal discovery, so exploring literally lengthens your recipe list. A page like this one can show more than your character can see.

Can make

The crafting menu has a “Can make” toggle that hides anything you cannot afford right now. It reads your pack live, which is why it beats any list on a website.

03Stations

What each station costs to build

Stations are placed from Build (B) under Stations. To remove one you own, open Build and choose Disassemble.

Workbench

Stations

Build cost

  • 4× Plank

The first thing you build and the one you come back to most. Stone tools, every handle, bags, bows and animal parts.

Campfire

Stations

Build cost

  • 4× Stone Chunk
  • 3× Wood Log

Cooking, charcoal and your respawn point. Placed early enough it doubles as the safest place on the map.

Smelter

Stations

Build cost

  • 16× Stone Chunk
  • 6× Wood Log

The gate between stone and metal. Every ingot in the game passes through one of these.

Stonecutter

Stations

Build cost

  • 12× Stone Chunk
  • 2× Stick

Masonry in bulk, and the only source of a whetstone — which quietly saves more metal than it costs.

Loom

Stations

Build cost

  • 4× Plank
  • 4× Stick
  • 2× Rope

Fiber into cloth without hunting a single animal.

Forge

Stations

Build cost

  • 10× Cut Stone
  • 4× Charcoal

Where metal becomes a tool head. The forging itself is a short minigame with a grade at the end.

Anvil

Stations

Build cost

  • 5× Iron Ingot
  • 4× Cut Stone
  • 2× Wood Log

Repairs only. It makes nothing, which is why it is easy to skip and expensive to skip for long.

Inscription Table

Stations

Build cost

  • 6× Plank
  • 4× Stone Chunk
  • 2× Charcoal

Turns magic flowers into inscriptions, and inscriptions into learned spells.

04Forge

Heads are priced in ingots, not in recipes

Every metal head and blade is made at a forge, through a short forging minigame. The only thing that changes between them is how many ingots the head costs — so they are listed here as a matrix rather than as twenty-four rows that say the same thing.

A dash means the current build has no head of that kind in that metal. Heads are assembled at a workbench with a handle, and optionally a binding.
