Help ! I can't find the 1% missing recipes !

[SaturnMeteor]

I'm trying to complete the last percent of the missing recipes so my first question is does dyeing everything count ?
Another question is why on my nintendo switch version some recipes won't show as unlocked while I fulfiilled the conditions ?
And still on Nintendo Switch does the missing throne and the stackable slime count to get 100% recipes ?
What could I be missing on both versions for the 100% recipes ?

Dyed items don't count toward recipes or item completion (However the dye colors do, most colors more than once.)

Usually people in your situation have missed one of these:
1. A particular level of a two or three level food (such as missing one of Burger, Better Burger, and Best Burger) - you only see the basic version in the Items listing.
2. Have found a food item in a chest but never made it themselves (Schnitzel being a common such trap, since its almost always found at Ancient Temple before you can make it.)
3. Did not try all recipe combinations at the Dye Extractor. Just because you made Green Dye with ten Cabbages doesn't mean you made Green Dye with ten Melons. You need to make every recipe at this station using each crop type.
4. Did not try to convert every possible item at the Forbidden Alter (Humongous Horn or Freakish Fin example)
5. Neglected to notice that the post-game Sewing Station workbench provides a few new articles of clothing.

Compare your recipes list to the one at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1I7YipHxPNTNkqES5GctiWtZgavvM_RFadCo08rh01QM/htmlview# and you'll inevitably identify which recipe(s) you've yet to create, if my above comments haven't sparked you into solving it.

The Dragonlord's Throne or Stackable Slime shouldn't count towards the 100% on Switch ror PS4. They'll be listed if built, but unlisted if you don't have them available. You aren't penalized for what you don't have. You can still reach 100% items, recipes, and rooms without them. Since these are always available on PC though, I'm not certain if they do or don't count toward the 100% there.

I found out about the forbidden alter yea, but the problem on my switch version is a serious bunch or recipes are litterally glitched and won't ever unlock... like super strong monsters recipes so I'm restarting the entire game on Switch.
I also know about the multiple stars and dye extractor but yea I didn't keep perfect track of it on my PC playthrought so am trying hard to find what's missing there also.
I think I did all the clothing workbench on PC but I'll also test to craft all clothes once more.
Oh ok so the bonus items won't affect the recipes percentage... hm fine then it's cool.
I will add screens of my food recipes then if that helps to tell if that's where I am missing anything. I will also try to cook everything once more.
All those options I did think about but I have to try once more to make everything.
Thanks for taking the time to give all those clues althought I was highly suspecting exactly it could be one amongst them.

[lilisaur]

I don't understand what could be locked out the recipes from superstrongs. Either you defeated the superstrong and got the recipe, or you didn't. I've never heard of glitches where the recipe wasn't granted. (Though if you were going for their item drop, you lose your chance at it if its a monster that wishes to become your friend instead of dying off and leaving its item, i.e a Golem, Liquid Metal Slime, or Great Sabrecat. I could see that being misinterpreted as a "glitch", but not the recipes.)

The Builderpedia accessible from pause menu lists all the Recipes, Items, and Room/Set recipes you know. You can directly compare it to the document I linked above to determine what's missing. It shouldn't be so hard as to demand a restart with better record-keeping or to cook everything again. If its in your food Recipes list, you've cooked it already. You need to compare your list to the document and identify spots where yours jumps from A to C, indicating B is an untried recipe.

[SaturnMeteor]

Hum well, the problem is on my Nintendo switch and I have no idea what causes it.
All I know is I did multi with my sister while I hadn't everything unlocked, I think I rushed the entire story and I don't know if I did everything in order but for example I see the recipes of both bombs as still locked with the condition to fulfill as well as many super strong monsters who already gave me their weapon recipes and yet it still shows me nothing but the condition to unlock it. I tried to fight those super strong monsters several times and the recipes never showed properly, that's why I'm forced to restart entirely my Nintendo switch playthrought. I'm talking about the recipe list that is in the options menu, not the builderpedia. It bugs me to see the recipes still locked while I do have access to the items in the workbenches and I don't understand at all what causes this.
PS: Oh well, I checked once more my first save file and the problem seems gone... lol. I'm still stuck at 99%. I have a bunch of rooms to build still on the switch version though. Let's see if I find out which thing I forgot to cook or build.
There are only 7 items convertible in the forbidden altar is that right ?
I think I did all the dyes and altar things and am still stuck at 99%.
Do room recipes count ? I have them all done on PC but not on Switch.

