Crafting in Pokopia runs through workbenches. You pick up raw materials like Sturdy Sticks, Stones, and Small Logs from the overworld, then combine them at a workbench to build furniture, outdoor items, and utility tools. Some materials need processing first by Pokemon with the right specialties before they'll work in recipes.
What you build here feeds directly into the habitat system. Furniture inside buildings raises Pokemon comfort. Utility items like the Storage Box keep your inventory from overflowing. And the Workbench itself? Also a crafted item. Just 2 Stones to make your first one.

Build a Workbench. It costs 2 Stones, which you can pick up almost anywhere by pressing Y near the ground. Once it's placed, interact with it to see your available recipes. You'll only see items you have enough materials for.
It lets the Workbench pull materials from the box instead of just your inventory. Huge quality-of-life move, especially once you're carrying a bunch of different resources and your pockets are full. Build a Storage Box early (1 Lumber) and drop it right next to where you craft.
Some recipes call for processed materials instead of raw ones. Lumber is the main one you'll run into. You can't just pick it up. Get Small Logs first by using Cut on trees, then bring them to a Pokemon with the Chop specialty (Scyther works). It'll convert the logs into Lumber for recipes like the Storage Box.
Yes, and you should. Each one only costs 2 Stones. Put one near your main building area and another close to wherever you're farming materials. Saves the walk back.
Three categories so far: Furniture (Straw Bed, Log Table, Log Chair), Outdoor (Campfire), and Utility (Storage Box, Workbench). Furniture and outdoor items change how your island looks and functions. Utility items are the tools that keep everything running.
