Weapon Workbench

Tech Level 20. This is the early firearm and ammo desk before powered weapon lines take over the heavy queues.

The usual recipe is Ingot ×15, Wooden Board ×10, and Nail ×10. It needs Handiwork, work speed is commonly cited around +50%, SAN drain near −0.15, and it runs without electricity. Park it near your High Quality Workbench so metal, boards, and nails share one craft corner.

Expect Makeshift firearm lines such as Makeshift Handgun, Makeshift Assault Rifle, Makeshift SMG, Makeshift Shotgun, Musket, Single-Shot Rifle, Handgun, bows, grenades, and the ammo those tools burn. Capacity is limited next to later stations, so treat this as the unlock that gets you past crude weapons, not the endgame gun factory. Move mass firearm and ammo work to Weapon Assembly Line once power and Handiwork depth arrive, then to Weapon Assembly Line II when assault rifles and shotgun queues outgrow the first line.
