Quick Crafting Answer
If a craft is blocked, the problem is usually one of three things: the blueprint is not unlocked, the station is wrong, or the material list is incomplete. Check those in that order before farming blindly.
Best handoffs: Materials when sub-parts are missing, Blueprints when the recipe is still locked, Building when the craft only matters as part of a larger layout, and Research Room when station progression is the blocker.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why is a recipe missing? Usually because the blueprint is not unlocked yet, the required station is different, or a progression gate is still closed.
- What should I prepare before a crafting session? Bulk common materials first, then refined materials, then your rare route items. That reduces repeated supply runs.
- Should I spend Gold or craft it myself? Buy cheap utility parts when the time saved is worth more than the Gold. Craft premium or bottleneck items when shop stock is the constraint.
- Which pages pair best with this guide? Use Materials for gathering routes and Building when your craft list is tied to a house plan.
