Terraria is an action and adventure game developed in a sandbox environment. The game features several crafting stations and recipes that can be used to progress along with the game. According to Terraria, crafting is defined as combining one or more materials in the game, to a completely different item, with the help of Crafting Stations along with the use of Recipes. Although crafting is a little different across various versions of Terraria, but the fundamentals are entirely the same. This guide will help the players of Terraria to with all the crafting stations along with recipes.

Now, talking about the gameplay, as it is an action-adventure game in a sandbox environment, the game is two dimensional. Still, the players find the game addictive to continue playing. You get several in-game fun like combats, crafting, mining, and recipes, which you can use while you progress the game. As we discuss this guide in favor of Crafting Stations and Recipes, we will discuss everything we know. So if you are one of those users who want to know everything about crafting and recipes, you are in the right place. Without wasting any more time, let’s get started.

Crafting Basics

You have to access the crafting menu in the game by clicking on the “inventory” key. That will bring up a pop-up menu that will show the inventory and equipment in different slots. It will, however, include other unnecessary options as well. You can see the crafting menu located in the bottom left of the screen.

On desktop computers, you can click on the inventory button using your mouse to do the same. Moreover, you will also be guided by the proximity of the nearby crafting stations as well. Now when you select an item from the list, you can see the crafting recipe appear. To navigate through this menu, use your mouse scroll wheel. You can also click on the Hammer-like icon below crafting. To select an item, just click on that and click on it again to start crafting. Whenever you craft an item, your cursor will change its icon to the crafted item. However, there are modifiers with random availability that can alter the quality. Let us now move on to understand crafting stations.

Crafting Stations

Crafting Stations allows the players to craft various items in the game. When you enter the inventory screen, you will see the crafting window in the bottom left corner of the screen. Moreover, when your player is in close proximity to any crafting station with the right ingredients, the bar on the bottom gets expanded with all the available item choices. The player should be standing within three tiles horizontally and vertically upwards along with 2 tiles vertically downwards to get this feature activated. Currently, there are 33 crafting stations available in total.
