Material chains: Lignin, Copper and Eco Plank
On this page
Count refining ingredients before the final tool craft. Pruners Lv.2 need Copper Bar and Flexible Lumber; Battery Lv.3 needs Copper Bar and Lignin. Their similar station gates hide different gathering costs.
Refining recipes
| Material | Input for one | Station | Energy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Copper Bar | 5 Copper Scraps | Refining Lv.2 | 2 |
| Flexible Lumber | 5 Rattan | Refining Lv.2 | 2 |
| Lignin | 5 Bioluminescent Ivy | Refining Lv.2 | 2 |
| Eco Plank | 5 Cardboard | Refining Lv.3 | 3 |
The first three base recipes take 30 seconds each; Eco Plank takes 5 seconds. These are recipe times before applicable modifiers, not a measured gathering route or a promise about total completion time.
Pruners Lv.2 from gathered materials
The upgrade needs the previous Pruners, 2 Copper Bar and 2 Flexible Lumber. Starting with neither refined ingredient, prepare 10 Copper Scraps and 10 Rattan. Four refining actions cost 8 energy, followed by the tool’s separate 7-energy craft.
That totals 15 energy spent across actions. The final tool still needs only a 7-energy payment at once. Its Murky Waters recipe unlock and Project Station Lv.2 requirement remain separate.
Lignin for Battery Lv.3
Two Lignin require 10 Ivy. Add 15 Copper Scraps for the three Copper Bar in the battery recipe, then the previous Battery Lv.2. Five refining actions cost 10 energy and the final upgrade costs another 10.
The Ivy guide explains the Pruners requirement that opens this gathering chain. Use the crafting planner stage by stage; already-owned refined materials should not be counted again as missing raw inputs.
