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 29 Crafting Tabs (including DLCs, Don't Starve Together and Character-Specific tabs).

Trivia
- Prior to the Hungry for your Hunger update, the Shadow Manipulator functioned as a "level 3" crafting station. It could research all the same items as the Alchemy Engine and Science Machine before the science and magic crafting trees were separated.
- In the Shipwrecked DLC, the Sea Lab serves the same function as the Alchemy Engine, but can only be placed on the Ocean allowing the player to prototype new recipes at sea.
