In addition to being used to craft the items mentioned above, the crafting spot can also be used to smash [[mechanoids]]. This allows tribals to break down [[mechanoid]] corpses without a [[machining table]], albeit at a slower rate. The materials returned are the same regardless of which method is used, only the time taken changes.

A crafting spot is a 1 x 1 area marked on the ground where a crafter can produce certain neolithic items. Crafting at a crafting spot is 50% slower than elsewhere.

Acquisition

Crafting spots do not require a colonist to construct or deconstruct, nor is there a cost, build time, or skill requirements for placing them. Instead, they are simply selected from the menu and placed directly by the player.

Summary

The following items can be crafted at the crafting spot. Note that the crafting spot has a Work Speed Factor of 0.5, meaning that all bills will take 2x as long as at most other work stations.

  • Name Materials Work to Make Required Research Type
    Smokeleaf joint Smokeleaf joint Smokeleaf leaves 4 000,450 ticks (7.5 secs) Drug - Social drug

  • Note that the War mask and Tribal headdress can only be crafted by Tribal colonies.

    A tool cabinet can be placed nearby to increase the work speed at the crafting spot.

    Smash mechanoid

    The "smash mechanoid" bill converts mechanoid corpses into usable materials. This requires 450 ticks (7.5 secs) of work, modified by the Mechanoid Shredding Speed of the pawn doing the shredding but regardless of the type of mechanoid smashed, and produces material dependent on the type of mechanoid smashed, any missing body parts, and the Mechanoid Shredding Efficiency of the smasher. This bill is directly equivalent to the "Smash mechanoid" bill at the machining table, with the only difference being that the machining table instead takes 300 ticks (5 secs) of work. The material returned is the same regardless of the method.

    With the Biotech DLC, the bill has options to separately specify whether to smash enemy mechanoids and friendly mechanoids. By default, only enemy mechanoids are enabled to prevent the smashing of friendly mechanoids that may be resurrected.

    Shredding/Smashing returns by Mechanoid
    Mechanoid Return
    Centipede Steel 30 steel + Plasteel 10 plasteel
    Termite Steel 30 steel + Plasteel 10 plasteel
    Lancer Steel 15 steel
    Pikeman Steel 15 steel
    Scyther Steel 15 steel
    DiabolusContent added by the Biotech DLC Steel 50 steel + Plasteel 20 plasteel
    MilitorContent added by the Biotech DLC Steel 10 steel

    Analysis

    While vital in some circumstances, any long-term colony should quickly replace crafting spots with dedicated work stations of the relevant types. While tool cabinets are effective on crafting spots, it is far more effective to dedicate those resources instead to creating those dedicated stations. However, if cabinets are already available and a spot is necessary, then there is little reason not to place spots in range.

    Crafting spots work slower, so they have a niche in training the Crafting skill. Skill XP is earned based on time crafting, so crafting spots will give more XP. Craft clubs and the like in a dark room, with poor temperature (below -1 °C (30.2 °F) or above 35 °C (95 °F)), for the slowest results.