[SaturnMeteor]

1. A particular level of a two or three level food (such as missing one of Burger, Better Burger, and Best Burger) - you only see the basic version in the Items listing.

2. Have found a food item in a chest but never made it themselves (Schnitzel being a common such trap, since its almost always found at Ancient Temple before you can make it.)

3. Did not try all recipe combinations at the Dye Extractor. Just because you made Green Dye with ten Cabbages doesn't mean you made Green Dye with ten Melons. You need to make every recipe at this station using each crop type.

4. Did not try to convert every possible item at the Forbidden Altar (Humongous Horn or Freakish Fin example)

5. Neglected to notice that the post-game Sewing Station workbench provides a few new articles of clothing.

I I think I tried everything really, even dye every single item one by one which confirms that this doesn't count.

Let's try to clear my doubts for each point:
1. Can you give me an exact number of food recipes or any consumable included like slime cookies and healing stuff ?
I have preciesly 143 food (all stars levels found included), + 6 special slime shaped gungerbreads (actually 7 gungerbreads but one is included in regular food without special effect), 6 misc various heals+potion.
Therefore the total number I have here is 155 consumables.

2. Pretty sure I cooked absolutly everything I have available once.

3. In the dye extractor there is a NFY hammer list is that correct ? And if there is one then it's gone which means I did all possible colors already. There are 17 possibilities there, is that right ?

4. I count 7 convertible items in the altar and did them all, am I right ?

5. Also pretty sure I made everything possible at the sewing station.

And yet that 1% is still mocking me... snif snif.
I'm sooo confused by this last 1%... I see nothing at all that I didn't already do.
Do the treebase workbench and the sand thing workbench count for the 100% ?
(The only food I found was depending on dlc so it didn't affect the completion of my missing percent.)

[lilisaur]

The document lists 199 consumable recipes. The food recipes page lists 151 of them (not counting Milk which isn't really a recipe.) If you cooked 149 foods then you're obviously missing two of them. Springtide Sprinkles is very possibly one of them (cook the cherry blossoms of a Cherry Tree) - it is easily overlooked because its a "food", like monster munchies, but not one in which you eat.

I can't tell you if you're missing any of the other 48 non-food consumable recipes. These include things like Fertilizer, monster food (not just munchies but Worm Food, Terraforma Tiles, etc.), fireworks, the five weather changing magic cards (even though they aren't consumed), and paints. Some of them like Tingle Tablet, Defuffle Drops, and the 'Open Oceans' song sheet require finding an item before learning the recipe. Terraforma Tiles demands befriending a Golem family monster to learn the recipe.

The items at the Tree Stump most definitely count toward the recipes percentage. There's a number of items there that can be found throughout the game and either Ultimalleted or Transform-o-Troweled to collect but doesn't count as recipe until made at Tree Stump. Furthermore many of these recipes requires you to have destroyed such a block in your travels to get the recipe. For example, to make Viny Vault Wall Block you'd have to destroy one somewhere before its recipe shows up at Tree Stump. If the above document says its built at Tree Stump but you don't have the recipe at Tree Stump, you'll have to go find one and bash it with your hammer first. A lot of them are in the ruined places around Laguna Perfuma, Rimey Reef, and Defiled Isle. I'd like to find you a list of all the Tree Stump recipes but can't find one right now. If it bothers you enough I'll take a screenshot, but the Items list on above document really should help identify the missing items for you.

