Workbench Range
A downloadable mod
Workbench Range
Extend the crafting range of workbenches on your Rust server. Set a custom radius per workbench level, permission-based.
Craft From Across the Room
Extend workbench range so players can craft without standing right next to it. Set a different radius for each workbench level.
Features
|
📏
Per-Level RadiusSet a different crafting radius for Workbench Level 1, 2, and 3. Each level is independently configurable. |
🔐
Permission-BasedOnly players with the granted permission get the extended range. Everyone else uses the default vanilla radius. |
|
⚙️
Simple ConfigurationThree settings, one per workbench level. Set the radius in meters and reload. Changes apply instantly. |
🛡️
Clean UnloadWhen the plugin is unloaded, all workbench ranges are restored to their vanilla values. No leftover changes. |
How It Works
→
A player with the workbenchrange.use
permission approaches a workbench.
|
| → The plugin extends the workbench's effective radius to the configured value for that level. |
| → The player can craft from further away, as long as they have line of sight to the workbench. |
| → Players without the permission use the default vanilla crafting range. |
Configuration
A configuration file is automatically generated at
oxide/config/WorkbenchRange.json
on first load.
{
"Workbench level 1 radius (meters)": 2.0,
"Workbench level 2 radius (meters)": 2.0,
"Workbench level 3 radius (meters)": 2.0
}

Installation
|
1
Copy the plugin file Place WorkbenchRange.cs
into your server's oxide/plugins/
directory.
|
|
2
Start or restart your server The config file will be generated automatically at oxide/config/WorkbenchRange.json.
|
|
3
Edit the configuration Set the crafting radius for each workbench level. |
|
4
Reload the plugin Run oxide.reload WorkbenchRange
in the server console to apply changes.
|
Permission
Only players with this permission get the extended workbench range. Players without it use the default vanilla radius.
Grant Permission
oxide.grant user <SteamID> workbenchrange.use
Revoke Permission
oxide.revoke user <SteamID> workbenchrange.use
Important Notes
Even with an extended range, the player must have line of sight to the workbench. Walls and obstacles still block crafting, just like in vanilla.
When the plugin is unloaded or the server shuts down, all workbench ranges are restored to their vanilla defaults. No permanent changes.
