Field note

When it matters

Build it with Dragon Tears so black metal, barley, and flax can become useful through the blast furnace, windmill, and spinning wheel.

Post-Moder production hub

The Artisan Table is the bridge between Moder and Plains progression. It is valuable because it unlocks the machines that make black metal, barley, and flax usable at scale.

  • +Build it at the base where Plains materials will be processed, not at a random outpost.
  • +Plan space for the blast furnace, windmill, and spinning wheel before storage turns messy.
  • +Use it after Dragon Tears are secured and before the first serious Yagluth preparation cycle.

How to get it

Craft with Dragon Tears after defeating Moder.
