+# Workshop and recipes
+
+_The bench in your aquarium's cabinet: materials, the culture drawer, mixing recipes and bench upgrades._
+
+## Where it is
+
+The Workshop is the cabinet your aquarium stands on. Tap the cabinet's top edge (its brass tag shows what is ready) and the view moves down: the bench fills the lower part of the screen and your fish keep swimming above. Tap the water, Back to the aquarium or Esc to return.
+
+## Materials
+
+Everything you gather is a material in one of six classes: Greens, Shell and bone, Stone and mineral, Fibre and wood, Live and protein, and Essence. Cleaning green glass leaves 20 g of algae scrapings, a grown fish now and then sheds a scale after a meal, and a hatchling's first meal leaves its eggshell. Your shop foods and expedition goods are materials too.
+
+## Mixing a recipe
+
+A recipe is one key material and lines that take any material of a class. Drag (or tap) a material into the bowl: each drop fills one line, so no recipe needs more than six drags. Dropping a key shows the recipes it can start as silhouettes; once you have made one, its page in the recipe book fills in.
+
+The batch dial makes one, two or three batches at once. Mix starts the bowl in a free slot and Collect takes it when its time is up: food goes into its jar, Remedy into the medicine box and filter floss to the filter, each paying before your coins. Make again refills the bowl with the same materials for one more batch. Food recipes open at level 8 and care recipes at level 10.
+
+## The culture drawer
+
+The worm bin is now the bench's culture drawer. Put 20 g of algae scrapings (free) or pellets in a drawer and it makes 75 g of red worms in 12 hours, ready to scoop into their jar, fresh for 48 hours. There is nothing to rinse or mist. Each batch can come out rarer.
+
+## A bigger bench
+
+The bench is free from level 5. Bench 2 (level 15, 4,000 coins), bench 3 (level 30, 18,000) and bench 4 (level 50, 60,000) add culture drawers, more bowls cooking at once, bigger and faster worm batches and better odds of a rare result. A made good is worth one and a half times what went into it, and there is no daily limit.
+
+## Tools
+
+The Tools button on the bench shows your five hand tools: the sponge, the net, the food scoop, the Pearl Catch net and your forage bite. The shop sells the first step up of each; the bench makes the higher tiers from foraged materials, each plan opening at its level. A better tool is quicker, never kinder or harsher to your fish.
+
+Tools wear a little with use and always keep at least half of what their tier adds; a cheap repair at the bench makes them new. The best sponge, the Wave Wiper, wipes the whole glass in one long swipe, as often as you like.
