The Carpentry Bench makes the tools, tool parts, barrels and furniture parts the rest of the colony builds on. It belongs to the carpenter, it needs a carpenter’s hammer from the Forge, and at 153 recipes it is the largest catalogue in the game — every one of them shipped with the game.
It runs on planks — oak, fir and maple in small, medium and large, all cut at the Logging Station — plus the oak wood scraps they leave behind, metal loops and arrow heads from the Forge, and leather and cotton for the upholstered pieces.
The catalogue is steep rather than long: 4 recipes at level 0, 34 at level 1, 5 at level 2, and 110 at level 3, which is essentially the whole furniture range. Time is the other cost — 128 of the 153 recipes take ten minutes each, so the quick work is worth doing first.
Start with the small wooden handle: level 0, two oak wood scraps, thirty seconds, and the part every smith wants.
How the carpentry bench works — the hammer, what changes if you are not a carpenter, and where the output goes.
