Assembly bench I

The Assembly bench I is the first workbench for the Factory under your house. It turns raw materials into the town’s building kits and supply crates in one step: a Log and 4 Bronze Nails into 4 Wooden Kits I, 2 Stones into a Stone Kit, a Stone Kit and a Brick into a Building Kit I, 8 Iron Ingots into a Supply: Iron crate, and empty Crates for the other supplies. It comes with Assembly bench (75 red, 20 blue), right after Conveyors, and costs 6 Reinforced Planks, 4 Bronze Gears and 4 Bronze Details at the factory’s build desk.

Like every factory workbench it is worked by a zombie, never by you: you choose the recipes, the belts bring the materials, and the zombie starts as soon as everything has arrived. The finished goods go back out onto the belt. See The Factory for belts and power.

Notes

  • The zombie needs the mastery. A zombie starts at 0 in every talent, and a recipe it lacks the Building mastery for simply never starts. An axe or pickaxe in its hand adds 1 (rusty) up to 6 (steel) to Building. The recipes here ask for 2 to 5.
  • It is much cheaper than making kits by hand. A Wooden Kit I at the woodworking bench costs Planks and an Oiled Plank for 2 kits; here one log and some nails make 4. A Stone Kit needs no Polished Stone, and Supply: Iron needs no Boards or nails and no technology.
  • Two extensions add recipes. The Auto-hammer makes Wooden Kits I from a log alone and is needed for Building Kits I. The Spinning wheel turns 16 Flax into Fabric. Both have their own technologies, and both go on the bench’s one small extension spot, so a bench can have only one of them.
  • Assembly bench II and III keep every recipe from this one and add more.
  • Taking it down returns everything it cost. Removing the last queued recipe before it starts drops the materials already delivered next to the bench.
  • Building it takes Building mastery 4 and a hammer, like the other factory machines.
