Key Features
The Menu Lives on the Workbench
The crafting interface shows up on the workbench screen, in the world where the bench stands, and stays on the prop as you move around it. You run a cursor over the panel and click through it like a terminal. Benches placed near each other stay independent.
Interchangeable Ingredient Slots
A single recipe slot can take any one of several items: iron, steel or scrap, coal or charcoal. Drag ingredients into color-coded groups, and the server uses whichever the player carries.
In-Game Admin Panel
Edit workstations, recipes, blueprints and crafting settings from the admin panel. Use the bench map and the prop builder, then save to update connected players.
Server-Wide Community Projects
Post a goal the whole server works toward. Players donate materials at a station, or craft the item it asks for and the counter moves on its own. Any placed bench can become a community board that shows the project. At 100% it pays out by tier and can unlock recipes, categories or whole station types for everyone. Contributors can stay anonymous per project.
Native ml_skills Gating
Lock recipes behind a skill or a level, hide them until the skill is unlocked, and pay XP into ml_skills with automatic category routing. Skill bonuses give faster crafting, more XP, bigger yield, cheaper ingredients and better byproduct odds. Without ml_skills, the built-in progression runs its own levels.
Dual Blueprint System
Two ways to unlock a recipe: a blueprint item, consumable or reusable with optional limited uses, and a permanent unlock saved to the player. Mix them per recipe.
Three Ingredient Modes
Each ingredient can be consumed, degraded like a tool that loses durability, most worn copy first, or only checked, like a license that is never taken.
Dynamic Outputs and Result Data
Weighted variant results pick one color per craft from the whole palette, byproducts roll on their own chance, and every output can carry random data: durability, serials, quality or clothing drawables.
Clothing Results
With ML Inventory, a recipe can give clothing: a fixed piece, or a random piece from a series of drawables. The editor shows a photo of every model so you pick by sight.
Placeable Workbenches
Players place portable stations with a ghost preview, surface snapping, rotation and anchor rules. Pick them back up, or with an open pickup rule, steal someone else's after a timer. A picked-up bench keeps its fuel, wear and label inside the item. Static benches are placed from the admin panel.
Walk-Away Queue and RP Theft
Queue crafts, walk away and collect them later. A shared queue view lets everyone at the bench see each other's jobs, and with theft on you can grab a rival's finished craft off the table, logged for staff.
Fuel and Durability Stations
Benches can burn fuel and wear down with use. With ml_fuel, jerrycans work as refillable fuel, or use plain fuel items. Repair stations with materials you choose. All optional, set per bench type.
Focus Camera and Hologram Prop
A focus camera frames the bench while a hologram of the result floats and spins above it, fitted to any model, with crafting animations, a spotlight, particles and sound.
Crafts Your Other Scripts Can React To
Your other resources can react to crafts and unlock recipes, so a heist reward, a shop or a quest can tie straight into the bench. Discord logging is split per action.
Battlepass Objectives
With ml_battlepass, finishing a craft advances the objectives that ml_battlepass ties to that recipe. One config line turns it off.
Model-Bound Workstations
Map existing world prop models to a configured bench type. Matching props can then open that workstation without placing separate coordinates.
Base Machines and Power
With Outpost (ml_base_building), station types can be built as machines inside a base, with build cost, upkeep and power use. Portable stations also follow the base placement rules.
