Crafting Recipes

5:52 In Enshrouded 1.0, Nails come from the Blacksmith (1 Metal Scraps makes 2 Nails), metal bars from the Smelter (10 Copper Ore and 10 Charcoal make 10 Copper Bars), and Charcoal from the Charcoal Kiln (12 Wood Logs and 3 Dirt make 10), according to AllThingsHow's 1.0 recipe lists of Oct 16 to 23, 2026. Those numbers are new: Keen Games' 1.0 highlights video (Oct 15, 2026) says it "reworked early crafting recipes to reduce frustrating resource bottlenecks", and the changelog adds that armor sets need fewer resources at every tier, the Alchemical Base needs "far fewer parts", the glider needs less Shroud Adhesive and stone recipes use the local region's stone (Keen, Oct 14, 2026). So any recipe guide from before Oct 15, 2026 may be wrong. Keen publishes no recipe list of its own; the quantities below are AllThingsHow's, read from the 1.0 game, and every resource's details screen in 1.0 also says where to find more. Which survivor owns which station is on Crafting Stations, and where the raw materials are is on Materials and Ores.

Quick facts

Nails, Charcoal and Metal Sheets

These three hold up most early building and crafting, and all of them come from the Blacksmith, the first survivor the 1.0 main quest has you free (his rescue is your second level-up, per Keen's changelog; see Survivors).

The stations themselves, per the same lists: the Charcoal Kiln costs 20 Stone and the Forge 30 Stone, 10 Metal Scraps, 10 Charcoal and 12 Wood Logs, both from the Blacksmith (AllThingsHow, Oct 22, 2026; Nails, Oct 16, 2026). Metal Scraps are the early bottleneck because the starter tools, the Forge, Nails, Metal Sheets and the grappling hook all need them (AllThingsHow tips, Oct 17, 2026).

Metal bars: Smelter and Blast Furnace

Bars come from two stations. The Smelter (50 Fired Bricks and a Crucible, from the Blacksmith) makes ten at a time with Charcoal; the later Blast Furnace (20 Fired Bricks, a Bellows, 10 Lumps of Clay, 10 Iron Bars and 30 Sand) makes twenty at a time with Coal (AllThingsHow, Oct 22, 2026).

The ore regions are AllThingsHow's 1.0 "materials by region" list (Oct 22, 2026). A batch takes from 3:30 minutes (copper) to 12 minutes (Celestium) in those lists, and the world setting for workstation speed scales it; see World Settings and Difficulty. Keen's 1.0 changelog says factory recipes players need in bulk now yield more and run faster.

Linen, String, Fabric and Leather

All from the Huntress's stations except the seedbed; the Loom itself needs 30 Linen, 10 Nails and a Bronze Bar among its parts (AllThingsHow).

2:27 Flax is the slow part, and Keen's own tip still holds. Its Beginner Tips video (Feb 7, 2024, early access) says flax is "scattered only in a few spots around the world", but one flax at the seedbed yields "a whopping 10 flax seeds", and that the seedbed needs water. Since 1.0, small plants grow faster than before and large ones slower (Keen, Oct 14, 2026).

Resin, Salt and Sulfur

2:12 Resin comes from trees, and the color matters. In the same Keen video, green trees have "a small chance of dropping resin", but trees with brown leaves are "almost guaranteed" to give one to three each time. AllThingsHow's 1.0 list says stumps and red-leaved trees. Resin goes into the first Fire Bolt spells (2 Resin for 20 charges), wall and standing torches and the first Flame upgrade. Enshrouded has no item called glue: the sticky materials are Resin, Tar and the Shroud Adhesive the better gliders use.

Salt is a Springlands material: Keen's own store screenshot of the Ectoplasm Press calls it "mined in Springlands Shroud", and AllThingsHow's 1.0 tips send you to the Egerton Salt Mines through the Huntress's quest "Salt Mine Location". It cures fur and leather and goes into Nitrate.

Sulfur is a Kindlewastes material. AllThingsHow (Oct 16, 2026) finds it as bright yellow patches on the cliffs and cave walls of the red-rock canyons, mined with a pickaxe, and in Scavenger loot: most Scavenger types drop 1 or 2 half the time. It cannot be crafted. It goes into Black Powder, Enshrouded Oil, the Ghost Glider, Fire Bolt V and poisoned arrows.

Explosives

Recipes from AllThingsHow's 1.0 bombs list (Oct 23, 2026), whose bomb damage scales with Dexterity. Keen rebalanced the explosive bombs at 1.0 because they did "an unintentionally large amount of damage to very hard building materials" (1.0 changelog).

Shroud Liquid, Shroud Core and Goo

Shroud Liquid cannot be crafted. AllThingsHow (Oct 16, 2026) gathers it from pale, round growths in Shroud valleys, 1 to 3 each, most of them in the Springlands and Revelwood Shroud; no enemy drops it. It is needed for the first Flame upgrade (5), the Shroud Core (10) and the Improved Grappling Hook (2).

Shroud Spores drop from Shroud enemies in the Springlands and Revelwood. A Medium Magic Chest is a Medium Chest plus a Shroud Core and 2 Goo (AllThingsHow, Carpenter recipes). The fog's rules are on The Shroud. One check on these lists: AllThingsHow's Purified Slime recipe at the Ectoplasm Press (3 Charcoal, 10 Salt, 3 Toxic Slime and 1 Wood Acid for 10) names the same four materials as Keen's own store screenshot below.

Bandages and potions

Potion recipes are AllThingsHow's (Alchemist recipes); its Shroud Survival Flask recipe differs from older guides, so check yours in game. Keen's support tips say bandages "only heal over time" but are "still useful when running out of health potions mid exploring", and recommend drinking Shroud Survival Potions before entering the fog (Keen). Since 1.0, drinking a flask while its buff runs extends it (1.0 changelog). Food recipes are on Food and Cooking.

Glider and grappling hook

From AllThingsHow's glider and grappling hook guides (Oct 17, 2026; hook). Older guides list 25 Shroud Adhesive for the Extraordinary Glider; 15 fits Keen's 1.0 note that "less Shroud Adhesive is now needed for the glider". Shroud Wood comes from dead trees under the Shroud. How to use both tools is on Glider, Grappling Hook and Fast Travel.

First recipes and armor materials

The opening recipes, per AllThingsHow's workbench list (Oct 2026): a Flame Altar is 5 Stone of any kind, the Workbench 8 Wood Logs and 3 String, the first pickaxe and axe 4 Twigs, 1 Stone and 1 String each, a Lockpick 2 Metal Scraps or Obsidian, and Wooden Arrows 2 Twigs for 10. Keen adds that higher-tier locks need Archaic Lockpicks, which start in Cinder's Cradle (1.0 changelog).

Armor and weapon recipes follow the region bars above (bronze, iron, silver, gold, then Celestium), with Fabric, Leather and Wool for the light sets. Since 1.0 you do not hunt for armor recipes: "every time the Flame gets upgraded, the armor sets for the following crafting tier get automatically unlocked", and every armor set recipe needs fewer resources than before (Keen). Upgrades cost runes, which you get by salvaging gear, and legendary items need legendary runes one upgrade step later than in early access. The sets are on Armor Sets, the weapons on Weapons.

3:34 Store all of these in magic chests. Keen's Forging the Path highlights (Apr 21, 2026) introduce the Quick Stack Station, which sorts your pockets "into the chest around you", and let you "build directly from magic chests", pulling materials from nearby chests even with none in your backpack; stations read magic chests the same way.
