Dragon Quest Builders 2 features new and old recipes, allowing the player to craft simple or complex rooms to accomplish missions and requirements, as well as building unique towns and buildings. Each room provides specific functions for the player and residents. With the introduction of the gratitude points system, how residents use the rooms can give the player points used to unlock block and item recipes, Explorer Shores areas, and direct block purchasing in the post-game.
All completed rooms will display in the player's Builderpedia. Grayed-out rooms listed in the Builderpedia identify rooms not yet built in the current area. Until a room has yet to be constructed at least once, the room recipe itself will be displayed in the Builderpedia as a series of question marks; this however does not apply to both the secret recipes and to any recipe introduced by the various DLCs, as both of these kinds of room recipes are completly hidden and are not displayed in any way in the Builderpedia until discovered.

Room Combinations[]
When two specific types of room are built next to each other with at least one wall/fence in common, they will combine forming a different, single unit. If any of the rooms involved changes type for any reason (like a Fright bulb sprouting) the combination will disappear until the initial conditions are restored. In the map screen, specific icons will indicate the position of any combinations built on the isle.
* The exact rooms listed are required -- they cannot be replaced with variants of the same type of room, e.g. a Restaurant requires a Simple Kitchen and will not work if you use an Agricultural Kitchen.
* These combinations only work on the Isle of Awakening or Buildertopia isles. If built elsewhere, combination will not happen and the rooms will remain as separate individual rooms. Postgame hints given by some NPCs may sound like they're requesting for you to build a particular combination on the current island, but if you pay careful attention they do mention building it on the Isle of Awakening.
