Progress in The Last Caretaker is closely tied to the equipment you build. Almost every useful tool, weapon, or machine must be crafted manually. To do this, you will need two things: unlocked recipes and the correct materials. This The Last Caretaker Crafting Recipes Guide details all crafting recipes in the game based on their tier, and also the materials required to craft them.
Crafting Recipes Guide – The Last Caretaker
Crafting options do not appear automatically. First, you need to visit the Skills menu and spend Skill Points, which you earn each time your character levels up. Each tier in the Skills menu unlocks a new group of items. After unlocking an item with a Skill Point, if required, you can then craft it from the Build tab.
