A crafting menu has a side-scrolling series of icons for the various things that can be created at that bench. Tapping on an icon will present the requirements for that item.

Six crafting surfaces—the [[campfire]], the [[kiln]], the [[furnace]], the [[Metalwork Bench|metalwork bench]], the [[Pizza Oven|pizza oven]], and the [[Steam Generator|steam generator]]—require fuel to operate. This is indicated by a ten-slot "fire" fuel bar across the top of their crafting menu and a three-icon fueling menu. The fuel bar will go dark one fire slot at a time from right to left as fuel is consumed. The fire visible on the front of the crafting surface will also reduce in height to match its fuel level. Fuel is also needed by the [[Steam Locomotive|steam locomotive]] and the [[jetpack]]. | |||
If all fire slots are lit, the fueling menu is dark. | If all fire slots are lit, the fueling menu is dark. | ||

A crafting surface's fuel bar will remain as it was left at the end of the last crafting session there, advancing from that point when used again. Fuel is not consumed when no crafting is being done, or when accelerating crafting through use of [[Time Crystal|time crystals]]. As fuel is consumed based on time, not production, [[Double-Time|double-time]] will also reduce the fuel needed per item. | A crafting surface's fuel bar will remain as it was left at the end of the last crafting session there, advancing from that point when used again.
