Crafting

Combine resources and materials to craft buildings, items, and upgrades. Crafting is the core progression loop in FuelCraft.

How Crafting Works

Select a recipe from the Crafting panel, confirm the required resources, and start the craft. Each craft takes a set amount of time to complete. Once finished, the item appears in your inventory ready to be placed or used.

Recipe Categories

Recipes are organized into the following categories:

  • T1 Materials — Basic materials crafted directly from base resources (e.g., Planks, Bricks, Glass).
  • T2 Materials — Advanced materials crafted from T1 materials.
  • Residential — Buildings in the Residential chain, providing balanced YP.
  • Industrial — Buildings in the Industrial chain, granting crafting speed bonuses.
  • Military — Buildings in the Military chain, boosting combat power.
  • Knowledge — Buildings in the Knowledge chain, improving upgrade roll outcomes.

Queue Limits

You can have up to 5 crafts running simultaneously in your crafting queue. Plan your crafts strategically to maximize throughput and minimize idle time.

Your queue slots free up the moment a craft completes, so stagger craft times when possible.

Cancelling Crafts

You may cancel an in-progress craft at any time. Cancelling refunds the base resources used but any FUEL spent on the craft is not returned.

FUEL Costs

Most crafting recipes require a small amount of FUEL in addition to resources. The FUEL cost scales with the tier and complexity of the item being crafted. FUEL spent on crafting is burned, permanently reducing the total supply.
