Machinist Table

WorldObject

A fancy tool bench that creates equally fancy toys.

Notes

The Machinist Table is a high-tier crafting station that enables advanced industrial production, including Assembly Lines, Boilers, Dynamite, and Printing Presses. It occupies a 3x2x1 footprint and must be placed in an enclosed, Tier 3 room with at least 24 m³ of free volume. The table accepts Advanced, Mechanics Advanced, and Mining Advanced upgrade modules to reduce resource cost and craft time—so prioritize building a high-quality room to unlock its full efficiency and access to mid-to-late-game machinery.
