Alright, fellow zombie survivalists! Let's talk about something absolutely essential in 7 Days to Die: workbenches. Specifically, how to pick them up and move them. Because let's be honest, who wants to be stuck crafting in the middle of a horde, right? Nobody!
Now, you might be thinking, "Pick up a workbench? Sounds simple enough." And you'd be partially right! But there's a little trick to it, and knowing this trick can save you a *lot* of frustration. Trust me, I've been there. I've smacked a workbench with a wrench for way longer than I care to admit before figuring this out. Don't be like me!
So, What's the Secret? (It's Easier Than You Think!)
The key to picking up your workbench in 7 Days to Die is having the right tool: a wrench. Yes, that's it! No elaborate rituals, no chanting to the zombie gods, just a good ol' wrench.
Before we dive into the steps, quick pep talk: You got this! This isn't rocket science. It's zombie-smashing, base-building, workbench-relocating science! Okay, maybe not science, but you get the idea.
Step-by-Step: Workbench Relocation 101
Alright, let's get down to business. Here's your super simple, easy-to-follow guide to moving your precious workbench:
- Equip Your Wrench: First things first, make sure that trusty wrench is equipped in your active item slot. Don't accidentally try to smash it with a shovel, unless you *really* hate your workbench.
- Approach the Workbench: Slowly walk up to your workbench. I know, sounds obvious, but hey, gotta cover all the bases, right? Keep an eye out for lurking zombies though! Safety first!
- Hold Down the 'E' Key (Or Your Interact Key): This is the *crucial* part. Instead of just tapping the 'E' key (or whatever key you have bound to interact), you need to hold it down. This will bring up a progress bar.
- Watch the Progress Bar Fill: As you hold 'E', you'll see a progress bar slowly filling up. This is you carefully dismantling the workbench, ready to be packed up. Don't let go!
- Grab Your Workbench! Once the progress bar is full, the workbench will pop right into your inventory! Huzzah! You've done it!
See? Told you it was easy! But hold on, there are a couple of little gotchas to be aware of...
A Few Helpful Tips & Tricks
- Workbench Weight: Keep in mind that workbenches aren't exactly light as a feather. Make sure you have enough inventory space and that you're not already overloaded. No one wants to be waddling around like a pregnant zombie trying to escape a horde.
- Workbench Placement: When placing your workbench, make sure the area is clear of obstructions. Nothing's more annoying than carefully moving your workbench only to find you can't place it where you wanted.
- Workbench Level: The level of the workbench you pick up will remain the same when you place it down. So if you have a level 3 workbench, it'll still be level 3 after you move it! Phew!
- Upgrade away! Don't forget to upgrade your workbench to allow for better items and faster crafting. It's the difference between a stone axe and a steel one.
Why is this so important? Well, think about it. Maybe you built your initial base in a terrible location. (We've all been there). Maybe you're expanding and need to move your crafting area. Or maybe, just maybe, you want to prank your friends by hiding their workbench in the wilderness (I'm not encouraging this, but, you know...). The possibilities are endless!
Knowing how to move your workbench gives you the freedom to adapt, to optimize, and to survive in style! No more being tied down to a poorly chosen location. Now you're a crafting nomad, a master of mobility, a...well, you get the idea.
So, go forth and conquer! Experiment with different base layouts, find the perfect spot for your crafting empire, and never be afraid to relocate that workbench! This simple skill will make your 7 Days to Die experience so much more enjoyable and rewarding. Trust me.
