Dev Log 10.22.25

We’re releasing the initial crafting update today, so we’d like to do a quick summary of what’s going to be in the update – along with some spoiler-esque info on what can be made and found as a result!

To start with, we’ll be adding two new crafting mechanisms: benches and machines. The benches will require your time for crafting, while the machines will be able to craft in the background as you go about your day.

There will be two initial benches: the cooking bench and the carpentry bench. Right now you can cook food at the cooking bench and process materials and build machines at the carpentry bench.

In each bench you will find recipes according to 5 different badge levels: novice, apprentice, adept, expert, master. The more you craft recipes from a lower level, the more experience you will gain to reach the next badge level. Some recipes will come with the benches themselves, while some will need to be purchased or found.

Default cooking bench recipes will be: Toast (novice), Trail Mix (novice), Peeled Grapes (novice), Boiled Egg (apprentice), Cheese and Crackers (apprentice), and Bread (apprentice).

Default carpentry bench recipes will be: Composter (novice), Carpentry Bench (apprentice), Oak Barrel (apprentice), Mash’n’Heater (adept), Tokenizer (adept), Tumble Temper (adept), Loom’n’Spinner (adept, Smelt’n’Form (adept), Mix’n’Still (adept), Large Oak Barrel (expert), and Giant Oak Barrel (Master).
