The Craft Bench is a basic manual crafting station. The HUB has a Craft Bench built into it, but additional benches can be constructed elsewhere through the build menu. Almost all components in the game can be crafted here except for equipment, which must be crafted in an Equipment Workshop.

Alternate Recipes must be automated in machines and cannot be crafted at the craft bench.

Multiplayer

Each craft bench can be only be occupied by one player at a time, so building multiple craft benches in a multiplayer game is recommended.

Behind A Vehicle

The Tractor and the Truck both come with a free craft bench at the back of the vehicle.

Crafting

Single ingredient items, also refer to Constructor. Each crafting step takes 0.45 seconds.

Mass Crafting

To craft, the player can press (and hold) space instead of the left mouse button. This can be helpful when the player wants to hand-craft a large number of items. After continuously crafting for a while, the hammer button will start glowing red, and boiling sounds can be heard. This seems to have no effect on the game.

History

• Patch 0.3:
  • Crafting is now 33% slower (the time to do 3 steps previously now only does 2 steps).
  • Tweaked the amount of crafting steps of many items.
  • Clicking the metal area surrounding the Craft button now produces a cosmetic "hammer hit" effect.
• Patch 0.2.1.19: Model updated
