While Crafting, you may see a "Workbench Required" notice on select items in the Crafting Menu. This means you must craft a Workbench before you can craft which ever item requires the Workbench. This guide will teach you How to Build a Workbench and where to find the Resources needed to build it.

Building a Workbench is simple. All you need is 8 Stone and 50 Wood. You can get stone by hacking at lone rock resources, and you can get wood by hacking at trees. Once you have all your resources, select Workbench in the Crafting menu, and click the Craft button.

With the Workbench built, all you need to do is stand near it while crafting the types of items that require a Workbench. It's best to build it inside your house. Like most things in Rust, it can be destroyed.

The types of items that require a workbench include:
