BenchLink

Link nearby crafting stations into clusters so one of each bench covers your whole base. Inside a cluster, every bench's build range counts for every bench type in it.

Workbench and Forge Stonecutter

How It Works

Two stations link when they are closer than the larger of their build ranges, and links chain into clusters. Build anywhere inside the range of any station in a cluster to use every station type in it.

A cluster holds one station of each type, so extra benches cannot be chained outwards. A second bench of a type is not linked and works like vanilla, and you get a message when you place one. The more upgraded bench keeps the cluster's slot, and on a tie the one built first does. You get a message whenever the cluster's bench changes.

Range Indicator

With the Hammer out, the rings of nearby benches are shown: gold if linked, white if not. Look at a bench to turn its own ring blue.

Configuration

Settings are in the BepInEx config file javidahmed64592.benchlink.cfg. You can add extra metres to the link distance (LinkSlack) and turn the ring indicator off (Indicator).

The benchlink console command lists nearby clusters. Only loaded stations count, and BenchLink only needs to be installed on your own game.
