Support production chains and connect crafting systems. Miscellaneous and special recipes include supportive crafting processes that do not belong exclusively to raw material processing or component manufacturing but are essential for keeping production systems functional.
What Are Misc & Special Recipes?
Miscellaneous recipes typically produce materials that serve as secondary inputs, enable mechanical or transport-related crafting, and support multiple production categories. They are rarely used on their own, but without them many production chains cannot function efficiently.
Common Misc & Special Recipe Types
Fiber and Textile Processing
Recipes that convert plant-based materials into threads or ropes are commonly used to support mechanical components and transport systems.
Connector Materials
Some special recipes exist primarily to bridge different crafting systems, linking solid processing, components, and automation devices.
How Misc & Special Recipes Fit Into Production
Miscellaneous recipe outputs are frequently used as:
- Supporting inputs for component recipes
- Required materials for specific machines
- Flexible resources shared across multiple systems
They are best produced in controlled quantities and integrated into existing production lines rather than isolated setups.
Production Tips for Misc & Special Recipes
- Avoid overproduction to reduce storage clutter
- Route outputs directly into dependent systems
- Use buffer storage to balance fluctuating demand
