How to Craft the Gun Table and Start Gun Progression

Build the Gun Table First

The Gun Table is the block every firearm recipe runs through. It is a placeable block, so you need one in your base before anything else. Once placed, interacting with it opens the hwg:gun_table recipe interface, which is where all 34 gun-table recipes live. Nothing in the firearm line is made at a normal crafting table, so do not waste materials trying.

Feed It the Right Materials

The Gun Table consumes the intermediate parts and ammunition components you gather or craft. Your first goals at the table are the Pistol, the Luger, and the Shotgun, since those are the entry firearms. From there the table also produces the SMG, Tommy Gun, AK-47, Silenced Pistol, Shotgun Shell, Bullet, Sniper Round, and Rocket. Ammunition is a separate gun-table output, so plan a session purely for Bullets and Shotgun Shells before you head out.

Expand Into Explosives and Flares

The same table handles the Grenade (Frag), Grenade (Smoke), Grenade (Stun), Grenade (EMP), and Grenade (Napalm), plus the Flare Gun and every colored Flare. Keep a stock of each grenade type on hand rather than one, because each fills a different role. The Fuel Tank is a separate block and is not crafted at the Gun Table; treat it as its own build. Work the table in batches: one pass for guns, one for ammo, one for grenades and flares.
