Crafting stations

A Crafting Station allows players to craft various items. Entering the inventory screen displays the "Crafting window" in the lower-left, and when the player is standing near one or more Crafting Stations and possesses the right crafting ingredients, the bar is expanded with additional item choices. To use a crafting station, the player must be standing within 3 tiles horizontally, 3 tiles vertically upwards and 2 tiles vertically downwards of any tile the crafting station occupies.

Nearly all crafting stations are furniture. There are currently 44 crafting stations in total.
