Village in the Shade Workbench Guide
Buy the Workbench from Sazanka, then use unlocked recipes to craft objects from materials. Nearby Storage Boxes can supply materials from the eight surrounding tiles, but the Storage Box Linking Technique is a separate storage-interface convenience.

Where to Buy the Workbench
The seller and price come from the shared shop record; timing stays bounded where the trigger is not isolated.
Seller
Sazanka General Store
Japanese shop name: 田上雑貨店. The Workbench is listed as equipment with progression-aware stock.

¥500
This is the purchase price. It is not the Workbench's ¥375 sell value.

progression
The current repository marks the listing as progression stock. The exact first-availability trigger and repeat-purchase behavior are not isolated.
Shop hours: 09:00–17:00; closed Friday.
Core Function
What Does the Workbench Do?
The Workbench is an object-crafting station, not a timed processing machine.
Craft objects
Select a visible recipe, provide its materials and craft the output. The current verified browser covers a partial set of repository recipe records.
Machines are built here
Furnaces, barrels, processors, kilns, Looms, Beehives and other machine bodies are Workbench crafts when their owning record says so. The machine then owns its own processing behavior.
Open Crafting Guide →Processing is elsewhere
The Workbench does not brew Beer, age Miso, smelt Ore, dry Flowers or make Dye. Those transformations belong to their respective processing machines.
Open Processing Database →Recipe Visibility
How Workbench Blueprints Work
Owning the station does not automatically unlock every recipe.
Blueprint / Recipe Unlock ≠ Finished Item
Learning a recipe does not give you the finished object. Conversely, receiving a finished machine from an NPC does not automatically prove that its Workbench recipe has been learned. Brewing Barrel is one canonical example of this distinction.
Possible source families
The repository records sources including Shrine Skills, Helping Tickets, story progression, Friendship, shops, festivals, Midnight events and special rewards. Use the source record instead of assuming every recipe is a Shrine unlock.
Open Crafting Blueprint Sources →Materials being present is not an unlock condition by itself. A recipe can remain absent because its blueprint, node, event or source-specific learning step is still incomplete.
Troubleshooting
Why Is a Workbench Recipe Missing?
Check the source path before spending more materials.
- 1Check the blueprint
Confirm that the recipe is actually a Workbench recipe and that its blueprint or recipe record is learned.
- 2Check Shrine progression
Some machines and utility recipes require the relevant Shrine Skill and repair stage.
- 3Check Helping or story events
NPC rewards and story progression can expose a recipe or a finished object on a delayed or source-specific route.
- 4Check Friendship, shop or special sources
Some recipe knowledge belongs to Friendship, a shop/event, Midnight exploration or another special reward.
- 5Check the station
Processing outputs, ordinary cooking dishes, Anvil upgrades and construction-service buildings are not automatically Workbench recipes.
- 6Then check materials
Only after the unlock path is confirmed should you troubleshoot missing quantities or nearby Storage Box access.
Storage Integration
How Workbench Nearby Storage Works
The direct crafting rule is local surrounding storage, not a farm-wide link.
Use Storage Boxes in the eight surrounding tiles.
The repository preserves the source wording as surrounding 8 tiles. Read that as the eight positions around the Workbench, not an eight-tile radius. This does not mean you must fill all eight positions with boxes or that eight boxes are a maximum.
The current evidence does not establish inventory-plus-storage aggregation, multiple-box quantity splitting, consumption priority, locked-box behavior, or whether every future recipe shares identical behavior.

Conceptual geometry only; it is not a requirement to place eight boxes.
Nearby storage
This local rule supplies materials directly to Workbench crafting from boxes in the surrounding eight positions.
Storage Box Linking Technique
The Shrine skill helps move between multiple boxes through the storage interface. It is not verified to expand Workbench crafting to remote or whole-farm storage.

Cooking Equipment Is Not Cooking Recipes
The Workbench can construct selected cooking equipment, while the Cooking Guide owns ordinary dishes and recipe learning.
Cooking equipment
Hangō, Kamado and Shichirin are equipment concepts. Their construction, shop, or event records stay separate from the ordinary dish recipe pool.
Ordinary dishes
Do not treat the Cooking Guide's learned dishes as Workbench recipes. The Workbench page only points to equipment where a construction record is available.

FAQ
Workbench Questions
Short answers for purchasing, storage, blueprints and counting.
Where do you get the Workbench?
Buy the Workbench from Sazanka’s General Store for ¥500. The shop listing is confirmed, but the exact first-availability trigger is not isolated in the current source set.
What is the Workbench used for?
The Workbench crafts objects from recipes you have unlocked, including documented machines, upgrades, utility items, fishing bait, cooking equipment and selected furniture. It does not process Beer, Miso, Ore or Dye over time.
How does Workbench storage work?
The Workbench can use crafting materials from Storage Boxes placed in its eight surrounding tiles. This means the adjacent surrounding positions, not an 8-tile radius or whole-farm storage.
Why is a Workbench recipe missing?
Having the materials is not enough. Check the recipe's blueprint, Shrine Skill, Helping Ticket, story, Friendship, shop or special-event unlock source, and confirm that the item is actually crafted at the Workbench.
Does the Workbench itself need a blueprint?
The current repository confirms a Sazanka General Store equipment listing. It does not establish a separate Workbench blueprint or a fixed first-availability date.
What counts toward the 500 Workbench crafts achievement?
The Builder achievement with stable ID builder-workbench tracks 500 Workbench craft actions. Batch-count behavior is not specified, so do not assume a batch multiplies the counter.
Can I place more than one Workbench or move it?
The current source set does not verify a maximum count, moving rule, recovery behavior, or whether the Workbench can be placed indoors or outdoors.
