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
• Recipes involving fluids, which can be made in the Refinery, Packager, or Blender
• Recipes made in the Particle Accelerator
• Alternate recipes, radioactive items and all Space Elevator project parts, all of which have to be made in machines.

Recipes

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

Usage

Mass crafting

To craft, the player can tap Space instead of holding down on the Craft 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 (currently) 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.

Item	Manual crafting speed (item/min)	Machine crafting speed (item/min)	Manual speed multiplier
Iron Ingot	80	30	2.66
Iron Rod	240	15	16
Iron Plate	160	20	8
Copper Ingot	80	30	2.66
Wire	240	30	8
Cable	240	30	8
Screw	320	40	8
Concrete	120	15	8
Biomass (leaves)	1200	60	20
Biomass (wood)	2400	300	8
Solid Biofuel	96	60	1.6
Copper Sheet	80	10	8

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 two crafting clicks at Craft Bench but only needs one crafting click at the Equipment Workshop.

Multiplayer

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

History

• Patch 0.4.0.4: Now can be rotated 45 degrees when placing instead of only 90 degrees
• Patch 0.4.0.0:
  • Keys other than RMB and space no longer work for pressing the Craft button
  • Pressing space now holds down the Craft button until it is pressed again
• Patch 0.3:
  • Crafting is now 33% slower (the time to do three steps previously now only does two 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
