9-24-24 Added new crafting recipes for 1.1 content
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: Not sure if it's necessary or not, but as of 9-1-24 I've updated the spreadsheet to include 1.1 content. The devs have added the Monster Scarecrow Recipe to the game.

Counts are off. Need to fix. Also, as of 9-3-24 I've added the count of materials needed for crafting. Full disclosure I think I counted one extra battery; I listed all needed eggs as large ones; any recipe that use "any ore" I added to the bronze ore count; and any recipe that used,"any monster essence" imadded to the flame essence. I don't believe any recipe in particular used earth essence, but it was on my list, and I never removed it.

If any sees any issues, just let me know!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE: This achievement is still broken. I've reached out to the devs on the bug reports channel and they have been informed of this achievement not popping.

https://discord.com/channels/623097219628662784/125881142321...

Here is the discord channel for the bug report.

I've been told that they will reach back out after looking into it.

Hi all! I know that this achievement still (at least I think it is) unobtainable on Xbox, but people in the Coral Island Discord have been able to get this achievemnet on other systems (Steam and Playstation) thanks to the devs latest patch. So with hope I made this google doc in order to help keep track of what you've made and where to find recipies that you may be missing.

I'd like to also add that the devs have confirmed to me on the Discord that the DLC recipes are not needed to get this achievement, and the latest patch should have removed the requirement to craft the Monster Scarecrow for this achievement.

I hope this tracker helps, and if I missed something or spelled something wrong let me know.
This spreadsheet was made using the Coral Island Wiki and unlocking recipies as I played the game.

Huh, I've tried crafting everything twice now and I can't get it to pop. Am I missing anything on the checklist?

By KatHasSnacks on 05 Jul 2024 16:52

Just chiming in to say i finally unlocked this damn achievement, turns out i was only missing the scrap scarecrow. I was already set up to create everything again, which i had to, and i started playing this soon after it hit game pass back in November.

This achievement is definitely obtainable as of June 30 2024. Like many of these achievements it was a bit annoying. You need all the normal stuff you'd think about in your crafting list and will require level 10 in all masters to get all recipes. You will also need all of lings upgrades, and all scarecrows (except monster which doesn't appear to be craftable and doesn't count) I needed all the merit ones which cost almost 1800 merit, all the ones from the cabin, and I think 2 from the Halloween event.

Yeah I'm thinking that this achievements may have the same issue of the legendary farmer one and the changing versions may have overwritten the status of whether things have been crafted or not on a save file. And that everything may have to be crafted all over again. I'm slowly working on getting the last few things needed to craft everything to verify.

By KatHasSnacks on 01 Jul 2024 14:59

I really dont get it! I have been on my save today and crafted one of everything in the game, go to bed to progress and still no achievement!

I have double checked the cabin, lings and all shops! I have bought everything except a few elixirs from the merit shop.

I am max in all skills and have ALL characters at max hearts.

I have completed all collections, the museum, and restored the temple.

In my crafting screen I still have 14 "greyed out" recipes at the bottom which I was assuming were content yet to be added!

Does anyone who has managed to unlock this recently have any greyed out recipes at the bottom of their crafting screen, and if so how many?

By Reelbiggerfish on 02 Jul 2024 17:22

Legit just came to report this same finding, I'm trying to see in the discord if anythings missing or if it has to be done on a new save or what the deal is. Did you unlock the in game badge for the achievement or did that not unlock for you as well?

By KatHasSnacks on 02 Jul 2024 19:44

Nope the in game badge hasn't unlocked for me either 🤷‍♂️
If it requires a whole new save file then I guess its a game I wont ever be completing because am I hell starting all over again!

By Reelbiggerfish on 02 Jul 2024 23:21

I crafted everything on the checklist again on my main save file from when I started playing and was able to unlock the achievement. I too still have 14 grey recipes at the bottom of the list. The in game badge and achievement unlocked after crafting the last item, I didn't have to wait until the next morning.

By ADB Freelancer on 05 Jul 2024 16:13

I only crafted what was on the checklist, minus the monster scarecrow. I crafted nearly everything in one day, I had to wait a day to make the gingerbread scarecrow, float trap and buy and craft the Auto Trash collector recipe.

By ADB Freelancer on 05 Jul 2024 17:04

Well I have no idea what you are doing differently ADB.

But I just went and meticulously crafted one thing at a time using the checklist ensuring I didn't miss anything, and still no unlock even after sleeping!

I give up with this game, its a broken mess!

By Reelbiggerfish on 05 Jul 2024 17:36

The only thing I can think of is, maybe I crafted something in the past that was removed but still counts towards the achievement... The game does have quite a few bugs, that's why I tried doing it all in one day. The game crashing during saving at the end of the night has several times caused me to lose track of what I had caught/shipped/donated/offered.

By ADB Freelancer on 05 Jul 2024 17:56

Maybe I'll try and start a new save and see if that'll work. I dunno. If I do it won't be soon. I reported this as a bug in the Coral Island Discord though if you'd like add to it.

By KatHasSnacks on 05 Jul 2024 18:09

I'm still having trouble unlocking this. I used your spreadsheet (very useful btw, thank you) and went though every item slowly and never got the badge or achievement. I'm leaning towards thinking that it needs be done on a new save for now until it's properly fixed, just like BOS Finest was "fixed" a while back.

By Grenbopulos on 08 Jul 2024 03:38

How can I have the monster scarecrow recipe, when I buy it and it doesn’t unlock?

By Yule on 18 Jul 2024 17:51

Monster scarecrow isn't required. Cannot currently craft it.

By JustDLeigh on 20 Jul 2024 14:51

All crafted but not unlocked, so a second game, great...

By Yule on 21 Jul 2024 10:19

Hey kat minor change i would suggest... the coral hero scarecrow comes from the merit (community center) not the abandoned house (concerned monkey)

By Daz3nth on 08 Sep 2024 22:29

Updated

Thanks for the info and great spreadsheet! I saw there was another update to the game today so figured I would give it another shot. After gathering all of the materials I started going through your checklist and it popped for me on the 8th item I crafted which was the auto petter. I know I had crafted it previously since I have 2 of them working in my barn and coop. I can also confirm that you don't need to craft the 1.1 items as the only one I did was the solar core. Now to work on legendary farmer and sweetheart achievements and hopefully have some luck with those as well.

By Larvi1 on 08 Oct 2024 05:15

finally unlocked this one. stupid slime goop and slime trap were the one to pop it. still can't get the legendary farmer one to pop though
