Workbenches facilitate crafting.

You can construct and toggle a Workbench on Crafting.

• A Workbench has a requirement to access and requires Steel for construction.
• Workbenches enhance crafting by increasing the quantity crafted.

Access

A Workbench appears on Crafting, after you research Manufacturing on Technologies.

• You can construct a Workbench, after you research Manufacturing.
• Manufacturing has a requirement to access and research.

Technology required:
Technology	Requirement	Research cost
Manufacturing	build 6 Libraries	Steel	5
		Coin	5

Construction

Workbench on Crafting

You can construct a Workbench on Crafting, after you research the required technology.

• Your first Workbench requires 2 Steel.
• Each additional Workbench requires 40% more Steel.

Example costs:
Current Workbenches	style="text-align: right;">Steel
0	2
1	2.8
2	3.92
3	5.49
...	...
n	2 × 1.4n

Effect

• Workbenches increase Craft efficiency and when active craft multiple items at a time.

The quantity of items crafted, for the base cost, displays after you build your first Workbench

Each Workbench increments Craft efficiency by 8%, when toggled off and also when active.

• Active Workbenches multicraft: multiply the amount of resources expended and products crafted.
  • Each active Workbench expends the base cost when crafting. To craft using just 1 x base cost, you must switch off your workbenches, using the 'Toggle' button.
  • If you do not have enough resources, then a multiple with your available resources is crafted.

• An active Workbench multicrafts:
  • all items you can craft, on Crafting;
  • items you craft from the inventory, after you research Logistics, (apart from Books); and
  • publishing Books with Strategy on Technologies. (does not effect publishing Books with Patent or Scientific papers; v0.9.3 beta).
