- For the craftable version, see Workbench.
A Work Bench is required for Crafting new items. They can either be made of metal or wood (wood is the least common. A metal one has a Drawer).
Harvesting[]
Destroying a Work Bench allows the player to craft a new wooden Workbench elsewhere as part of the Safehouse Customization feature.
- A Metal Work Bench can be harvested with a Hacksaw to produce a Workbench Vice and 10 Scrap Metal in 4 hours,
- A Wooden Work Bench can be harvested with a Hacksaw to produce a Workbench Vice and 8 Reclaimed Wood in 3 hours,
There are currently 49 Work Benches found in the game, producing a limited amount of Vices to prevent the player from easily making infinite Work Benches.

Crafting[]
A Sewing Kit or Fishing Tackle is required for crafting any piece of fur clothing, and a Hunting Knife (or Improvised Knife) are required to craft bear-skin bedrolls, wolf-skin coats, simple arrows, a survival bow and arrow shafts. Other items do not require any tools to craft. Note - Fishing tackles, bandages, old man's beard lichen wound dressings, tinder plugs and torches do not need a work bench. They can be crafted using the radial menu.
Since some of these items require a considerable amount of time to complete, the work can be done in intervals without losing any progress. The minimum amount of time to spent is half an hour. According to the overall progress the required materials will be consumed and the semi-finished product will appear in the player's inventory.
Only one item of each type can be worked on at any given time.
The items that can be crafted are:
Simple Arrow- Arrow Shaft
