How to build a Workshop in Aloft
To craft in Aloft, you’ll need to put together a Workbench during the introduction of the game. Building one is straightforward; you just need five Wood, which you can collect in a couple of different ways in-game. If you’re new and struggling to locate Wood, you’ll find an abundance of it in the starting area. I recommend checking the edges of the area and around any boxes you see. You’re looking for broken sticks that have a white glow that runs across them; this glow signals it’s a resource you can harvest.
Once you’ve got your Workbench set up, you’re ready to start crafting more complex items. It gives you five resource slots to play with, rather than the two you can use when crafting in your inventory. Your first task after building your Workbench is to make a Pickaxe. This requires one Wood, One Stone, and one Sharp Stone (the latter is crafted using two normal Stones).
Every crafting recipe in Aloft
Below is a complete list of crafting recipes in Aloft. Each recipe is organized by category and presented in alphabetical order for easy reference. You can use CTRL+F on your keyboard to search for specific recipes! Some recipes don’t need to be crafted using a Workbench, but all recipes can be crafted with one. That might sound confusing, but you’ll understand as you play through Aloft‘s introduction.
