Build cost and unlock
Unlock: Technology level 8. Build cost: 20 Wood, 10 Stone, 5 Ingot. Place it under a roof so rain does not interrupt working Pals.
What it crafts
This bench makes mid-tier armour, medicine, glider upgrades and higher-tier spheres. Anything above its tier greys out until you build the next station up.
Worker requirement
Only Pals with the Handiwork suitability can staff it. Work speed scales with suitability level, so a level 3 Handiwork Pal is roughly three times a level 1.
Placement
Place it within a few metres of the material chest it draws from. Long walks between chest and bench are the single biggest cause of "my base does nothing" complaints.
Upkeep
Working Pals burn hunger fast. Keep a stocked Feed Box and a Hot Spring in range or sanity drops and the bench stalls.
