It takes some time to work out which benches are used for which item, or even which items are best for certain jobs, but you can easily tell when you need new items. Here you can choose particular materials or set a minimum skill for the person making it, if you want to make sure of its quality. If you add a duster, you can take a look at its details to see what materials you need. Everything you can make is listed in the Bills section.

Build a tailor’s bench (preferably powered) and you’ll find it works much like a butcher’s table or stove.

Others are best monitored so you don’t use up resources. Some tasks you’ll want to do as soon as you have the materials. All of these can be found in the Production tab of Architect and are best in a dedicated crafting room, next to your stores. (Straightjackets are from a mod, but it does leave us wondering, since colonists can put them on on their own, what would happen if you made all of your colonists wear one.)įor that, and to make shiny new weapons and more, you need crafting stations.

So, you want to make your colonists look all fine and dandy in bowler hats and dusters, or perhaps knock together some straightjackets to keep your pyromaniac under control. Welcome to the fifth topic of our RimWorld guide, where we talk you through how to research and create useful items for your colony.
