Recipes

Data updated 29 Oct 2026

The 456 recipes include 355 standard crafts, 69 Conveyor versions and 29 Star versions, and 185 of them change when you take the right perk. Pick a craft to see what it costs now, what it pays in red, green and blue tech points, and the alternates that reach the same output. For a full chain, the Crafting Planner does the adding up.

How Crafting Works

Stations and Tiers

Every craft names the station it runs at. Upgraded stations like Kitchen Oven II take the same recipes as the first tier, and extensions such as the Fine Tool Rack open the harder ones.

Conveyor and Star Crafts

Conveyor variants are the conveyor-line versions of a craft, and Star variants make the higher-grade output. Both have their own entries, so search the base recipe's name to find them.

Time, Mastery and Tech Points

Time is counted in ticks. A craft's mastery number is the skill level the worker needs, whether that's you or a zombie. Finishing a craft also pays red, green or blue tech points, which is how most of the tree gets funded.

Perks That Change Recipes

A perk badge shows a changed number and the perk behind it. Keeper talents and zombie perks can cut or raise ingredient counts and fuel use, so a recipe's base amount is only a starting point. Cook: Bread, for one, goes from 4 to 6.
