Crafting is an important part of progressing in Loftia because it lets you create tools, garden equipment, storage, stations, batteries, and other useful items. As you move through the crafting tiers, you will need more materials, including refined resources such as Metal Plates, Flexible Lumber, Copper Bars, and Rust Resistant Alloy.
In this guide, we’ll go through the crafting recipes listed in the supplied data, from Tier 1 basics to Tier 3 equipment. I’ll also cover the refining recipes you need to turn raw materials into components for more advanced crafting.
If you are planning your next upgrade, this guide will help you check the required ingredients before gathering materials. Some items are available by default, while others are linked to the Research Station, quests, or a World Project. Where the source does not specify an unlock method, I’ve left that information unconfirmed rather than guessing.
Loftia Crafting Guide – Refining Requirements, Materials
The supplied recipe list separates crafting into three tiers and provides a separate table for refining.
- Crafting uses materials and existing items to create equipment, stations, garden structures, and other objects.
- Refining converts materials such as Scrap Wood, Metal Scraps, Plant Fiber, and Plastic Discards into components used in crafting recipes.
- Unlock requirements identify whether an item is listed as Default, Quest, Research Station, or World Project.
Some higher-tier recipes require an earlier version of an item. For example, Hammer Lv 2 requires a Hammer, Hammer Lv 3 requires Hammer Lv 2, and Battery Lv 4 requires Battery Lv 3. You should check these dependencies before gathering the rest of the materials.

Which Materials Should You Refine First?
If you are preparing to craft several items, it helps to identify materials that appear repeatedly across the recipe list. This lets you prioritize refining instead of processing resources without a clear purpose.
Screws and Scrap Wire
Screws are used in many Tier 1 recipes, including the Hammer, Pruner, Project Station, Refining Station, Carpentry Station, and Tailoring Station. They also appear in Tier 2 recipes such as Tree Plot and Drip Irrigator.
Scrap Wire is another recurring ingredient. It is needed for the Small Solar Panel, Project Station, Refining Station, Cooking Station, Seed Maker, Flower Mixer, and several other recipes.
If you are crafting multiple stations or upgrades, check your Screw and Scrap Wire totals before starting.
Plastic Sheets, Rubber, and Metal Plates
Plastic Sheets are needed for the Advanced Watering Can, Drip Irrigator, Small Biofuel Station, Small Hydro Station, and Small Wind Turbine.
Rubber is used in Hammer Lv 2, the Glider, and the Drip Irrigator. Metal Plates appear in the Pruner, Share Box, Advanced Watering Can, and Medium Solar Panel.
These materials are worth including in your crafting plan if you are working on garden upgrades, equipment, or power-generation structures.
Copper Bars and Aluminum Bars
Copper Bars are used for Pruner Lv 2, Pruner Lv 3, and Battery Lv 3. Aluminum Bars appear in the Trowel, Bounce Shoes, Flower Mixer, several Tier 2 power structures, and the Propeller.
Both materials are refined from five raw units per bar according to the supplied recipe list. Plan your raw-material gathering around the number of bars required by your target items.
Rust Resistant Alloy and Circuit Boards
Rust Resistant Alloy and Circuit Boards become important in Tier 3. They are required by advanced tool upgrades, power stations, the Recycler, and the Display Case.
Rust Resistant Alloy is refined from five Rusted Metal, while Circuit Boards are refined from five Electronic Scraps.
If you intend to craft several Tier 3 items, consider listing their combined requirements first so you know how much Rusted Metal and how many Electronic Scraps you need.
