NOTE on Sacrificial Beetles: As far as I can tell the sacrificial beetle is not part of the recipe, it only changes 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 types.

Item	Recipe	Stats
Tin Hammer	Junk Cube + Junk Cube	Base Break Chance 10%
Bronze Hammer	Tin Hammer + Junk Tesseract + Tin Pollen	Crafting Bonus +5% Base Break Chance 5%
Mithril Hammer	Bronze Hammer + Junk Tesseract + Bronze Pollen	Crafting Bonus +20% Base Break Chance 10%
Adamantine Hammer	Mithril Hammer + Junk Tesseract + Mithril Pollen	Crafting Bonus +35% Base Break Chance 2% Break chance after first use 5%
Diamond Hammer	Adamantine Hammer + Junk Tesseract + Adamantine Pollen	Crafting Bonus +90% Base Break Chance 1% Break chance after first use 0%
BeetleBoy Key	Bronze Rarity Flower (i.e., Marigold) + Junk Cube

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

You can try and tier up Flowers and Beetles by smashing two(2) of the same rarity items together. I have had failures where 2 flowers of the same tier output a flower of the same tier, and have seen screenshots of 2 greens + green sacrifice = 1 green output.

Tier up examples:

Output	Recipe	Sacrifice	Hammer
Mithril rarity beetle (i.e.,Monarch)	Bronze rarity beetle x2 (i.e., Ladybug x2)	Green Beetle	Tin Hammer
Mithril rarity flower (i.e.,Morning Glory)	Bronze rarity flower x2 (i.e., Milk Thistle x2)	Green Beetle	Tin Hammer

ORDER MATTERS [discuss?? is it just another level of RNG?]
(No apparently it does not? )

Nectar, cattail, pinecone, moss, gunpowder = those are modifiers bringing the previous tier beetle to the next level (color of the modifier)

Output	Recipe
Monarch	Nectar + Ladybug
Pond Beetle	Cattail + Ladybug
Goliath Beetle	Pinecone + Pond Beetle
Stag Beetle	Moss + Pond Beetle
Bombardier Beetle	Gunpowder + Pond Beetle

Convert beetles to flowers of the same tier by smashing them with a Junk Cube.
NOTE: These recipes may just output one kind of flower, there's still discussion

Examples:

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

Presumably this works for higher tier flowers as well - this has not been tested yet though (maybe not, see below)
As of right now this only seems to work one way eg: 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.

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 (i.e., Pond Beetle)	Giraffe Weevil
Camellia + mithril beetle (i.e., Pond Beetle)	Pillbug
Morning Glory + mithril beetle (i.e., Pond Beetle)	Imperial Tortoise Beetle
Pincushion + adamantine beetle (i.e., Stag Beetle)	Sabertooth Longhorn Beetle
Gazania + adamantine beetle (i.e., Stag Beetle)	Sunset Moth
