The Trucker Hat is the Hat Mouse's payment for breadth at the crafting bench. The Artisan achievement asks for thirty different items crafted, not thirty of any one thing, so it rewards a farmer who makes one of everything rather than a thousand fences. Once the achievement lands, the mouse stocks the hat for 2,000g. The cap itself is deliberately ordinary, a solid front with a mesh back, the sort of thing worn by somebody who genuinely works outdoors. Reaching thirty recipes usually takes most of a first year, because recipes arrive with skill levels rather than with money.
Location
Recipes come from several directions, and the skills are the main one. Each level in farming, foraging, mining, fishing and combat hands over new instructions, and they are spread thin on purpose: a Tapper turns up early in foraging while the Rain Totem waits almost at the top of the same skill, and an Oil Maker only appears well up the farming track. A handful of the rarest are not learned at all but bought with Qi Gems in the Walnut Room on Ginger Island, the Heavy Tapper among them, which still needs hardwood and a Radioactive Bar to build once the recipe is in hand.
Because the achievement counts distinct items, a cheap recipe is worth exactly as much as an expensive one. The quickest route is to craft one of everything the moment it unlocks, even the unglamorous things: a chest, a torch, a fence, a gate, a scarecrow, a sprinkler and a Bee House each move the counter a single step and together cover a quarter of the target.
The hat is then waiting at the Abandoned House in the south of Cindersap Forest. The mouse living there sends a letter the morning after a farmer's first achievement of any sort, and its stock grows by one hat for every achievement earned afterwards.
Effect
The front panel is stiff and the back is open mesh, with a curved peak over the eyes. It changes no stat, as no hat in this game does, so it is worn for the look alone. That look is plain enough to disappear into any outfit, which is its strength: a farmer in a trucker cap and work clothes reads as a working farmer rather than a costumed adventurer. It is the obvious everyday alternative to the showier masks and crowns on the same shelf.
Notes
Crafting pays out three hats in total, and they come in order. Fifteen different items earns the Daisy, thirty earns this cap, and crafting every recipe in the game earns the Gnome's Cap. That last one is among the longest jobs in a save, since the list reaches as far as the recipes sold behind Mr. Qi's counter, so the Trucker Hat is the comfortable middle rung rather than the end of the road.
