Workbench FAQ
Which workbench should I build first?
Basic Workbench first (4 Logs + 4 Stone), then Furnace for smelting, then Blacksmith Anvil for metal tools.
Do higher tier workbenches replace lower ones?
Yes, upgraded workbenches include all recipes from previous tiers. You can remove old ones once upgraded.
What's needed for Workbench Tier 2?
30 Copper Ingots + 20 Iron Ingots + 5 Linen Scraps. Linen Scraps are the bottleneck - farm Skeletons early!
