GameSpot’s January 14, 2026 guide lists eight craftable Hytale workbenches, from the basic Workbench to the Salvager’s Workbench, and gives an ingredient recipe for each. Those recipes are a dated reference, not a verified current-game list: Hytale’s later Update 4 notes document changes to workbench tiers and crafting options. If your station shows different ingredients or requirements, follow its in-game recipe.
Which stations count as workbenches?
The January 14, 2026 GameSpot guide identifies these eight craftable workbenches: Workbench, Armorer’s Workbench, Builder’s Workbench, Farmer’s Workbench, Alchemist’s Workbench, Furniture Workbench, Arcanist’s Workbench, and Salvager’s Workbench. It also lists four other crafting stations—Blacksmith’s Anvil, Chef’s Stove, Furnace, and Tanning Rack—which are useful for a complete crafting base but are not included in the eight-workbench count.

What changed in Update 4?
Hytale’s official Update 4 patch notes document changes after GameSpot’s recipe guide:
Rank #2
- The Alchemist’s Bench gained tiers 3, 4, and 5.
- Farmer’s Workbench tiers 9 and 10 were removed.
- Workbenches now display queued craft counts and item rarity.
- The Builder’s Workbench gained additional block-crafting options. The notes state: “All Rock, Wood and Metal full blocks can now be used to craft Half Slabs and Stairs at the Builder’s Workbench.”
These notes establish that tiers and available crafts changed, but they do not verify every ingredient recipe in the dated table above. Check the recipe shown at the station in your game when it differs from this reference.

How to use the list when crafting
- Start with the regular Workbench. GameSpot describes it as available through pocket or inventory crafting; its guide recipe is 3 Stones and 4 Tree Trunks.
- Choose the next station by the item category you need: armor, building, farming, alchemy, furniture, magic, or salvage.
- Use the dated ingredient table as a planning reference, then compare it with the station’s in-game recipe before gathering materials or relying on a tier requirement.
- Build the separately listed Anvil, Stove, Furnace, or Tanning Rack when you need weapon upgrades or repairs, cooking, smelting, or leather processing.
