How to use this data
Craft Scarecrow when it solves a current bottleneck
Crafting spends resources that may also be needed for tools, machines, buildings, or Community Center progress.
- Check the ingredient list before spending scarce bars, wood, stone, monster loot, or special items.
- Craft immediately when the output removes a current bottleneck such as watering time, processing capacity, storage, defense, or mobility.
- Delay crafting when the item is only nice to have and the ingredients block a stronger near-term goal.
- If Craft Master completion matters, keep a checklist instead of crafting randomly from memory.
