Survive Bikini Bottom Crafting Planner

Open this when the bench unlocks at hive level 2. The workbench guide explains why. This tool is the order you pin in chat.

Queue

Priority	Craft	Who farms	Stop if
1	Treasure Map	Anyone with 3 jelly to spare	You already have one
2	Pirate Compass	Scrap runner	Needle exists
3	Bag / Mailman upgrades	Whoever walks past him	Medium bag owned
4	Workbench Tier 3 + Quickster Pad	Whole squad dumps scrap	One pad you can steer
5	Better net	Jelly pair	Hive is already 6
6	Sea Mines on doors	Scrap leftover	You are planting in the circle
7	Bamboo walls	Jelly leftover only	Meter would drop to yellow
8	One bed	Whoever is tired of dusk	You own any sleep tool
9	Fruit Patch	After escorts stabilize	Food is already trivial

Never invert 7 and 1. Walls are not vision.

Role split

• Jelly pair: nets, deposit, leave. They own hive light and Sea Bear uptime.
• Scrap runner: chests, motorcycle bits, Mailman. They own compass and pad.
• Escort body: empty bag, no bench tourism during a walk. Rescue checklist.

If you only have two players, jelly still wins. A pad on a dark hive is a coffin with wheels.

Worked example: four players, hive just hit 2

Jelly pair leaves with nets and a promise to be back before dusk. Scrap runner hits the nearest wreck and the first police station, not because spatulas are a craft, but because the escort body wants a real melee before Krabs. Bench queue is map, compass, then every scrap into Tier 3. Nobody touches bamboo. Nobody crafts a second flashlight. The escort body holds an empty slot for the key.

If the jelly pair comes home late and the meter is yellow, the pad wait continues. Speed is not worth a dark camp. That sentence is the whole planner.

When hive 4 opens, do not rebuild the queue around “more walls for Sandy.” Sandy is a boss fight and a walk. Bring food and a reserved mag. Craft after she is home.

Friday caveat

If a patch adds a row, craft one, do not rebuild the whole queue around it until you know the cost. Log the change mentally via the Friday tracker.

Item ranks: weapons. First hour that unlocks this bench: getting started. Class that starts with map and compass: Survivalist on classes.

If scrap is late and jelly is early, still do not invert the queue. A wall ring around a bench that cannot make a compass is a pretty failure. Vision first, speed second, furniture never first.

Name the scrap runner in chat. Unnamed jobs become nobody jobs. If nobody answers, the jelly pair does not leave camp. A hive with two nets and no compass is still safer than a dark street with a pad. Leave the bench if dusk is close. Crafts wait. Bears do not.

Repeat the queue after every successful escort. A pad you already own does not need a second copy. A compass you dropped in the maze does. Check the bag before you craft from memory.
