    Use the exact in-game name and select the correct station option.

  2. 02
    Enter the quantity

    Batch rounding is automatic, including leftover output.

  3. 03
    Stage materials beside the station

    Keep quest and repair reserves outside the active crafting chest.

Planner questions

What the total means

How does the planner handle recipe output greater than one?

It rounds the requested amount up to complete batches, then shows the actual output and any extra pieces.

Can the planner calculate schematic-locked items?

Yes. It calculates their material order and marks that the matching schematic must be unlocked before crafting.

Are trader exchanges included?

No. Crafting and trading remain separate so packed crops, rescued Farmers, and Wonk Stacks never appear as normal workshop ingredients.
