Hytale, the highly anticipated adventure and survival game, places Brazilian players in a vast world to be explored starting in 2026. In this universe, the first and most crucial achievement for any adventurer is to build their own workbench. This simple piece of furniture marks the transition from the initial chaos to a structured survival experience, being the starting point for the entire game’s crafting system. Without it, you are limited to wandering around and punching things, but with it, a world of possibilities opens up. Therefore, mastering its creation and upgrades is not only useful, it is fundamental for progression in the title that promises to win over fans of the genre this year.
But how to do it? The journey begins with collecting basic resources: wood and stone. There is, however, a valuable trick that can save a lot of time right at the start. Instead of chopping down the tree block by block, the best strategy is to strike the trunk at its base. This way, when the bottom block breaks, the entire tree collapses at once, greatly speeding up the collection of logs. This is vital, as the initial workbench requires a good amount of wood, and efficiency at this moment defines the pace of your first days in the game.
From Basic to Advanced: The Evolution of Your Workbench
To create the initial workbench, or Tier 1, you will need 4 units of Wooden Log and 2 units of Stone. Stone can be collected by hand, but using a pickaxe, if available, makes the process cleaner and faster. Once you have these materials in hand, the craft is unlocked. However, the true journey begins with the upgrades. To evolve to the Tier 2 workbench, the game asks for more serious materials, such as 6 units of Wooden Log, 4 of Polished Stone, and 2 of Copper Bars. This leap transforms the feeling of basic survival into a tangible and rewarding progression.
The great challenge, however, comes with the Tier 3 workbench. This upgrade requires the player to explore more, fight dangerous creatures, and loot special locations, as the ingredient list includes rare items. This is Hytale’s way of encouraging the full exploration of its world. Furthermore, the game does not have just one type of crafting station. There are specialized workbenches for different paths, such as alchemy or metalworking, each with its own recipe and resource cost. Therefore, planning your base and your crafting goals from the start is the key to a smooth and dominant experience in Hytale.
