2.0 READY!!! A Simple, yet handy workbench for crafting faster, mostly everything, mostly.. U may need to get in it!
Providing the player with new tools or adjusting the game interface, without fundamentally changing gameplay.
If you are feeling especially bored, would you be willing to work your magic and fork the vehicle-style workbench mod into a similar Research Desk mod? (The code is still on GitHub, so you can see how it was accomplished.)
