🔨 Crafting & Tools
Crafted tools are yours forever — once you craft a tool you keep it across runs. Tier 2 tools unlock on night 3 of a run, tier 3 on night 6 (rods: night 5 and night 9). The Log Raft and Fishing Rod are never locked — craft them on day 1.
| Tool | Cost | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Driftwood Bonker (T1) | 3 Driftwood, 2 Shells | Bonk a crab: flips it onto its back. |
| Shell Mallet (T2, night 3) | 4 Driftwood, 8 Shells | Reaches farther, flips 2 crabs at once, they stay dizzy longer. |
| Sea-Glass Hammer (T3, night 6) | 5 Driftwood, 8 Shells, 8 Sea Glass | A wide, glowing swing that flips up to 4 crabs. |
| Sand Slinger (T1) | 2 Driftwood, 1 Kelp, 3 Shells | Ranged stun. Fires Pebbles (carry up to 30; piles wash up on the beach, digs sometimes give 2). |
| Coconut Launcher (T2, night 3) | 4 Driftwood, 5 Shells, 3 Kelp | Goes POP where it lands, dizzying every crab nearby. Fires Coconuts from your food bag. |
| Starshell Slinger (T3, night 6) | 5 Driftwood, 6 Shells, 8 Sea Glass | Fast, far, sparkly shots with a big splash. Fires Pebbles. |
| Lantern (T1) | 1 Driftwood, 2 Sea Glass, 1 Kelp | Hold it up: crabs won't enter your little circle of light. |
| Storm Lantern (T2, night 3) | 2 Driftwood, 5 Sea Glass, 3 Kelp | A bigger circle of light. |
| Sea-Glass Lantern (T3, night 6) | 3 Driftwood, 10 Sea Glass, 4 Kelp | The biggest circle — and Glowfish can't dim it. |
| Fishing Rod (T1) | 2 Driftwood, 2 Kelp, 1 Shell | Fish from a raft, a boat, or the end of the pier. |
| Sturdy Rod (T2, night 5) | 4 Driftwood, 4 Kelp, 4 Shells | Wider catch zone, faster reeling, rarer fish bite more often. |
| Sea-Glass Rod (T3, night 9) | 5 Driftwood, 5 Kelp, 8 Sea Glass | The widest zone, the fastest reel, the best rare-fish luck. |
| Thunder Conch (night 2) | 6 Shells, 3 Sea Glass, 2 Kelp | Blow it: a shockwave hits every monster around you — crabs flip (counts toward defeating them), moths are swatted. 10-second cooldown. |
| Log Raft | 5 Driftwood, 2 Kelp | Waits at the raft dock by the pier. Room for a friend. |
| Stone Axe | 3 Driftwood, 3 Shells, 1 Sea Glass | Chop jungle trees for logs (they burn in the lighthouse). |
| Shell Camera | 2 Driftwood, 3 Sea Glass, 2 Shells | Photograph animals for your photo album. Close-ups earn a gold star! |
| Kelp Wrap (consumable) | 2 Kelp, 1 Shell | Press Heal to get a heart back. Carry up to 3. |
