The component assembly bench is used by smiths to create components, advanced components as well as advanced weapons, power armor and bionic body parts.

Fabrication is required before the table can be built.

Usage
Components
Components can be made at a relatively cheap cost using this bench, and steel can be obtained in large amounts from deep drills, making this bench great at providing a constant component supply.
It is best at mass producing advanced components for building the ship, as otherwise advanced components are hard to find in bulk from traders.
Equipment
It is needed to produce the charge rifle, charge lance and power armor. Charge weapons don't spawn on enemies so they are hard to come by.
Bionics
Bionics can be produced reliably using this bench, allowing you to quickly find replacements instead of calling traders which may or may not have them.
Skill training
With a great demand for components in most colonies, component assembly is a great way to train colonists' crafting skill, if they are already decent at crafting. Good smiths provide quality weapons and armor for your colony and are valuable to any colony.
Version history
Prior to Beta 18, it costed 400 steel and 20 components to build, and requires a smith with crafting skill 10 to operate.
In Beta 18 its cost is reduced to 200 steel and 14 components, and the skill requirement is also reduced to 8. The recipe for advanced components have also been added.
In 1.0 it was renamed from the Component assembly bench to the Fabrication bench, and new recipes using it were added. It also required advanced components to craft.
