Your crafting quality takes off rapidly at this point, because after alternating between woodworking station and hatchet a couple times to get the quality up a couple levels, you can harvest up to quality 40 wood, which leap-frogs the rest of your stations and crafting tools, allowing you to quickly craft or harvest up to quality 40 in everything. The quality of the station is the average of the quality of materials that goes into making it and the station determines the quality of the material that comes out of it. With that hatchet, you can harvest higher quality wood and replace your woodworking station with another of higher quality, a pattern that will be quickly familiar. Using quality 1 wood shaft and some quality 1 stone, craft your first quality 1 hatchet.

To craft the station, you just need to harvest some quality 1 lumber and rupu vines, and then use quality 1 lumber and fiber to craft quality 1 wood shafts. Crafting a quality 1 crafting station magically unlocks the world for you, but the game does a terrible job of letting you know that until you’ve already done it. Otherwise, the trick is that it all starts with the woodworking station. If you happen to loot a quality wood shaft, you can skip the next step. You either have to get really lucky, which I did and then hosed myself by not taking advantage of it, or you have to know a few tricks to get past that quality 1 barrier. With all gear of basic quality, you can only harvest common or quality 1 material, no matter how high the quality of the source node happens to be. It takes quality gear to harvest quality materials, so while unlocking and crafting higher tier gear does help in general, I shorted myself by not also working on quality at the same time.

Higher tier gear does allow you to harvest more materials from a node but doesn’t actually allow you to harvest quality. Resources usually come in batches, so find one and there’ll be more of similar quality around it. I saw the harvesting level listed for more advanced gear and thought that was what I needed to harvest higher quality materials. My confusion started while I was unlocking new recipes using fragments. My problem is that none of them had workstations of any quality, and I needlessly burned through stacks upon stacks of quality materials for no reason. I’ve actually crafted several and have them deployed around the region in case I get ganked and lose one. Like most, I created my dinghy and a deployable base to operate out of it. At this point, I’ve unlocked nearly every recipe that can be unlocked without tablets, but I also really messed up. I’ve harvested tons of resources since the game started and farmed a metric ton of fragments. The very first mistake I made in the game was not understanding the difference between unlocking recipes with fragments and advancing my crafting. My mistake wasted a lot of higher quality resources and set me back a lot more than I would have liked. I thought I’d help readers who are interested in starting their own industrial empires by walking through some of my problems and offering a few recommendations.

I also failed to understand several critical pieces of how the crafting in the game works. I started trying to get my feet wet in the industrial side of things this last week and learned that I’d made a number of mistakes. Last Oasis has a cool crafting system that takes a bit more to figure out than some of those other games that I’ve enjoyed over the years. Follow the money, and you sometimes know what adversaries will do before they do.

On the surface, it’s just about making in-game money, but economic information is always informed by political and military action. I love playing the long game with the market and providing my adopted team critical information, all backed by a network of intelligence activity. My favorite things to do in these sorts of situations is to invest my time into crafting and trading, which eventually leads to my ultimate goal of intelligence collection and clandestine support for allied operations. No matter how rough the environment, it’s a recipe for some of my most fondly-remembered games. The drama and political depth that players can’t help but create among themselves always makes for the most compelling stories. Hampered by infighting and drama, it’s a question of whether the clans can pull together their disparate efforts to protect their claimed territory, or whether previously subjugated clans behind the current lines of conflict will first revolt and create enough logistical disarray for the federated clans to achieve ultimate victory.

In their path, coalitions of free clans unite to push back the onslaught of that digital horde. My experience in Last Oasis has been fascinating as a rolling tide of modern Mongolians sweep their way across the map subjugating all the clans they pass over.
