The crafting bench functions as your primary production hub inside the Blues store. While small basic tools can be assembled directly from your inventory, permanent structures and base fortifications require a physical station placed inside your shelter.
Required Materials and Pre-Requisites
Before you assemble a crafting bench, you need specific harvesting tools and storage. Navigating the store floor without basic equipment makes transporting materials inefficient.
- Craft a hatchet using three wood. You can obtain wood by breaking wooden crates around the aisles or picking it up directly from retail shelves.
- Craft a backpack to increase inventory capacity. This recipe requires cloth, which drops when you break sofas and furniture or search shelving units.
- Gather five wood and three cloth once your tools and storage are ready.
- Select the Crafting Table Tier One from your menu and place it in a safe indoor area.
A dedicated storage container or backpack prevents you from leaving rare supplies on the floor. Surviving long enough to gather these materials requires keeping an eye on how to eat using burgers and drinks found in the supermarket sections.
Crafting Recipes and Upgrade Choices
Setting up a station lets you turn raw debris into fortifications and healing supplies. You can also construct a medkit using four bricks once the station is active.
The table below outlines the primary crafting recipes connected to early base defense:
| Item | Best Use Case | Material Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Hatchet | Breaking furniture, boxes, and sofas for scrap | 3 Wood |
| Basic Backpack | Expanding carry limits for multi-item store runs | Cloth |
| Crafting Table Tier One | Unlocking advanced defensive construction | 5 Wood, 3 Cloth |
| Spike Barrier | Blocking doorways against hostile night staff | 4 Wood, 1 Cloth |
Spike barriers are built directly through the tier one station. Positioning barriers at chokepoints helps safeguard your shelter when hostile employees patrol the sales floor after the lights shut off.
Deploying Your Crafting Station
Hostile staff members cannot take damage during daylight hours, but they actively attack any player they spot at night. If enemies break through your defenses, structures inside can take damage or leave you cornered.
- Place the table inside an enclosed office or a walled alcove rather than in open shopping aisles.
- Reinforce exterior entrances with collected sheet metal or crafted barriers before nightfall begins.
- Keep an open path between your crafting area and sleeping furniture so you can retreat quickly if a wall fails.
Managing a fortified position makes it much easier to explore the store during daylight, retrieve energy cubes, and work toward the manager keycard needed for deeper room access.
