Since you can craft through closed chests within a gigantic radius as of 1.4.5, I decided to design a system that takes full advantage of this. It contains every crafting station in the game, as well as space for 200 chests, all labelable. All of this is accessible via a single point in the center.

Crafting stations, from left to right, top to bottom: Heavy Assembler, Sawmill, Dye Vat, Loom, Tinkerer's Workshop, Imbuing Station, Solidifier, Blend-O-Matic, Meat Grinder, Teapot, Orichalcum/Mythril Anvil, Cauldron/Cooking Pot, Adamantite/Titanium Forge, Living Loom, Honey Dispenser, Water, Honey, Keg, Lihzahrd Furnace, Flesh Cloning Vat, Bone Welder, Decay Chamber, Crystal Ball, Work Bench, Ancient Manipulator, Lava, Crimson/Demon Altar, Autohammer, Ice Machine, Sky Mill, Steampunk Boiler, Bookcase, Alchemy Station, and Glass Kiln.

NOTE: To access all crafting stations from the center standing point, your player needs to have consumed an Artisan Loaf.

Additionally:
– This is constructed with the Universal Pylon in the very center for ease of access from anywhere in the world
– There is a shimmer pond to the immediate right sizeable enough to fit and properly transmute any items
– Piggy bank access
– There is a toilet to the immediate right, for creation of Poo
– To the left, there is a campfire for making Cooked Marshmallows
– To the left, there is also a Chlorophyte Extractinator which is easily reachable
– On all sides but the bottom, snow blocks are placed to create an artificial snow biome, which allows for crafting of Snow Clouds
– Placed 55 tiles below the Pylon, there are 8 gravestones to create an artificial graveyard for any of the various Ecto Mist crafting recipes. I removed the gravestones for the screenshot simply for visual clarity, hence no Ecto Mist in the screenshot.

This design is heavily inspired by Steam user Leaffen who made a similar (but now outdated) setup a couple years ago, linked here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2869701987

  1. Swap the signs with chests and this is exactly what I did. I love it. I can stand in the middle and craft anything with any item in any of my chests. <3
