Workshop crafting and upgrades: complete guide
Choose your priority
Do not try to upgrade every station at once. Pick the next recipe you truly need, then list the exact material requirements from your current workstation interface.
Collect targeted resources
Industrial and technical loot can satisfy several systems. Protect the scarce parts required for your chosen bench, and avoid automatically selling or scrapping them.
Balance station roles
Healing, ammunition, weapon upkeep and mobility utility all support extraction. Investing everything into firearms can leave you unable to survive the next raid.
Outpost and research
Frozen Trail introduced an unlockable Outpost, Research Bench and collectible Furniture Designs. These are separate from your traditional combat loadout preparation.
Complete the loop
After returning to Speranza, upgrade a station, craft a meaningful tool, prepare a new kit and revise the material list. A workshop only helps when it changes your next run.
