Tool Bench

WorldObject

A place to craft and fix up tools.

Notes

The **Tool Bench** is an early crafting station that produces essential hand tools, including Stone Axes, Stone Pickaxes, Stone Hammers, and basic items like Coarse Stone and Arrows. It has a 2x1x1 footprint and must be placed in the world to be used. A practical tip: researching and building a Tool Bench early gives you a central place to craft the stone tools needed for harvesting wood, mining ore, and constructing your first shelter.