I don't think the recipes at the Stickler's Sifter count. They are just alternate versions of "normal" or "undifferentiated" items. (They are unique items, but aren't listed in Builderpedia so they don't matter to percentages.)

17 crops so 17 dyes to produce would be correct. But don't forget the 8 colors of paint to be made at that Tinting Tun either.

Forbidden Altar has 8 recipes. There are 7 items to convert, but one of them has two recipes for some strange reason - though I'm not sure if they both count toward percentage. It may take a few Freakish Fins to get both recipes. You can get more at Unholy Holm but they're high up so bringing a Chimaera monster to help lift you up to them would be helpful.
- Big Bad Bottom Teeth
- Freakish Fin (which produces Dry Grass instead of Beef)
- Freakish Fin (which produces Beef instead of Dry Grass)
- Huge Horn
- Humongous Horn
- Scales
- Terrible Talon
- Titanic Top Teeth

[SaturnMeteor]

Let's eliminate the dyes and paints, pretty sure I did this all.

I had a small hope for an instant but it's definitly not the altar. I got both recipes from the freakish fin and it didn't work.

As for the tree stump here what I have yet:
- 20 blocs
- 1 damaged throne
-25 other craftable things
If the viny vault bloc is found where the roses are in Laguna perfuma I most probably have it.
I crafted it as well.
Which makes a total of 46 which I most probably already crafted once each. Is the total number correct there ?

I also cooked the cherry tree petals so it's not that.

As for the food and other consumables I'm trying hard to verify again and will edit that here.

By the way my builderpedia is 100%, so I imagine that makes it impossible to be anything cookable that that I missed since all the non dlc food shall have a interogative dot spot in the builderpedia ?
I've tried everything esle you suggested. I'm ultra lost on this missing percentage yet.

Fertilizer, monster food munchies, worm Food, Terraforma Tiles,, fireworks, the five weather changing magic cards (even though and paints. I've crafted anything that appears as craftable as well as I've crafted all songs once.

48 non food consumables ? Wait.. I have 32 appearing in the pause menu list, I'm not sure what are the others. Do you count the canon ball and the chaos bombs in it ?
What are the non food consumables that make a total of 48 if we count the list where the song sheets are ? (which appears as a list of 32 items for me yet).

[SaturnMeteor]

Holycrap, I've identified a missing builder's workbench in the list, I have only 4 listed instead of 5. how can I even fix that ??????
I have no way to build older version of it at this point.
Same problem on switch I have 40 workbenches instead of 41 and it's one stage of the builder's workbench that is missing appearently.
What the heck... do I have to replay the entire game to fix it ?
Could you show me the 5 builder's workbench recipes ?
Or is it a mistake from the document ?

Here are the recipes of those I have:

Builder's workbench 1:

Cabbage seed
Wheat seed
Sugar cane seed
Tomato seed
Pumpkin seed
wood.

Builder's workbench 2:

Copper ingot
iron ingot
silver ingot
gold ingot

Builder's workbench 3:

Marble
magic crystal
Steel ingot

Builder's workbench 4:

Wood
Gold ingot
Coton
Marble
Scale (Malroth's part recyclable bloc)

Which Builder's workbench am I missing and at which point of the game did I miss it
???

Also I found this question on google:

"Is this item missable? According to the guide in the link below, you have to "Activate Builder's Workbench during Prologue", but I guess I didn't do it since I don't have the recipe for it-- it's the version that requires 5 wood to make. Is there a place in the game where I can find it, or am I just screwed out of 100% Recipe completion?"

Am I screwed too ? Daaamn....
This is so dumb if I have to replay the entire game just because of this.

[SaturnMeteor]

I'm thinking about how to fix that workbench problem without replaying the entire game.
The only small possibility I see is to copy the workbench in somebody else's place online, but can the npc people build a workbench if it's part of a plan ? And will it remain the same form as it was copied when built by npc ?
I'm going to erase this entire thread and move to a new one where I'll ask about this workbench problem as soon as you post anything else.
Hum wait am gona create the new thread right now and call it:

"Locked at 99% recipes; Is there a way to fix the missing first builder's workbench problem without restarting the entire game ?"
Let me know when you've seen the last messages so I erase this entire useless thread.

