11Overview33Sawhorse is a workbenchcraft station in Windrose. An upgrade extender for the Workbench that unlocks sawmill recipes, primarily lumber-based conversions like Timber and Wooden Plank batches.55Station Info77PropertyValueCategoryWorkbench stationStation TypeUpgrade extenderMax Health4,500Within Bonfire RangeRequired99Construction Materials1010MaterialQuantityCopper Ingotx10Woodx201212Upgrade Path1313Sawhorse is an upgrade extender that snaps to a Workbench. Placing it inside the base station's extender footprint unlocks the recipes gated behind this extender on the base station's own craft list. It does not craft items on its own; the base station handles all recipes.1515Placement Strategy1717The Sawhorse is the mid-tier Workbench extender. Its recipes center on lumber processing: converting raw Wood into Timber and Wooden Plank batches that feed nearly every late-game building project, from the Dockyard to the Large Smelting Furnace. Ten Copper Ingots is the real gating cost; Wood itself is easy to gather, but the Copper Ingot requirement gates the Sawhorse behind the first successful Smelting Furnace run.1919The Vicinity Circle Mechanic2121Every craft-station extender in Windrose uses the same attach rule. You do not craft a higher-tier station; you drop extenders inside the base station's vicinity circle. When you pick up a Sawhorse in build mode and hover it near a Workbench, a white circle appears on the ground centered on the bench. Drop the Sawhorse anywhere inside that circle and the bond locks in. Drop it outside and the Sawhorse sits there as a decorative prop without upgrading anything.2323While you hold the Sawhorse in placement mode, the Workbench displays a small green plus icon overlaid on it. The plus cycles through the icons of the recipes the Sawhorse will unlock: mid-tier tools, Timber, Wooden Plank, Iron Pickaxe upgrade, and other lumber-dependent items. This is the game's pre-commit preview of the upgrade. Watch the icons before you drop the Sawhorse so you know exactly what you are paying for.2525Build Layout Tips2727The Workbench is the most-used station in most camp halls, so the Sawhorse needs to stay close enough to sit inside the vicinity circle without cluttering the walking area. Two common layouts work. First, tucked behind the Workbench: directly behind the main building wall, so it still sits inside the Bonfire radius and inside the Workbench vicinity circle, but out of line-of-sight while crafting. Second, on a back foundation strip: drop a one-tile-wide foundation behind the main building and line up the Sawhorse, Toolbox, Tool Shelf, and other mechanical extenders on it. Wall placement of this kind keeps the interior clean while still granting every base station its extender unlocks.2929Temporary Sawhorse for Travel Crafts3131Dismantling a Sawhorse at the Disassembly Table returns 100% of its construction materials (20 Wood + 10 Copper Ingot). That means a Sawhorse can be used as a temporary tier booster at remote outposts. If you are sailing to another island and discover you need a tier-2 craft on the fly, drop a forward Bonfire, a Workbench, and a Sawhorse, craft the item, then dismantle all three. The only real cost is time: every construction material comes back through the refund system. This is especially handy for emergency Iron Pickaxe crafts when your main base is a long sail away.3333Tips3535Build the Sawhorse before starting serious ship construction. Wooden Plank production scales poorly at the base Workbench, so the Sawhorse pays back across every ship hull built afterward.Pair the Sawhorse with a lumber-rich camp location; having a Workbench near a Foothills tree line cuts the walk time dramatically.Sawhorse recipes appear on the base Workbench menu once the extender is placed. There is no separate craft UI on the Sawhorse itself.Ten Copper Ingots is the real gating cost. Build the Smelting Furnace and run a Copper Ingot batch before starting the Sawhorse.Snap extenders like Sawhorse, Toolbox, and Tool Shelf around a single Workbench for maximum recipe coverage. They do not compete for the same extender slot.3737See Also3939Craft StationsBase BuildingCraftingWorkbenchTool ShelfToolboxTimberWooden PlankDisassembly Table4141Details4343Properties4545PropertyValueMax Health4,5004747Build Cost4848Duration: 1s5050IngredientQuantityWoodx20Copper Ingotx105252Unlocked By5353Discovery: unlocked by exploring the Coastal Jungle and crafting one-handed weapons and copper tools.Requires Copper Ingot from the Smelting Furnace to build.
