Basic Workbench
The Basic Workbench begins the early crafting chain and supports storage, ore processing, and copper-tier tools and equipment.
How it works
The passage places the Basic Workbench at The Core, before its description of Copper Ore in The Undergrounds. It lists Chest and Furnace among its crafts, alongside Copper Pickaxe, Copper Shovel, Copper Hoe, Watering Can, Salvage and Repair Station, Cooking Pot, Copper Anvil, and Bed. Furnaces process the first three tiers of metal ores into bars automatically, but slowly.

A source-bounded reference to named equipment, crafting stations, and soul abilities in the retrieved Core Keeper progression passage (s2). Steam metadata establishes game identity only. Details from s1 are excluded because its item claims are not corroborated in s2; s3 contains unrelated or contradictory material. The sources do not establish current balance, exhaustive item coverage, or comparative effectiveness. Guidance explains the referenced mechanics; it is not a tested damage ranking. Check the stated edition and source version before applying a patch-specific detail.
