FAQ

How does the materials calculation work?

This Hytale Calculator FAQ explains how Hytale Calculator expands each recipe into base materials while respecting output quantities and crafting chains.

Recipe expansion

The materials calculator breaks a target item into a complete list of base inputs.

Hytale Calculator starts with the selected output item and looks for a recipe. If a recipe exists, each input is expanded again until no more recipes are found. This recursive approach produces a final list of base materials that you can gather directly.

The output is aggregated so you see a single total per material. This keeps the list short and makes it easy to split gathering tasks across a team.

Batch output handling

Hytale Calculator rounds up to full crafts when recipes output multiple items.

Some recipes produce more than one item per craft. When you request a quantity that is not a multiple of the output, Hytale Calculator rounds up to the next full craft. This prevents underestimating materials and matches real crafting behavior.

The calculator also indicates when batch rounding occurs, so you can see why totals are higher than a simple multiplication.

Multiple recipe sources

When an item has more than one recipe, Hytale Calculator lets you choose which one to apply.

Community sources sometimes disagree on recipe inputs. Hytale Calculator shows each recipe with its source and station notes so you can select the one that matches your plan. This keeps the calculation transparent and avoids hidden assumptions.
