How to Use Gunsmithing Stations, Blueprints, and Custom Materials

Once your factory lines have stamped out gun parts and refined late-game polymers, final firearm assembly happens at dedicated crafting benches. Your choice of station, component materials, and finishes determines what you can build and how each weapon behaves.

Choosing the Right Gunsmithing Workbench

1. Start with a simple gunsmithing table to put together early black powder muskets and Paper Cartridge rifles.

2. Upgrade to an advanced gunsmithing table to craft most mid- and late-game weapons that rely on brass, stamped parts, and precision mechanisms.

3. Explore the world to find rare blueprints when you want to build experimental guns, as standard tables cannot craft them.

4. Place the special workbenches required to use those rare blueprints and assemble experimental weaponry.

Customizing Materials and Weapon Skins

1. Swap in different materials while crafting weapon parts to change how the finished firearm performs in combat.

2. Forge netherite barrels when assembling top-tier automatic and experimental guns that demand advanced materials.

3. Switch any crafted firearm to its alternate skin to give your loadout a visual finish that matches the mechanical style of your Create factory.
