Are you using the proper crafting tool for the station you're standing near?

Are your crafting stations too close together?

Are you standing closer to the proper station than any other station?

Has your crafting tool decayed and become useless?

Each crafting station has an "interface zone" that you have to be standing within for your crafting tool to make use of it. When you get overlapping zones you can get unpredictable results because it can't tell which station you're trying to use.

Try moving the middle crafting station out of the room and then standing closer to the one you're trying to use.


In the small, round rooms I don't like to put more than one station. In the small rectangular rooms, you can fit 4 if you put one on each wall.

A word of warning:


when experimenting while having more than one crafting station in the same room, NEVER SIT, because you might 'warp' into the wrong "crafting zone" during the crafting session. I learnt this the hard way - quite annoying.

Yes, it can happen, and it has happened to me. Every time you clone, your crafting tools will decay eitherone or fivepercent. The only time you are able to see what condition your tool is in is when you get wrung through the cloning center and it gives you the list of decayed items. When your crafting tool reaches 0%, it will be deactivated.


It is possible that if you haven't crafted your tool yourself, someone might have put a deactivated tool up for sale on the bazaar. The only way to know for sure is to cycle through the cloning center to check. This is the #1 reason I never buy crafting tools from the Bazaar. If I'm on a char who can't make them himself, I have a friend do it for me.
