There are many types of recipes in the Kingdom.

How to Read A Recipe

A Basic Recipe

Here is an example of a simple recipe that can be completed early in the game:

action figure head action figure body
Mighty Bjorn action figure

Each row in the recipe is started with a symbol, showing how to process the specified ingredients. In the above recipe, the first symbol is a picture of meat paste which means this is a combining recipe. The equals sign on the next row shows the final product. The above recipe should be read as follows: Combining an action figure head (with a meat paste) with an action figure body yields a Mighty Bjorn action figure.

Nested Recipes

Here is an example of a nested or multi-tiered recipe. It shows multiple recipes in one (hopefully) easy to read chart.

soda water bottle of vodka
tonic water bottle of Definit
vodka and tonic little paper umbrella
yellow brick road

Each row shows a different sub-recipe of the whole recipe. The above recipe can be read from the bottom, up, as follows. The bottom two rows can be read as: Cocktailcrafting (with Advanced Cocktailcrafting) a vodka and tonic with a little paper umbrella yields a yellow brick road. The middle two rows shown another precedent recipe, which is read as follows: Cocktailcrafting (with Superhuman Cocktailcrafting) tonic water with a bottle of Definit yields a vodka and tonic. The tops two rows shows two recipes. The first: Improving soda water at Nash Crosby's Still yields tonic water. And the second: Improving a bottle of vodka at Nash Crosby's Still yields a bottle of Definit.

Reading the top cell in each column will give a complete "shopping list" for the recipe, or every item needed to complete the recipe once from scratch. For example, to make a yellow brick road from scratch, one would need one soda water, one bottle of vodka, and one little paper umbrella.

Reading all of the left-most cells shows what skills one would need to make a recipe from scratch. For example, to make a yellow brick road from scratch, one would need the proper cocktailcrafting equipment, Superhuman Cocktailcrafting (for crafting a vodka and tonic), access to Nash Crosby's Still (by being a Disco Bandit or Accordion Thief), and Advanced Cocktailcrafting to craft the final step.
