The supplied references agree on two demo ship recipes: Hull Protection requires 3 Coral Fibers, 2 Bug Slime, 2 Rope and 2 Rubber; the Upgraded Engine requires 10 Metal Plate, 4 Gear, 2 Machine Oil and 1 Carburetor. Both are associated with the Ship Upgrades Table or lathe. Research unlocks and installation are separate requirements, so check the recipe shown by your current build before crafting.
October 2026 demo; Early Access parity not tested. Research checked November 9, 2026.

Cross-checked ship recipes
These formulas are the supported subset in the collected crafting research. One reference identifies demo build 26140998, and the other records the boat progression in October demo coverage. Agreement on these entries does not make the table a complete database of everything craftable in Early Access.
| Output | Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|---|
| Hull Protection | Coral Fibers | 3 |
| Hull Protection | Bug Slime | 2 |
| Hull Protection | Rope | 2 |
| Hull Protection | Rubber | 2 |
| Upgraded Engine | Metal Plate | 10 |
| Upgraded Engine | Gear | 4 |
| Upgraded Engine | Machine Oil | 2 |
| Upgraded Engine | Carburetor | 1 |
Read each output as a separate recipe rather than one combined material requirement. Hull Protection belongs to the earlier part of the documented boat chain, while the engine depends on its own progression and component access. The table states ingredient quantities without attaching unsupported prices, farming locations or upgrade statistics.
Check the station and research first
The recorded station for these ship components is the Ship Upgrades Table or lathe. A complete set of ingredients does not replace the relevant research unlock. Confirm both conditions before interpreting an unavailable recipe as evidence that the ingredient list is wrong.
The boat upgrades guide explains this sequence in the context of John's Dry Dock. Access to the location, working maintenance equipment and module research are different progression states. Reviewing them in order helps you distinguish a station that is not ready from a recipe that is ready but missing a component.
The developer's official announcements confirm crafting and ship research as systems. They do not provide these exact formulas in the supplied notes, which is why the numerical table is labelled as demo-reference material. That label keeps an announced system and a version-specific ingredient list from being presented as the same kind of evidence.
Handle Hull Protection as its own task
Hull Protection uses Coral Fibers, Bug Slime, Rope and Rubber in the documented quantities. Its position in the recorded route makes it a progression component rather than an optional recipe inserted into an assumed optimal build. Check the journal for the installation requirement after producing the module.
If the crafted item seems to have disappeared, inspect module storage before making another copy. The source notes distinguish crafting, storage and installation, so absence from one inventory view does not establish a failed production action. Locate the produced component and follow the placement interaction appropriate to the objective.
The research does not establish an exhaustive gathering route for every ingredient. It would therefore be misleading to attach invented containers, respawn timers or drop rates to this table. Use the recipe to identify the missing material, then rely on the current game's objective and interaction information for obtaining it.
Resolve the Carburetor prerequisite for the engine
The Upgraded Engine recipe includes one Carburetor alongside Metal Plate, Gear and Machine Oil. The recorded progression connects that part to the Harpooner contract, which unlocks its purchase. Completing the contract does not automatically mean the Carburetor has been acquired.
Check purchase availability and actual possession as separate states when the engine recipe remains blocked. That distinction is more specific than a general instruction to complete more fishing or unlock every visible node. The Harpooner page addresses the documented catch that connects to this part of progression.
After crafting the engine, confirm that it has been installed rather than only produced. The same research-to-crafting-to-installation distinction applies to both supported ship outputs. A journal objective about the vessel may require the fitted module, not just a recipe completion at the station.
Keep lure recipes in their proper context
The demo material also records introductory crafted lures, but their station and purpose differ from these ship components. Wind-Up Tin and Rainbow Fin are covered in the bait guide, with their fish pairings and workbench unlocks. Keeping that information together prevents a fishing-lure ingredient list from being mistaken for a ship recipe.
Fish processing contributes to crafting progression in the official fishing diary. In the practical demo notes, Fish Meat also connects fishing to fuel production. The fuel guide explains that chain separately because making fuel and transferring it are additional interactions rather than boat-module installation.
Why conflicting formulas are omitted
The supplied recipe references disagree on Afterburner ingredients. No formula from that disagreement is presented here as the correct current recipe. Likewise, an item found in extracted data is not treated as proof that the installed build allows its production.
This table is intended to answer which ingredient quantities the available references actually support. It does not claim to replace the live recipe interface or cover every future module. When the current recipe differs, the build shown in your game is the relevant requirement for the materials you are about to spend.
