Find the building
The Workshop is a large stone building with an anvil mark on the map once you are near it. Craft the Map (3 Wood) before you search. Chop the branches blocking the doors. Three cultists wait inside, and one of them has a crossbow. Kill that one first.
The anvil in the middle is an outline until you find three parts.
- One part is on the ground floor.
- One part is on the second floor. Green vines inside the building are the climb.
- One part is on the roof, up the ladder from the second floor. A chest often sits up there too.
Drop the three parts into the outline. The anvil assembles and the workbench candles light. If you die inside, you return to camp and can lose what you were carrying. Eat before the hike.
Anvil recipes that are actually listed
These costs come from an October 2026 workshop guide. They are not on the camp bench table.
| Item | Materials | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Bandage | 2 Bunny Foot, 2 Wolf Pelt | Heals, and revives a downed player |
| Hammer | 5 Log, 5 Scrap | Move and repair camp structures |
| Mammoth Helmet | 2 Mammoth Tusk, 2 Wolf Pelt | Armor piece for later fights |
| Chainsaw | 4 Cultist Gem, 4 Bear Pelt, 2 Alpha Wolf Pelt, 10 Scrap | Cuts trees far faster, including huge trees. IGN describes it as felling trees in one hit |
Bunny Foot and Rabbit's Foot are both names used for the bunny drop. If a recipe refuses one name, check the other stack before you farm a second animal.
The Hammer is also sold later by traders in some updates, and the Decorator and Blacksmith classes start with one. Crafting it is the path that does not depend on those classes.
Bandages also drop from chests and from the green-stripe hospital buildings. Crafting is the backup when those loots miss.
