NOTE on Sacrificial Beetles:

• As far as I can tell the sacrificial beetle is not part of the recipe
• It may change the probability of success or failure of the crafting attempt.
• It may alter the rarity of the output (for example, the Pond + Pond smash recipe with Purple sacrifice = Goliath, while Green sacrifice output Monarch) YMMV!

The assemble workbench recipes craft with 100% success rate from items placed in the input slots

Note: You can only have 1 hammer of a given type, but you can have 1 hammer of each type.

Hammer and Sacrifice are not part of the recipe, but modify Crafting Bonus, durability loss, and maybe success rate? There's an interesting note about Grigger Maxxing on the protips page

Do NOT rely on this to work - be prepared to lose beetles/flowers/hammers in this process (yes hammer breaks really predictably in this recipe - try 2 times in sequence and its likely guaranteed to break). Generally here is what I found increases success rate when i upgrade two 'flowers' to higher color/rarity:

1. use it as the first 'smash' action for the day (when all hammer break chances are reset to 0% after cheese claim)
2. make sure to use hammer with 0% break chance
3. do not attempt this twice in a single day, across all hammers (simply using a 2nd hammer with 0% break chance isn't going to work)

I recommend looking to beetle to flower transmutation and crafting artifacts to upgrade your lower tier materials instead of this.

Recipe	Output
Bronze rarity beetle x2 (e.g., Ladybug x2)	Mithril rarity beetle (e.g.,Monarch)
Bronze rarity flower x2 (e.g., Milk Thistle x2)	Mithril rarity flower (e.g.,Morning Glory)

There is a layer of RNG with artifact crafting where you have a chance to craft different artifacts from the same recipe.

Recipe	Output
Bronze Beetle (e.g., Ladybug, Purple Beetle) + Bronze Pollen	Nectar or Cattail
Mithril Beetle (e.g., Pond Beetle, Monarch) + Mithril Pollen	Pinecone, Moss or Gunpowder

Convert beetles to flowers of the same tier by smashing them with a Junk Cube.

Examples:

Recipe	Output
Tin Rarity Beetle (Green Beetle) + Junk Cube	Tin Rarity Flower (Daisy)
Bronze Rarity Beetle (Ladybug) + Junk Cube	Bronze Rarity Flower (Milk Thistle)
Mithril Rarity Beetle (Pond Beetle) + Junk Cube	Mithril Rarity Flower (Morning Glory)
Adamantine Rarity Beetle (Stag Beetle) + Junk Cube	Adamantine Rarity Flower (Pincushion)

As of right now this only works one way: you combine a beetle with a junk cube to get a flower. You cannot combine a flower with a junk cube to get a beetle. SAD!!!

Using flowers and beetles of the same higher tier rarity can guarantee a certain species of beetle on a successful smash

Recipe	Output
Royal Poinciana + mithril beetle (e.g., Pond Beetle)	Giraffe Weevil
Camellia + mithril beetle (e.g., Pond Beetle)	Pillbug
Morning Glory + mithril beetle (e.g., Pond Beetle)	Imperial Tortoise Beetle
Pincushion + adamantine beetle (e.g., Stag Beetle)	Sabertooth Longhorn Beetle
Gazania + adamantine beetle (e.g., Stag Beetle)	Sunset Moth
Black Lotus + Sabertooth Longhorn Beetle + Sunset Moth	Mars Rhino Beetle
