Set Up Your First Repair Stand
Crafting Your Stand
Decide which stand type matches what you want to repair: weapon stands for swords and bows, tool stands for pickaxes and shovels, or armor stands for full armor sets. Craft the wooden version of your chosen stand using the appropriate recipe.
Placement and First Repair
Place the stand anywhere in your base—it doesn't need power or fuel. Right-click the stand and place your damaged item on top. The stand will begin repairing immediately, though wooden stands repair very slowly and may not complete repairs at all.
What to Expect
Your item will gradually heal while sitting on the stand. You can leave it unattended and continue other activities around your base. Check back periodically to see progress. Once fully repaired, you can remove the item and use it again, or leave it on display.
Next Steps
If you want faster repairs, plan to upgrade to a higher tier stand. Copper and iron stands offer reasonable repair speeds for mid-game play.
