FAQ

How do you unlock crafting stations in Enshrouded?
By rescuing craftspeople from their vaults and completing their quest chains. The Blacksmith gates the forge and smelter line, the Carpenter the building chain, the Alchemist spells and reagents, the Hunter textiles, and the Farmer the kitchen and farm line.
Which crafting station should you build first?
The Blacksmith chain: Charcoal Kiln, then Forge, then Smelter. It gates nearly every mid-game weapon and tool tier. Builders should rush the Carpenter Table Saw second for the plank economy.
How many crafting stations are there?
Around 19 specialized stations across five workshop lines, plus hand crafting from your inventory. Each survivor also has an assistant NPC who duplicates their station set in a different region.

Crafting in Enshrouded is a progression system disguised as furniture: every station is a rescued survivor’s trust, earned in the Shroud and installed at your base.

The Blacksmith line (highest priority)

The Carpenter line

Cade Hawthorn:

  • Kiln — clay into Fired Bricks
  • Table Saw — logs into planks, the backbone of refined building
  • Masonry Tools — stone blocks; also gates the Water Well through the Masonry Tools quest
  • Decoration Workbench — furniture and comfort pieces

The Hunter line

Athalan Skree:

  • Tanning Station — hides into leather
  • Hand Spindle → Spinning Wheel → Spinning Machine — fiber into thread and cloth

Layout that works

Group each line into a corner with a magic chest of its inputs: blacksmith corner (kiln → forge → smelter), alchemy lab, carpentry workshop, kitchen. The crafting from storage guide explains why one chest per cluster beats one vault.
