Workbench mechanics SUCK.

You shouldn't need a roof over the workbench to use it and you shouldn't have to be in range of a work bench to craft building related stuff walls/etc. I understand making arrows at it...but walls and ♥♥♥♥? Nah.

[Goregrind]

Hmm, you dont need a roof over workbench ?

Look Mortalware post, we got something.

[ZombieSigne]

I had to have a roof for the workbench to work, too. How did you do it, Goregrind?

[Mortalware]

It says you need a roof over workbench if you just try and click on it. You don't need a roof to be able to start building around it though.

the workbench works the way it does, in my mind, so that players cant just set up shop anywhere on the map at a moment's notice. You can still make a base anywhere easily, you just need some more time and effort

Yup! You shouldn't need a roof over it period.

So I have to make multiple work benches to create a village with friends? I don't think you should have to be in range to make new buildings. Just annoying.

I just set one up next to wherever I want to build. Then destroy it when im done. It refunds all the materials for the bench. If you want to repair or craft items you need a covered one but for just building you can set as many down as you like and just destroy them after you build. Did this when I made my dock for my boat.

its honestly not that bad, been playing with two people already and have made a nice village out of everything so far, but i can understand your frustration.

+1 @YpjimboMM you can just move it again once you are done setting up whatever you are doing.

the system works good and everything is intended.... and you realy should build severall workbenches to increase the radius of your base since it prevents enemies from spawning inside... especially when they raid you it's better if you have more control over their spawnlocations so you know where to defend more.
And on top of it workbenches are needed for repairing buildings... if you remove them you cant repair stuff.
