How to craft it
not a work bench
The rename was overdue. Nothing that asks for a normal work bench will accept this, and it does not count as a flat surface for housing either. It exists for the novelty half of the crafting tree: statues, gem locks, trapped chests, stone furniture and the odd building material.
the recipes worth remembering
Tall Gates are the standout, since they are high enough for a mount to walk through without dismounting. Stone Slabs are the cheap one: ordinary stone becomes a building block that corruption and crimson cannot spread through, which matters more the further into hardmode you get. The metal plating recipes are cosmetic twins of the brick versions from a furnace, with chunkier and less regular pieces.
A number of recipes only appear while you are standing in Ecto Mist, so it is worth putting the station inside a graveyard rather than in your main crafting room.
