The Crafting Bench is your workshop for everything that is not found in chests. This cheat sheet lists every recipe, its ingredients, and what it does — organized by type so you can quickly find what you need.
Survival Essentials
| Item | Ingredients | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Map | 3 Wood | Shows map (press M) |
| Sun Dial | 5 Scrap | Day/night timer display |
| Bunny Trap | 5 Wood (up to 10×) | Catches 4 Morsels if baited with Carrot |
| Bear Trap | 3 Scrap (up to 8×) | Traps and slows enemies |
Map tip: Craft a Map immediately on Day 1. It costs only 3 Wood and shows the campfire, key locations, and biome zones. Without it you will get lost.
Bear Trap tip: Bear Traps slow down Bears (350 HP) and can be placed at chokepoints around camp for Cultist raids. The Hunter class (40D) starts with 2 Bear Traps, and Legendary Chests can also hold a Bear Trap blueprint. Bear Traps can damage players too, so place them away from your own paths.
Food and Farming
| Item | Ingredients | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Farm Plot | 20 Wood (up to 20×) | Grows crops every 2 days |
| Crock Pot | 15 Wood + 10 Scrap | Makes Stew (no berries); passive hunger fill |
| Chef's Station (Blueprint) | Chef class only | Unlocks Chef recipes with stat buffs |
Farm Plot tip: Build up to 20 Farm Plots for a passive food supply. Plots grow crops automatically every two in-game days. Farmer class (80D) waters plots for rarer crops (Level 1), can grow apple trees from saplings (Level 2), and guarantees a Pumpkin from every watered plot (Level 3).
Crock Pot tip: Cannot use Berries as ingredients. Steak + any vegetable makes a filling Stew. More filling than raw ingredients. Cook (40D) class speeds up the Crock Pot by 20% at Level 2 and has a 25% chance to produce Hearty Stew at Level 3.
Chef's Station Recipes (Chef class only)
| Dish | Ingredients | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Steak Dinner | 1 Steak + 2 Any | 4 forks hunger |
| BBQ Ribs | 1 Ribs + 2 Any | 4 forks hunger + heals HP |
| Carrot Cake | 1 Cake + 2 Carrot | 4 forks + Night Vision 9 min + 10 HP |
| Pumpkin Soup | 1 Pumpkin + 2 Any (Master Pot) | 4 forks + stays warm 2 min |
Carrot Cake note: Night Vision for 9 minutes is enormous for nighttime scouting. The Carrot Cake is one of the best food items in the game for players who need to move at night.
Base Defense
| Item | Ingredients | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Log Wall | 20 Wood | Fortifies camp perimeter |
| Defense Blueprint Spikes | Found in Iron Chests | Placed around base to damage enemies |
| Barbed Wire Blueprint | Found in Gold Chests | Slows and damages enemies |
| Lava Mine Blueprint | Found in Hot Chests | AoE lava mine (Volcanic Biome) |
| Bear Trap | 3 Scrap | Traps enemies |
Utility Structures
| Item | Ingredients | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Teleporter | 15 Wood + 25 Scrap + 1 Cultist Gem | Requires 2+ teleporters to work; fast travel between them |
| Respawn Capsule | 40 Wood + 40 Scrap + 1 Gem of the Forest | Auto-respawns a dead player |
| Weather Machine | Same as Respawn Capsule | Stops rain for 3 days |
| Temporal Accelerometer | Same as Respawn Capsule | Skips the next night |
Teleporter tip: Incredibly useful for late-game runs when you need to move between the Cultist Stronghold, biomes, and camp quickly. Build one at camp and one at the Stronghold.
Temporal Accelerometer tip: it skips the next night once charged, which saves real time on long runs. Beds also move the day counter forward (see below).
Gem of the Forest: Required for the Respawn Capsule, Weather Machine, and Temporal Accelerometer. Built from 4 Gem of the Forest Fragments, which drop from the Cultist Stronghold, Ruby Chests, and from Cultists post-Day 100.
Healing Items
| Item | Ingredients | Bench Required | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bandage | 2× Bunny Foot + 2× Wolf Pelt | Anvil (craftable) | Heals ~40 HP |
Bandage tip: Bunny Feet drop from Bunnies with about a 1 in 6 chance. Wolf Pelts are a rare drop from Wolves (75 HP, 20 damage). The Medic class (40D) revives teammates 5× faster at Level 1.
