Crafting in Mini War lets you build special structures that boost your workers, units, and defenses during battles. You research the feature once, place the Crafting Building on your plot, and then turn resources into upgraded statues, reactors, and reward chests.
Quick answer: Buy the Crafting node in the Research tree for $250K, then purchase the Crafting Building from Special Items, place it on your plot, and press F to open the crafting menu.
How to unlock Crafting in Mini War
F to open the crafting menu. You will see every recipe you currently have access to, along with its timer, required resources, and bonus.
Once you start a recipe, it takes up a Crafting Slot until the timer finishes. You confirm a craft worked when the finished item or bonus is added to your base after the timer runs out. If a recipe will not start, you are missing one of its required resources or structures.
Crafting Tiers and their unlock costs
Recipes are split across three Tiers, which you unlock directly in the Crafting menu using cash. Tier 1 is free from the start, so you can begin crafting as soon as the building is placed.
| Tier | Unlock cost |
|---|---|
| Tier 1 | Free (default) |
| Tier 2 | $10M |
| Tier 3 | $25B |

Research upgrades that improve Crafting
Three Research tree upgrades tie directly into Crafting. One unlocks the building, one adds capacity, and one speeds up every craft. Building extra Crafting Buildings gives you more slots so you can run several recipes at the same time.
| Research | Effect | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Crafting | Unlocks the Crafting Building | $250K |
| +1 Crafting Building | Allows one more Crafting Building to be built | $25M |
| Fast Crafter | Makes crafting 10% faster | $5B |
As your Crafting level rises, more recipes open up, and Research upgrades continue to expand what you can build. Keep your resource lines flowing so you always have the Iron, Cement, Data Cube, Stable Uran, and Supernova Charge each recipe needs, and the higher Tiers become far easier to clear.
