Advanced Workshop

The Advanced Workbench building is found under the "Tools" tab of the Base Building menu and allows you to improve and repair your weapons. To open the improve menu press "E" and to open the repair menu press "F".

The Improve menu lets you upgrade your weapons From Tier 1 all the way to Tier 4 (or tier 5 if Advanced Workbench is upgraded). The process is similar in every way to the workbenches you can occasionally find in the garage of some houses as well as certain locations, however the workbenches found within the world can only upgrade weapons to Tier 3. Upgrading weapons requires materials and often a second weapon of the same tier that you are trying to upgrade.

For example: I have a tier 1 pistol that I want to upgrade, to do so I press "E" near my workbench and hover my mouse over my pistol. It then tells me in order to upgrade the pistol I need two Level 1 pistols, 1 metal, and 1 leather.

Some weapons, typically melee weapons, only need materials for their first upgrade, but then will need a duplicate weapon of the same tier in order to continue upgrading.

The Repair menu let's you repair weapons that have a durability for the cost of some materials.

For example, I have a Tier 1 Fire Axe that has 90% durability and I want to repair it. I go to my workbench and press "F". It then tells me in order to do so, I need 1 piece of metal.

To craft an Advanced Workshop, you will need 1 wood, 1 metal, and 1 scrap. It takes up a 2x3 area.

To upgrade the Advanced Workbench it costs 4 wood, 4 metal, and 6 scrap.
