Monument Workbench Level 1

Monument Workbench Level 1 stations let players craft Tier 1 recipes at 8 locations, including safe zones at Outpost and Bandit Camp.

What you craft at a level 1 workbench

  • The 197 items whose recipe asks for a level 1 workbench, plus the 275 you craft by hand.
  • The bench only sets the level: you still need to know the blueprint of whatever you craft.
  • Recipes above level 1 need a higher bench: 144 ask for level 2 and 32 for level 3. No monument or floating city has a bench past level 2, so for level 3 you place your own.

Where Units Note
Outpost 2 Safe zone
Bandit Camp 1 Safe zone
Floating City 1 1 Deep Sea
Floating City 2 1 Deep Sea
Floating City 3 2 Deep Sea
Floating City 4 1 Deep Sea

The four floating cities belong to the Deep Sea and are not map monuments. A server shows one of them at a time unless its owner changes that.

The one you build yourself

The version you craft and place is the Workbench Level 1, which has 500 health against 99,999 for the monument one.

How the monument Monument Workbench Level 1 works in Rust

On procedural Rust server maps, Monument Workbench Level 1 (99,999 structural rating) appears as 8 permanent world fixtures distributed across 2 land or coastal compounds plus 4 offshore floating settlements (5 waterborne units). Unlike player-built workshop furniture placed inside a private base, these public monument installations remain bolted to the map terrain across the entire wipe and can be operated by any visiting survivor without Tool Cupboard authorization.

Monument Workbench Level 1 monument locations, grid stages and efficiency

Monument placement tables, fuel or material conversion rates, and base-deployable comparisons above document where Monument Workbench Level 1 stands on every procedural map seed and how its public utility mechanics compare against player-crafted stations.

  • Map placement density (8 fixtures): Bolted into 2 land or coastal radtown layouts with 5 extra placements across 4 offshore floating settlements on every procedural seed.
  • Structural hitpoints and pickup rules: Carries a fixed 99,999 hitpoint pool and remains permanently anchored to the monument floor without Hammer pickup.
  • Electrical grid and fuel requirements: Self-contained monument utility that operates immediately without slotting Heavy Fuses at Power Plant.
  • Base crafting and deployable comparison: Pairs with a player-craftable workbench recipe that survivors can build and place inside a Tool Cupboard base.
  • Public access and PvP considerations: Open to all players without building privilege, making surrounding sightlines, safe-zone turrets, and cycle timers critical during loot runs.
