    How the calculator works

    Every craftable item in Permafrost has one recipe: ingredients, a result amount, a craft time and the bench it needs. Build parts have a build cost instead. The calculator walks each ingredient's own recipe until only looted or gathered materials remain.

    Turn off "Craft intermediate ingredients" to treat things like rope or ingots as items you already have — useful when you buy them from a trader or pull them from a container.

    Your plan is stored in the page URL, so you can bookmark it or send it to a friend. Numbers come from the Early Access preview build and are refreshed after launch.

    The calculator covers 162 craftable items and 136 build parts from Permafrost's data files, following each recipe down to raw materials. The deepest chain in the preview build is Permafrost Jacket: 6 different raw materials and about 7m 33s of crafting. Totals round up to whole crafts, list the workstations you need, and can be shared by link.

    How do I use the Permafrost crafting calculator?

    Search for an item or build part, add it, set the quantity, and read the raw-material list, intermediate crafts, workstations and total craft time below.

    What does "craft intermediate ingredients" do?

    On, every ingredient with its own recipe is broken down further (rope becomes cloth). Off, intermediates count as materials you already have.
