Recipes are what give troves in Upland a purpose. Whether it is to mint an Uppie, or to progress to create a different type of trove, players are required to collect specific combinations of troves, or recipes. Different Uppies an items will require different recipes. For example, wheat troves and milk troves could be brought to a bakery, and combined to receive bread troves. Bakeries are a form of service structure that will play a large part in the trove economy. Learn more about service structures here.
