How to unlock the Master Craftsman achievement in The Escapists - Definitive Guide
Master Craftsman Complete List!
***I recommend you use this list and make items as you play through the game. As soon as you see something you need to make things, just make it and toss it away if you don't need it! I also recommend you snap the achievements and verify the tracker counts any item you make!***
Important note: I wasted a huge amount of time trying to make something from the "Dice" and "Speaker" items as they both say they are components. Unfortunately this is incorrect and as far as this achievement is concerned they don't make anything!!!
Another important note: It seems a few people have been stuck at 98% and have had to re-craft things they have done before to get the achievement to pop. To save you some trouble I would suggest to snap your achievements and verify that the "Master Craftsman" achievement progress bar moves up whenever you are creating something for the first time. If it does not go up, make it again and if it still doesn't make a note of the item and come back to it later probably on another level. So far I haven't encountered anyone who has not been able to get this achievement so it's not a huge issue, just something to make a note of.
Handy Tip: "Fooga" has said in the comments that you can reload your save after making an item and then make another item. For example if you have one putty and 5 keys you can make one key mould then reload to get the putty back and then make a different coloured key mould. This won't give you all the key moulds of course it is just to save time towards your achievement. I would suggest doing this as one of your last achievements as you will need to make most things anyway throughout the game. If you want to get the achievement out of the way or find yourself missing a few items that use similar components this tip may help you. "Fooga" has said that he did this successfully and got the achievement without any issues. Thanks Fooga! :)

Do you know if you need to make all the Plastic Keys and all the Key Moulds?

Yup you do need to make them all. I really only used the blue (Cyan) and red ones but the easiest way would be to get all your moulds ready and always keep 1 or 2 on you. You can do them one at a time or if you want to get them all at once start beating the guards up outside your cell so you can run in and out to swap the moulds as you get the copies!

The games full of items in which can be crafted to make weapons and equipment which is vital for escaping each prison. You will likely craft the majority of items as you progress through the game but you will need a checklist as some items you will unlikely create on your own accord. As such, you will need a checklist to track what you have and haven't crafted (see complete list below). The majority of items you will find by searching the desks of other inmates in the prison. Other items can be bought off inmates or looted from their bodies when the are unconscious. In addition to this, some items can only be crafted within certain prisons and require a certain level of Intellect. Note: Your stats will drop over time so you may occasionally need to go back and increase your Intellect stat, see Grey Matters for more details.
In order to craft you must have the items in your held inventory and then press or go into the menu and select crafting. You then move the items into the boxes and select craft. You will see the item that the combination will create in the box below your items when you are able to create something. If you are short on intellect it will also tell you how much more intellect you require in order to craft the item. The game saves as soon as you craft an item.
The following list outlines every item you need to craft to unlock this trophy and what combination of individual items you need to craft them.
Weapons
Clothing
Concealment / Escape Devices / Components
Note: You will need to make Key Mold and Key Copy of all 5 different colours.
