About Workbenches

After spending some time in Emberland, Survivors will find that supplies here are extremely valuable. Especially for those advanced items, they have a low drop rate and are difficult to obtain directly.

To obtain high-quality items, it is not enough to rely solely on exploring Civilization Ruins and collecting from the wilderness. These exploration can only provide us with raw materials and parts, and it takes a lot of risks to compete for Airdrops. Is there a way for us to peacefully obtain higher-level End Products?

This brings us the two very important functions in Mission EVO: Blueprint Research and Workbench Crafting.

First, Survivors need to collect enough Wood and Iron Bar, and then click on the 'Craft' icon in the upper right corner to build a Workbench.

Next, Survivors need to place the Workbench in the territory, and click the Craft button to enter the Crafting page. Then consume the corresponding amount of Scrap in Tech Tree to unlock the Blueprint for the item. The higher level of the item is, the more Scrap it will require for Crafting.

Please note that in the Crafting line, Blueprints must be unlocked one by one and can not be skipped.

After unlocking the Blueprint, we can start crafting items. So, what items can we make from the Workbench?

As can be seen from the production category on the Workbench, there's a wide variety of items that we can make, including almost all Melee Weapons and ranged weapons, as well as Facilities, Parts, and so on.

The way of Crafting is very simple. We only need to stand in front of the Workbench and click the Craft button to start Crafting items. Of course, you can also quickly enter the Crafting page by clicking the Craft button on the left of the map.

But for the first time using Workbench, it can only be crafted by clicking the Craft icon on the left side of the map.

The materials needed to make an item can be learned on the Crafting or Handbook page. If there are items you need to make, just explore Emberland and collect the corresponding amount of supplies.

You can preview the Crafting Time on the Craft button. Generally speaking, the crafting time of items is very short, and high-quality items will take a little more time.

Note that not all items can be crafted through Lv. 1 Workbench, so you need to upgrade the Workbench in time to make high-quality items.

Some Survivors may find there is a Sketching Table in the inventory when they enter the Crafting page. So what is it for?
Actually, it is another way for us to unlock Blueprint. You can unlock Blueprint and Recipe by using Sketching Table. To build Sketching Table, you need to make it by using Workbench.

On Sketching Table, you only need to put End Products of the item you want to make, and consume the corresponding amount of Scarp to unlock the Blueprint of the item. Using Sketching Table, we don't need to unlock items one by one in the Tech Tree, and make it easier to unlock the Blueprint we want.

Furthermore, it should be noted that simply learning how to craft is just a basic skill.As there is Calories and Hydration for survivors, there is Durability Lost for weapons. Because of durability, weapons can't stand wear and tear for a long time if used. Therefore, we need to promptly repair items.

The amount of materials required to repair a weapon is far less than the amount to craft it. Therefore, it is of great help to us that learning to use the Repair Station reasonably.

Note that you can only repair weapons that have unlocked the Blueprint.

Well, that's all for this guide. We believe that Survivors will gain more survival wisdom with this guide. In this cruel land, every bit of wisdom is invaluable. It can open up a broader living space for Survivors in danger.
