“I find myself returning more and more frequently to my magnificent science machine, busying myself with prototyping new tools to aid in our survival. After all, I must do something to keep myself sane in this strange place...”

Crafting is an in-game mechanic that allows players to craft or make Items and Structures. This is done by selecting an item or structure to be crafted in one of the 19 Crafting Tabs (including DLCs, and Character-Specific tabs). Provided the player has sufficient materials in their inventory and, if necessary, has unlocked the item recipe, they will receive 1 or more of the crafted item. Below are the crafting tables for the different game modes available. The availability of crafting recipes are further affected by game version, the player's world (Game Mode), special Events, etc.

Unlocking[]

Prototype[]

Some items or structures must be "prototyped" at a particular Prototyper or through other means like Blueprints. Unlocking for the first time will grant the player 15 Sanity. Once the item has been unlocked, it can be crafted anywhere, anytime (so long as the required materials are available). Tier 1 items can be unlocked at either a Science Machine or Alchemy Engine. Tier 2 items can only be unlocked at an Alchemy Engine (same with magic items at the Prestihatitator and Shadow Manipulator.

Standing near the Prototyper allows prototyping new recipes. The following is a list of all the Prototypers:

Crafting Station[]

Crafting Station is similar to Prototyper, except that they do not unlock the recipe for the player after they make it, so the player must return to Crafting Station if they want to make the item again. In the Hamlet DLC, the interior areas of Slanty Shanty can be considered to be a hidden Crafting Station. The Key to the City can be carried in the inventory, making it movable unlike other Crafting Stations.

Crafting Tab[]

There are 19 Crafting Tabs in Don't Starve and its DLCs for different Items and Structures that can be crafted.

Crafting Filter[]

In Don't Starve Together, the Crafting menu has been redesigned to accommodate more items, with filters replacing categories.

Crafting Filters are a Don't Starve Together feature in the Crafting Menu that organize craftable items based on filters rather than the tabs used in the single player games. Unlike tabs, the same item can appear in multiple filters.

Some filters are similar to the original Don't Starve crafting tabs while others are new and can help players find items based on criteria like season.

Unimplemented Filters[]

Quick-Craft Tabs[]

In Don't Starve Together, the crafting sidebar UI has been redesigned into Quick-Craft Tabs which allow the player to quickly craft items and structures. The player can use up to 9 pages of quick-craft tabs, with each page holding up to 9 recipes maximum. Keybinds can be set to quickly page left and right between pages. Moreover, mouse-wheeling over a particular tab changes the skin of that item or structure.

Quick-Craft Tabs are a Don't Starve Together feature, replacing the old Crafting tabs.