[lilisaur]

I don't think the missing workbenches count against you. The "Tier 0" Builders' Workbench buildable before you activate the Green Tablet most certainly does not count. It shows on the recipes list if you built it though. Almost everybody misses it first time though the game though (including myself) Thus, its the other thread that is needless, not this one.

If you have 100% items but not 100% recipes then its certainly something you found but haven't made yourself. Schnitzel comes to mind and I think Burger can be provided by a chest as well. The three rewards granted at Malhalla (Hero's Shield, Auroral Armor, and Sword of Kings) would be similar - you'd have to make your own at an Anvil to satisfy the recipe in addition to the ones you received as monster drops. Hela's Hammer (Malroth's post-game weapon) is also granted and needs to be made by your own hands. Old Rags at the Sewing Station since you get a pair at Skelkatraz. Maybe Copper Sword as well if you got your first from the chest near Wrigley's save at Furrowfield rather than making your own at an Anvil. And undoubtedly several that can be made at Tree Stump like Disfigured Throne (which you'd acquired at Moonbrooke.)

I can't provide a screenshot of the Tree Stump items right now but can provide a list. These are not in the same order as at the appear at the Tree Stump or Recipes list. You may have to make each one of these to be sure they're all covered. The ones with asterisks are those items that I think you could have collected with a hammer other than Ultimallet prior to post-game, meaning you could easily have the item without satisfying the recipe (Most of the blocks could have also been collected with Transform-o-Trowel but few people think to collect items in this manner.)

I verified all clothings and equipement, I'm sure it's none of them. It's not Malhalla equipement neither Malroth's last hammer, neither the old rags)

I checked the tree stump list you gave me and I have everything you listed and that means if I can see them there I definitly did craft all of them while I notice that you didn't quote any of those 4:

Plumberry lumber
Silver birch lumber
Palm lumber
Cedar lumber

So either I have even more items in the tree stump than you or you forgot them.

That builder's workbench seemed to be my last hope. I keep verifying anything closely but it's impossible that it's anything in a workbench or the anvil because I crafted every possible available things.
None of the food recipes you've quoted multiple times seem to be anything I missed either.
I've never been so lost...
If it's not this tier 0 workbench I don't understand, really.

Ok let's count again food and other consumables, you said:
151 food (is milk counted in the number of 151 ? I suppose so because it wouldn't make a total of 199).
Ok so on the document list if I do count milk, springtide sprinkles and monster munchies I do reach 152 for sure. So now at least I have no doubt anymore that the food list of the document is complete in my builderpedia.
I have 24 x 6 items lines + malhalla dishes + butter which makes 5 so it's 149 + 3 which are milk, springtide sprinkles and monster munchies. They all appear in my recipes list. Does it still mean I have to craft them myself if they are already in the recipes list ? Though am pretty sure I did craft absolutly everything that appears in my recipes list once already.

Now what is the list of the 48 non food consumables then ?

If I exclude water of life, golden glow, and mark of moonbrooke, I count only 47 left, but in those 47 I include springtide sprinkles and monster munchies as non food consumable:

1. Medicinal herb

2. Strong medicine

3. Antidotal herb

4. Tingle Tablet

5. Defuddle drops

6. Sheen salts

7. Fertilizer

8. Worm food

9. Woody goody

10. Terraforma tiles

11. Ice loly

12. Monster munchies

13. Boom ball

14. Springtide sprinkles

15 to 22. color paints

23 to 27. meteo cards (x5)

28. fireworks

29 to 47. song sheets (x19)

You said 48, what is missing ?
Are you 200% sure that the tier 0 builder's workbench doesn't count otherwise ?

