Food Recipes, Furnaces, and Crafting Stations in MITE:Equilibrium

Smelting Recipes

The Smelting block in MITE:Equilibrium processes five known recipes, all of which convert raw ores or base metals into usable ingots. These recipes are straightforward and require a heat source, such as a furnace.

Raw Adamantium smelts into an Adamantium Ingot.
Copper Ingot smelts into another Copper Ingot (likely for refining or re-heating purposes).
Raw Iron smelts into an Iron Ingot.
Raw Mithril smelts into a Mithril Ingot.
Raw Silver smelts into a Silver Ingot.

Note that the Copper Ingot recipe is unusual—it takes an already-formed ingot as input, not raw ore. Ensure you have the correct fuel and a functional furnace before attempting these conversions.

Cheese Recipes

Cheese is a food item crafted entirely from milk sources. All cheese recipes are shapeless, meaning the arrangement of ingredients in the crafting grid does not matter—only the type and quantity of items do.

Milk Bucket alone converts directly into Cheese (shapeless).
8x Bowl of Milk combines into Cheese (shapeless).
4x Bowl of Milk combines into Cheese (shapeless).
9x Milk Bucket combines into Cheese (shaped recipe—this one requires a specific 3x3 grid layout).
3x Milk Bucket combines into Cheese (shapeless).

The variety of recipes means you can use either buckets or bowls of milk depending on what you have available. The 9-bucket shaped recipe likely yields more cheese per craft, but the shapeless versions are more flexible for small batches.

Beef Soup Recipe

Beef Soup is a crafted food item with a single known shapeless recipe. Combine the following ingredients in any order:

Steak (cooked beef)
Bowl of Water
Carrot
Potato
Onion

This produces Beef Soup, which is presumably a more filling or restorative meal than its individual components. Since the recipe is shapeless, you can place these five items anywhere in the crafting grid as long as all are present.

Clay Furnace

The Clay Furnace is an early-game alternative to the standard furnace. Its crafting recipe is shaped and requires four Clay blocks.

Arrange 4x Clay in a square (2x2) pattern in the crafting grid.
The result is a Clay Furnace.

This station likely functions similarly to a regular furnace for smelting, but uses clay as its primary construction material. It may be easier to obtain early before you have access to stone or iron.

Flint Crafting Table

The Flint Crafting Table is a portable or early crafting station. Its recipe is shaped and uses two components:

Flint Knife
Dark Oak Log

Place these in the correct shaped pattern (likely the log as a base and the knife as a tool component) to craft the Flint Crafting Table. This table probably allows basic crafting without needing a full wooden crafting table, making it useful in the early game or for expeditions.

Copper Crafting Table

The Copper Crafting Table is a more advanced crafting station. Its shaped recipe requires four distinct ingredients:

Copper Ingot
Leather
Stick
Dark Oak Log

Combine these in the proper shaped layout to produce the Copper Crafting Table. This station likely offers additional crafting options or durability compared to flint or wooden tables. The inclusion of copper and leather suggests it is a mid-tier upgrade, bridging early tools and more advanced equipment.

Practical Notes

When working with these recipes, remember that shaped recipes (like the 9-bucket cheese and both crafting tables) require exact grid placement, while shapeless recipes (most cheese variants and beef soup) are forgiving. Always check your available materials before crafting—milk buckets are consumed, so plan for multiple batches if you need large amounts of cheese. Furnaces and crafting tables are essential infrastructure, so prioritize building a Clay Furnace early, then upgrade to Flint and Copper Crafting Tables as you gather better materials.
