Craft Master - REALLY not working

[Oceanic~Lullaby]

I am running version 1.4.4+ of the game, unmodded singleplayer on Mac. Currently in Winter of Year 3.

I've crafted every single item, all 104, as confirmed by the in-game message when you hover over each item in the crafting menu. I'm 99% certain I have all the recipes from Robin, Clint, Krobus, and Dwarf (none of them are selling any recipes anymore), and unless I'm mistaken, the total number of items needed for Craft Master in 1.4 is 104.

I've gone into my game data and confirmed that all the items have at least 1 (i.e. they've all actually been crafted at least once). Then I changed one item in the "CraftingRecipes" from 1 to 0. I did so in all four files (SaveGameInfo, SaveGameInfo_Old, (Character), (Character)_Old). I didn't change anything else, and my game loaded as normal. As I expected, the item that I changed to 0 now showed that it hadn't been crafted. I re-crafted it, slept to the next day. Still no achievement.

It doesn't seem like this is a common issue, so I suspect it's a bug unique to my game.

For full disclosure, while my current save file hasn't ever been modded (not since I began it when 1.4 came out), I did run mods on save files prior to 1.4. However, when 1.4 came out, I deleted all the mods and SMAPI no longer starts up when I run the game. I don't THINK this should be the reason why it's messing up the achievement for me, but since I'm really at the end of my rope, I want to mention everything.

My game has been singleplayer from the start. I've never used it to host a co-op game. The Wedding Ring is not available to me in the crafting menu, and I've read it shouldn't count towards the achievement anyways.

Every other achievement has successfully unlocked when I fulfilled the criteria to unlock it. Only Craft Master is being stubborn.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I'll try to answer questions as best I can. Thank you!

Just because all item listed in the game file say 1 or greater, don't mean you crafted every item. In my instance, cask was not even listed in the file as to check whether it is 0 to start with. I had to upgrade the house to maximum for cask to appear and then craft it. For me to notice that, I checked every item listed in wiki, searched crafting. Also checked new crafting items not included in this wiki list from 1.4 patch.

If you really did craft all items, the game should give you a popup saying you achieved it and will unlock Craft Master in your in-game Collections -> Achievements tab.

If you do see the achievement in-game but not in Steam, try the following.

Warp Totem: Desert was indeed the last 105th recipe I was missing! None of the guides I consulted mentioned that the Desert Trader would have a recipe; plus, all the guides said there should be 104 recipes total, and I had exactly 104 when I made this thread (I counted one by one in-game in the crafting menu lol).

In any case, I bought the recipe from Desert Trader, and as soon as I crafted a Desert Totem, the achievement popped. Thank you so much!

You are correct; the recipe I was missing was the Warp Totem: Desert, and since I didn't have the recipe, it didn't show up in my save file.

This achievement has been causing people problems since the game came out. While technically it's the player's fault for not being careful enough, Stardew should also not be so nitpicky and @n@l of a game. Kind of goes against the relaxing atmosphere the game creates IMO.

Having the game display how many times each item has been crafted is a huge step in the right direction, but it still doesn't help people who are missing recipes. It would have been nice if I had some way of knowing that what I did wrong was missing one recipe.

In any case, thanks for your help! Super happy to complete all achievements. :)