[SaturnMeteor]

Ok so at this point it took me forever to edit the building blocs list because I cannot save the document in easily editable way.
After revising carefully my edited list I count 252 building blocs in the document's list.
Is that correct ?
I have only 251 in my in game list.
Now it's getting really weird. It seems that I don't have the broken masonry but it won't add it to the builderpedia's building blocs recipes. Unless there is no way to craft this ?
Since my bloc recipes list is 251 and this one is not showing anywhere to be crafted then I guess it means I can't miss any bloc.

I'm still wondering how do you count 48 non food consumables compared to the list I made in my previous post.
And I keep searching hard but I find nothing but that tier 0 workbench missing yet.
Since the tier 0 workbench does show a recipe I think it does count unfortunately for me.

[SaturnMeteor]

I just did a test to see if a workbench can be part of a plan with the pen tool. It can.
Now the question is what will happen if I copy the very first builder's workbench in another place online and leave the plan to be built by npc but put the last workbench I have in the chest.

[lilisaur]

Sorry. I didn't list the 4 lumbers becuase you can make them at Builder's Workbench. I was only listing things that can only be made at Tree Stump.

I must have miscounted. 47 consumable non-foods and 152 foods for a total of 199 total consumables. So it sounds like you have them all.

If you don't have the recipe for Broken Masonry, go bash a block of it from the columns at the Mountaintop Temple, then check your Tree Stump for new recipe to build it from a regular Masonry Block. This sounds like it might be your missing recipe.

Unless PC version operates differently than Switch and PS4, the Tier 0 Builder's Workbench does not count. Multiple people, including myself, have reached 100% without this recipe on Switch and PS4. As I said, most people miss it first playthrough so developers were forgiving on this one. (In fact, an earlier version of the spreadsheet only listed tiers 1-4 and I had to point out to the author that tier 0 can be made early in the game and shows up in the list if made, after which they added it to their list at row 222.)

Your blueprint trick is extremely unlikely to work. When you place a Builder's Workbench (or any of the four story stations), it upgrades to the latest version you have. Maybe it works but I'm doubtful. It also demands you find an island with a level 0 on it to blueprint. I can help here, as I made a test of the Angler's Isle exploit* to have each of the five tiers on my island at the same time: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/1/9/AAeYSdAAA2qv.jpg . Visit my test island at uB5UsU4EcP, warp to the Green Gardens tablet and you'll find a Tier 0 there (though last publish was before post-game when I took the picture. The publish was done to prove that visitors also get blackness and a glowing Malroth if a publish is made at that particular point in the game, though warping dispels the blackness.)

(* Angler's Isle exploit: Isle of Awakening Builder's Workbenches upgrade when you interact with them after activating a tablet or at post-game, but there's a Builder's Workbench at Angler's Isle which can upgraded in this fashion, too. You can then make the latest level at this station and bring copies back to IOA. So long as older versions of the Builder's Workbench are then never interacted with, they remain earlier levels, thus producing the effect in my image above.)

If you can't reproduce it with a blueprint, then perhaps you could steal one from someone else via Multibuilder Mode. If you can reproduce earlier versions via Blueprint, I'd like to know - that's something I've never tried and it would be another way to reproduce the image I made above.

[SaturnMeteor]

I'm trying that tier 0 builder workbench trick on switch with my sister right now, a for the broken masonry bloc I does not appear in my tree stump whatsoever I do. I've tried on PC it's missing and won't appear in the tree stump when I collect it.
As for having any non evovled workbench I don't. I would have tried anything possible with it if I had access to one but unfortunately I don't have any of those left either on pc or switch.

Also there is a last point you might forget about the completion percentage:
We are on ver. 1.7.3 yet and that might explain the fact the tier 0 workbench would matter for the completion unlike previous versions. I quite strongly presume that might have to be taken in consideration.

For the broken masonry bloc it seems that I got lost in translation, I do have it in the tree stump.
How many blocs exactly do appear in the tree stump for you ? I mean the total of building blocs of any type you can see in the tree stump. I have precisely 20 items displaying in the tree stump building blocs list.