Campfire Fuel Requirements (Upgrade Costs)
| Level | Logs | Coal | Fuel Canisters | Oil Barrels | Biofuel |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| L1 → L2 | 6 | 1 (plus 1–2 Wood) | — | — | — |
| L2 → L3 | 11 | 2+ | 2+ | — | — |
| L3 → L4 | 50–75+ | 23+ | 9–12+ | — | 30+ |
| L4 → L5 | 70–120+ | 45+ | 19–25+ | 4+ | 30+ |
| L5 → L6 | 275–350+ | 170+ | 35+ | 8+ | 80+ |
Level 6 note: Getting to Level 6 (Firemaking IV badge, 2 stars, 4 Diamonds) is a major late-game investment. Lumberjack class (70D) makes the log grind faster. Oil Barrels only spawn in the Level 5–6 campfire areas, and Gold and Legendary Chests can also hold one.
Crafting Bench Upgrade Requirements
| Level | Unlock | Notable Recipes |
|---|---|---|
| L1 | Starting bench | Basic recipes such as the Map (the wiki does not tag every recipe with a level) |
| L2 | Upgrade from L1 | Log Gate, Valentine's Flower Pot |
| L3 | Upgrade from L2 | Boost Pad, Biofuel Processor |
| L4 | Crafting badge | Ammo Crate |
| L5 | Cultist Gems + Gem of Forest | Respawn Capsule, Weather Machine, Temporal Accelerometer |
Scholarship badge (2.5★, 6D): Use a stone tablet to upgrade a Crafting Bench item. Tablets come from exploration events such as the Jungle Fighting Pit, the Caverns, the Ice Temple and the Beekeeper.
Anvil Recipes
The Anvil is a separate crafting station (not the Crafting Bench) for metalwork:
| Item | Ingredients | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bandage | 2× Bunny Foot + 2× Wolf Pelt | Only healing item craftable |
The Meteor Anvil (Astrogeology badge area) also allows crafting of Obsidiron items. Crafting 5 items at the Meteor Anvil earns the Astrogeology badge (1★, 5D).
More Recipes From the Wiki
The wiki lists each cost once. Earlier versions of this sheet repeated some quantities, so use the figures below.
| Item | Cost | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Supply Crate | 3 Wood | Lets you use flames and furniture in game |
| Torch | 6 Wood + 6 Scrap (up to 10x) | Expands the safe zone slightly |
| Compass | 3 Scrap | Shows the Fairy, the missing children and your heading |
| Shelf | 2 Scrap | Neat storage |
| Wood Rain Storage | 5 Scrap | Keeps wood dry |
| Lightning Rod | 8 Scrap | Draws lightning away from players |
| Radar | 15 Wood + 10 Scrap | Detects key places by using Scrap |
| Boost Pad (L3) | 15 Wood + 10 Scrap | Speed boost once charged, about 5 seconds of holding Interact |

Beds Advance the Day Counter
Every bed in the recipe list raises the day counter by 1.
| Bed | Cost |
|---|---|
| Old Bed | 20 Wood |
| Regular Bed | 5 Scrap |
| Good Bed | 10 Wood + 10 Scrap |
| Giant Bed | 20 Wood + 30 Scrap + 1 Cultist Gem |
For a progress-focused run, the Regular Bed is the cheapest option in raw materials: 5 Scrap. Check each bed's description in game for any limit on use.
Event Cooking Pots
The Halloween Spooky Crockpot costs 15 Wood + 10 Scrap, the same as a normal Crock Pot, and also cooks Halloween foods. The Thanksgiving Crock Pot costs 4 Diamonds and cooks Thanksgiving foods.
Common Mistakes
- Reading the old doubled costs. A Sun Dial is 5 Scrap, not 10.
- Skipping the Cultist Gem. Teleporter, Oil Drill, Ammo Crate and Giant Bed each need one.
- Putting Berries in the Crock Pot. They cannot go inside.
- Building a Biofuel Processor without a Tier 3 bench. It needs bench level 3.
- Placing Bear Traps on your own routes. They can damage players too.
