Workbenches

Workbenches are buildable structures which allow players to convert raw materials into useful items. They are an essential component in making the train a self-sustaining mobile base and ensuring long-term survival in Zompiercer.

As of the 10.0 update, there are currently ten workbenches that can be used. Each workbench is specialized in crafting a certain range of items, and some require other benches and special materials in order to be built.
