Crafting Tier List: Don't Waste Your Materials

Resources are finite. There are only 50 Iron Nodes on the entire map. If you spend 20 Iron crafting a "Reinforced Bucket", you are griefing your own team. In this guide, we rank every craftable item based on its Utility per Material Cost (UpMC).

S-Tier: The Essentials

Craft these immediately. If you don't have these, you are playing wrong.

1. Iron Pickaxe

Cost: 15 Iron, 50 Wood
Why: The Stone Pickaxe gathers 1 Iron per hit. The Iron Pickaxe gathers 3. It pays for itself in less than 2 minutes. It is the single most important investment in the early game.

2. Medkit (Large)

Cost: 3 Aloe, 2 Cloth, 1 Alcohol
Why: Bandages heal 20 HP over 5 seconds. Medkits heal 80 HP instantly. In a boss fight, you don't have 5 seconds. You need instant health.

3. Wooden Gate (Upgrade Level 2)

Cost: 200 Wood, 50 Stone
Why: The Level 1 door has 500 HP. The Level 2 Gate has 2000 HP. It buys you 4x the time during a raid. Always upgrade your door before your walls.

A-Tier: Strong Investments

• Compound Bow: High DPS, silent. Essential for hunting deer.
• Furnace (Stone): Required to smelt ore. Cannot progress without it.
• Lantern: Portable light source. Much better than torches because it doesn't burn out.

B-Tier: Niche Utility

• Bear Trap: Good for defense, but can trap your own teammates if they are blind.
• Fishing Rod: Infinite food source, but boring gameplay. Good for AFK players.
• Leather Armor: Better than nothing, but you replace it with Iron Armor quickly.

F-Tier: Noob Traps

DO NOT CRAFT THESE. EVER.

1. The Wooden Spear

Cost: 30 Wood
Why: It breaks in 10 hits. It deals less damage than the Stone Axe. It has a bad hitboxes. It is a waste of wood. Use the Axe instead.

2. Golden Sword

Cost: 50 Gold Bars
Why: It looks cool, but it deals the same damage as Iron. Gold is used for trading with the Merchant, not for fighting. Crafting this is literally throwing money away.

3. Signal Flare

Cost: 10 Gunpowder
Why: It calls a supply drop... eventually. But usually, it just alerts every PVPer on the server to your location. You are paying 10 Gunpowder to get raided.
