Craft Bench

The Craft Bench is a basic manual crafting station. The HUB has a Craft Bench built into it, while additional benches can be constructed elsewhere in the world by using the build menu. Most components in the game can be crafted here except for equipment (which must be crafted in an Equipment Workshop), alternate recipes (which have to be made in machines), recipes involving fluids (those can only be made in the Refinery) and certain radioactive items (which, again, have to be made in machines).

Multiplayer
As a Craft Bench can be only be occupied by only one player at a time, building multiple Craft Benches in a multiplayer session is recommended.

Recipes
Note: Alternate, unreleased and radioactive recipes cannot be crafted in the Craft Bench

Mass crafting
To craft, the player can press (and hold) or  instead of. 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.

Early game crafting speed comparison
Below is the comparison of manual crafting speed vs machine crafting speed. This should give you some idea about which items should be prioritized for automation: items with low manual crafting speed should be automated first. 'Machine' refers to either the Constructor or the Smelter, which both operate at 4 MW. Dual ingredient items are not included as they should be purchased from the AWESOME Shop during a speedrun. Coupons can be farmed by sinking the items looted from the Crash Sites.

Crafting consumable equipment
Crafting consumable equipment at Craft Bench takes 2x crafting clicks compared to Equipment Workshop. For example, crafting Spiked Rebar require 2 crafting clicks at Craft Bench but only need 1 crafting click at the Equipment Workshop.
