Permafrost Tailoring Bench: Unlock, Cost & Placement

The Tailoring Bench makes clothing. The documented story route unlocks it from Skinwalker’s reward box at Hunter’s Glade during The Way Home; its reference build cost is 15 Wood and 3 Copper Ingots. Learning the blueprint and building the station are separate steps.

Claim the reward at the active objective

Continue the story until the Journal asks you to collect Skinwalker’s blueprint. Take the reward, then check whether Tailoring Bench is available in the building menu. The walkthrough also records a Utility Backpack in this reward; an already claimed box does not mean the station must already be built.

The current developer instructions address a box that opens empty: skip the end of Skinwalker’s dialogue with Space. In co-op, the host should perform the Skinwalker steps and open the box alone. A blueprint collected before its quest becomes active can fail to register. See the reward troubleshooting page for the remaining failure states.

The older database shows both a quest-reward label and a generic 2-point purchase sentence. That conflict does not establish that spending two points bypasses Skinwalker’s reward in the current game. Follow the active objective and check the actual unlock in your build.

Build with ingots and a valid enclosure

Set aside 15 Wood and 3 Copper Ingots, then use a position with a foundation, roof and enclosed room. These costs and placement flags come from build 0.44.2.4634-milestone; check your construction preview before spending materials.

Raw Copper is not the bench ingredient. The reference Stone Furnace chain produces Copper Ingots. If the station recipe is visible but the preview cannot be placed, check enclosure and carried materials before repeating the reward dialogue.

Supply the clothing recipe

The bench and each clothing recipe have separate unlocks. Choose the garment your active task asks for and inspect its ingredients. A Tanning Rack supplies Treated Hide, which feeds Hybrid clothing and can become Cloth.

The Hybrid reward from Anna belongs to the later Breaking the Radio Silence objective. For Lunar clothing, study the blueprints before handing them to Jeremy; the tailoring list calls the set Permafrost. These quest labels are not alternative Tailoring Bench unlocks.
