	Manual crafting is the most basic form of crafting, it is done directly in the player's inventory. To manually craft an object, open the player's inventory with {{keybinding\|E}} ({{Keybinding\|X}} on [[Nintendo Switch version\|Nintendo Switch]]), and select an object to manually craft on the right. Left click for one, right click for five, and shift click to make as many as possible. If the image of the item is grayed out, ensure you have the materials necessary to craft the object. If you lack a resource, it will be shown highlighted in <span style="color:#FF0000">red</span> text if you mouse-over the product. Materials that you don't have but you can craft will be highlighted in <span style="color:#~~FF530D~~">orange</span> text, and will be chain-crafted to reach the product you selected. This is an advantage over automatic crafting using machines, which do not automatically create intermediate ingredients.

	While manually crafting, there will be icons in the bottom left of the screen, which shows the current crafting operation. When an item is selected for crafting, the resources will be preemptively taken from the player's inventory. If that operation is then canceled, the items will be fully returned to the player.

	~~== Recipe difficulties ==~~

	When [[map generator\|generating a world]], the player can choose between normal and expensive recipes (expensive mode). The expensive recipes represent another challenge beyond the "vanilla" game with normal recipes (normal mode) because they change some common ratios and have higher resource requirements.
