Quick Crafting Answer
Community guides confirm 16 Farm Helper machines and a Refiner → Furnace → Keg processing chain. Build the Refiner first (Ridge roof-repair task), then the Furnace (15× Copper Ore + 5× Refined Stone), then the Keg (20× Wood). Blood Grapes → Red Wine is the most cited money loop. Build and output quantities below are from community guides — check in-game. Official official copy still covers potion brewing and hobby crafts separately.
Build order: Workbench → Refiner (Ridge task) → Furnace → Keg — then unlock functional machines via NPC blueprints. See sections below for reported recipes and unlock paths.

⚙️ Crafting & Processing Machines
Post-launch community sources confirm 16 Farm Helper machines split between synthesis stations and processing stations. Build priority: Refiner first, then Furnace, then functional machines like Keg and Jam Maker. Official Tier 1 copy still confirms four hobby workstations — potions, embroidery, flower arranging, and homestead decor — separate from the farm processing row.
| Priority | Machine | Why build it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Workbench | Starting station — general crafting surface. |
| 2 | Refiner | Refined stone and planks feed every later machine — Wiki recommends building first. |
| 3 | Furnace | Smelts ore into bars for tool upgrades and Jam Maker inputs. |
| 4 | Keg | Processes fruit into wine and juice — Blood Grapes → Red Wine is the clearest money loop (sell prices not listed on site yet). |
| 5 | Functional machines | Jam Maker, Loom, Mill, etc. — unlock via NPC blueprints after core chain is online. |

💰 Processing Before You Sell
Bottom line: do not sell raw crops and ore that can enter a machine — community sources agree processed goods are worth far more than raw materials. guide). We publish 0 verified margin or sell-price tables (prices not listed on site yet).
- Raw crops sell for very little — feed surplus to Chester or process first.
- Blood Grapes → Keg → Red Wine is the clearest loop — no gold-per-bottle numbers in catalog.
- Keep wood, stone, fiber, and ore for building and tool upgrades — see What to Sell vs Keep.

🪑 Processing → Themed Furniture
Preview LPs describe a decor unlock chain: brewing wine can unlock wine-themed furniture blueprints that require wine bottles as a material (V7 · V6). That is a workstation output feeding homestead decor — still not a published blueprint catalog.
- V7 — after brewing wine, wine-themed furniture blueprints appear; bottles act as a crafting input.
- V6 — processed goods (wine/juice) can unlock themed furniture sets (single-mechanic clue).
- Furniture blueprint costs not listed yet — no recipe costs, material qty, or decor stats on this site.
Route decor planning on /building-guide and shop previews on /shops — without inventing blueprint spreadsheets.
