While many recipes require it to be crafted, the workbench can also be used to craft the same items that are craftable in the player's inventory. Workbench differs from the other workstations by a bit.This workstation can have three appliances in it: an Anvil, Advanced Bellows and a Crucible.

Resources can be put into this inventory by smelting certain items and removed by crafting any of the basic resources in the forge. The forge has its own inventory where the crafting materials are taken from. It is used to multiple useful craft items, most notably Cement, Forged Iron, Forged Steel, Bullet Casings, Bullet Tips and both Steel and Iron Arrowheads.

Forge is usually the second workstation the player gets an access to.

The campfire can have three appliances in it: a Cooking Pot, a Cooking Grill and a Beaker. It is mainly used to cook food and beverages but some chemicals are also available for crafting.

Campfire is the first workstations the player uses and it is crafted as a part of the starting quest.

This is accompanied by a message 'You don't have the required tools to craft this' when pressing the craft button.Īs mentioned previously, there are five different workstations: The workstation (a forge or a campfire) doesn't have correct appliances.This is accompanied by a message 'You don't have the required fuel to craft this' when pressing the craft button. The workstation (a campfire, a forge or a chemistry station) doesn't have fuel.The said icon indicates the correct one: a hammer and an anvil means the forge, a table means the workbench, a campfire means a campfire and a cement mixer means a cement mixer. In this case the icon next to the name is something other than a padlock and there is no craft button. The player is using the wrong workstation (if any at all).On the recipe list, next to the item, a grey lock can also be seen, indicating that the recipe is locked. In this case there is either no craft button at all or it is replaced by a perk button. The player does not know the crafting recipe.This is accompanied with a message 'You don't have the necessary resources to craft this' when pressing the craft button. The player has insufficient resources in their inventory or in the forge.If an item cannot be crafted (colored in light grey or craft button missing completely), it is because of one or more of the following reasons: Clicking on the item from the crafting menu while holding 'Shift' will automatically set the crafting amount to the max that can be made from the resources in the player's inventory. This amount can also be changed simply by entering a number in the input panel located between the two arrows. Optionally, the player can select how many items should be crafted by clicking the left and right arrows located at the top left on the right panel.

To craft an item, the player must select the specific item in their crafting menu and already have the needed resources used to craft the specific item in the inventory to finally click the button 'craft'. Once the player has obtained all the necessary components, found an appropriate crafting station and any possible crafting appliances needed and/or learned the required skill or recipe if needed, they can proceed to craft the item. Some components need to be crafted from other base components. Most of these workstations have their own unique recipes that can only be crafted in the respective workstation.Ĭomponents used for crafting are obtained via looting, farming, mining, or harvesting. Crafting can be done in the player's inventory and in any of the workstations: a Campfire, a Forge, a Workbench, a Cement Mixer and a Chemistry Station. By utilizing crafting, the player can obtain access to items to aid in their survival without relying on their luck of finding items through looting. Almost all items and blocks found in-game can be crafted with a few exceptions. It is an integral aspect of 7 Days to Die that is accomplished via the Crafting Menu. Crafting is the process of making an item from its constituent parts.
