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)[1] 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) |

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.

- 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.
