ROB RUN Workbenches: Placement, Modules and Uses

Workbenches are equipment you add to your own base. Kefir describes an item-based building system: acquire a structure or functional object as an item, then deploy it from your inventory. Workbenches can also accept modules that expand their functions.

Start with the activity you want to do

The October 16 announcement distinguishes several base activities: opening recovered cargo, growing bushes at a farm and using chemical reagents in a laboratory. Those examples give you a reason to choose equipment, but do not establish that one workbench can handle every input.

Our recommendation is to read the intended input and the equipment description before spending money. A cargo-opening setup and a production setup can serve different needs. A complete recipe list, timer table and output chart are not confirmed by this announcement.

Furnishing the base

The main building is described as having a laptop, first-aid kit and a few cabinets. Additional furniture and workbenches are the player’s responsibility. Structures and objects can be bought or found in loot, including another player’s dropped bag.

Modules expand workbench functionality. The official text does not provide a universal module installation sequence, compatibility chart or fixed unlock cost. Check the particular workbench rather than assuming every module fits every station.

FAQ

Does a new house include every workbench? No. The developer says players supply the additional furniture and workbenches.

Can modules improve a workbench? Yes; expanded functionality is explicitly described. Exact effects depend on the module and have not been catalogued here.

Will equipment move with my base? See moving a base for the official relocation wording and its limits.
