Robot Hospice Crafting Guide: Build Items & Upgrade Robots

Understanding the Workshop

The Workshop is your central hub for all crafting activities in Robot Hospice. Located in the main facility, this area becomes available after completing the introductory shift. Here, you can repair damaged robots, create comfort items, and upgrade existing parts to improve their quality of life.

The Workshop unlocks after your first shift with a robot. Speak to the Head Caretaker in the main lobby to receive your initial tool kit.

Crafting in Robot Hospice revolves around three core activities: Repair, Gift Making, and Part Upgrading. Each activity requires specific materials that you can find throughout the facility or earn by completing daily tasks.

Gathering Crafting Materials

Materials are the backbone of your crafting system. You will need to collect various items to create anything in the Workshop. Here are the primary material types and where to find them.

Scrap MetalHallways, Storage RoomsBasic repairs, tool crafting
Circuit FragmentsAbandoned Robots, Workshop DrawersElectronic upgrades
Memory CrystalsRobot Rooms, Garden AreaGift crafting, memory restoration
Soft FabricLaundry Room, Supply ClosetComfort items, bedding

Daily Scavenging Route

Start in the East Wing storage room, then move to the central garden. Check under benches and near the fountain for Memory Crystals. End your route in the Maintenance Bay for Lubricant Oil.

Efficient Material Farming

Focus on one wing per day to avoid backtracking. The West Wing has the highest concentration of Scrap Metal and Circuit Fragments, making it ideal for bulk gathering.

Crafting Recipes and Blueprints

You start with basic blueprints and unlock more advanced recipes as you progress. Each recipe requires specific materials and a certain amount of Workshop energy, which regenerates over time.

Basic Repair Kit

This is the first recipe you learn. It allows you to fix minor cracks and scratches on robot exteriors.

  • Materials: 3 Scrap Metal, 1 Lubricant Oil
  • Workshop Energy: 10
  • Effect: Restores 15% external durability

Comfort Gift Box

Create personalized gifts to boost robot happiness during their final days. Each robot has unique preferences.

  • Materials: 2 Soft Fabric, 1 Memory Crystal
  • Workshop Energy: 15
  • Effect: Increases happiness by 20 points

Pay attention to each robot's dialogue. They often hint at their favorite colors or memories, which helps you craft the perfect gift. Matching a gift to a robot's preference doubles the happiness gain.

Memory Amplifier

This advanced recipe helps restore fragmented memories, allowing robots to recall their past experiences with their human companions.

  • Materials: 5 Circuit Fragments, 3 Memory Crystals, 2 Scrap Metal
  • Workshop Energy: 30
  • Effect: Unlocks one memory scene per use

Upgrading Robot Parts

As you progress, you can upgrade various robot parts to improve their functionality and comfort. Each upgrade requires specific materials and tools.

  1. Assess the Robot's Needs

    Examine the robot's current state. Check for broken limbs, faulty voice boxes, or degraded sensors. Each issue requires a different upgrade path.

  2. Gather Required Materials

    Collect the necessary materials based on the upgrade type. Limb upgrades need more Scrap Metal, while sensor upgrades require Circuit Fragments.

  3. Apply the Upgrade

    Use the Workshop bench to apply the upgrade. This process takes in-game time, during which the robot rests in the recovery bay.

  4. Test the Results

    After the upgrade, interact with the robot to test its new functionality. Successful upgrades improve their mood and unlock new dialogue options.

For new players, focus on upgrades that improve robot mobility first. This allows them to move around the facility and access different areas, which increases their overall happiness.

First Upgrade: Leg Actuators

Improves walking speed and stability. Robots with upgraded legs can visit the garden and other rooms independently. Materials: 8 Scrap Metal, 2 Lubricant Oil.

Second Upgrade: Voice Synthesizer

Restores clear speech. Robots with working voice boxes can tell stories and sing songs. Materials: 5 Circuit Fragments, 3 Memory Crystals.

Third Upgrade: Visual Sensors

Enhances sight and recognition. Robots can identify objects and people more clearly. Materials: 6 Circuit Fragments, 4 Scrap Metal.

Advanced Crafting Techniques

Once you have mastered basic crafting, you can experiment with advanced techniques to create unique items.

Combining Materials

Some recipes allow you to combine materials to create hybrid items. For example, mixing Memory Crystals with Soft Fabric creates a Memory Quilt, which provides both comfort and memory restoration.

  • Memory Quilt: 3 Soft Fabric, 2 Memory Crystals
  • Effect: Gradual happiness boost over 24 hours

Rare Material Locations

Certain rare materials are hidden in specific locations. The Golden Circuit is found only in the locked room on the third floor, accessible after completing five robot farewells. The Eternal Crystal appears in the garden during the final week of each robot's stay.

Rare materials are limited. Use them wisely on robots that have the highest emotional impact. Saving them for the final robot in each wing is often the best strategy for achieving the best endings.

Crafting for Endgame Content

In the late game, crafting becomes essential for unlocking special endings and secret content. Certain items are required to trigger unique farewell scenes.

The Farewell Gift

This special item is crafted once per playthrough and used during the final ceremony with a robot.

  • Materials: 10 Memory Crystals, 5 Golden Circuits, 3 Eternal Crystals
  • Workshop Energy: 100
  • Effect: Unlocks the 'Peaceful Departure' ending variant

Secret Blueprint Locations

Explore every room thoroughly. Some blueprints are hidden behind interactive objects or require solving simple puzzles. The Harmonic Resonator blueprint is located in the attic, accessible by repairing the elevator on the second floor.

How to find the Harmonic Resonator blueprint: Repair the second-floor elevator using 5 Scrap Metal and 3 Circuit Fragments. Ride it to the attic. Search the dusty shelves on the left side of the room.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I craft items without a workbench? No, all crafting requires access to a Workshop workbench. Each wing has one workbench that you can use after unlocking it by completing specific tasks.

Do materials respawn? Yes, most materials respawn after 24 in-game hours. Scrap Metal and Circuit Fragments respawn faster than Memory Crystals and rare components.

What happens if I craft the wrong item? You cannot undo a craft, but you can disassemble some items at a loss. Disassembling returns 50% of the original materials.

Is there a limit to how many upgrades a robot can receive? Each robot can receive up to five upgrades. Choose wisely based on their personality and needs for maximum emotional impact.
