Enshrouded Crafting Materials — the Full Material Chain

Materials are where exploration meets industry: the world supplies the tiers, and your station line converts them into craftable stock.

Metals — the core ladder

The Blast Furnace roughly doubles batch size and halves per-unit fuel, so mid-game stockpiles belong to it. Charcoal from the Kiln feeds everything below steel; coal takes over above it.

Wood — six tiers

Logs chop into planks at the Table Saw (1 log → 2 planks in 60 seconds). Tiers escalate by region: basic logs, hardwood, palm, bamboo, and tropical wood for the highest recipes. Wood gates building (building materials), weapon grips, and furniture.

Textiles and leather

• Fiber → String → Thread → Linen → Cloth through the Hunter’s spindle, spinning wheel and Loom
• Hide → Leather → Hardened Leather at the Tanning Station; animal farms (animal produce) supply the late tiers
• Textiles gate armor, bags, and comfort furniture

Shroud reagents

Glow Dust, Shroud Spores, Enshrouded Oil, and laboratory products like Nitrate come from Shroud zones and the Alchemy line. They feed spells, potions, and the highest weapon recipes — plan Shroud runs as material expeditions, not just exploration.

The economy rule

Every material family has one choke station and one choke fuel: bricks for the Smelter, charcoal for early metals, coal for late metals, flax for linen. Stockpile the choke, and the rest of the chain never stalls. The crafting from storage setup keeps it all reachable.
