Petit Planet: How to Plan Crafting Materials

Before gathering in Petit Planet, check the materials required for your next recipe. Collect what you need, process raw materials into intermediate goods when required, and keep some inventory space open for items you find while exploring.

Plan a crafting session

1. Check the crafting requirements for the item you want to make.
2. Note which materials you have and which are missing.
3. Gather the missing materials, then return to craft.
4. Keep raw materials separate from processed goods so you can see what is ready to use.

Planning around a recipe helps you avoid collecting supplies without a clear crafting goal. If a recipe requires processed materials, account for those steps before starting.

Manage materials and storage

Crafting can involve intermediate materials made from lower-tier supplies, so avoid treating every raw item as ready for its final recipe. Keep track of what you plan to use next, and clear out supplies you do not need when storage is tight. The draft suggests selling or discarding easily replaced items, but weigh that against any recipe or request you still need to complete.

Account for energy and processing time

The draft describes gathering and crafting as energy-consuming activities, and says some synthesis can take processing time. If either limit applies to your current task, avoid spending all your available energy on gathering before you are ready to craft. Start processing when it fits your plans, then use the wait for other tasks if the game allows it.
