Most crafting in Ancient Warfare is done at one of several specialized crafting stations.
Crafting Stations
Crafting stations are available in the following types:
Engineering station
Civics blocks and general items are crafted at the Engineering station. Your research book needs to be placed in the top left slot in the same fashion as the research station.
The engineering station works much like the research station. Selecting the Civics tab shows a list of craftable AW civic blocks.
Shift right clicking on a civic will display the resources and completed research necessary to craft the block via the engineering station. Left clicking on one will select that as the output product.
On the craft tab the necessary resources should be placed into the 3x3 craft grid and then the start button then hit .
Once the progress bar is filled the civic block is now ready for you to take from the output slot.
Further stations and other AW items are crafted using the engineering station by clicking on the misc tab.
These items can be shift left clicked for info and chosen as the output product by left clicking in the same way as the research station (see research page) and the civic block building above.
NPC recruitment center
NPC recruitment scrolls are crafted from the recruit tab, providing the means to deploy civic NPCs.
Command baron(s) and routing slips (for couriers) are crafted from the misc tab.
Drafting station
The research book does not need to be entered into the drafting station
Civic structure builders (used to build structures) are crafted at the drafting station from the select tab.
There is also a search tab (presumably for if many structures have been scanned and are available for crafting the draft for.
Vehicle engineering station (Siege Engineers Station) (crafts items to spawn vehicles and sub-component items needed for vehicle crafting)
Ammunition production station (Ammo Crafting Station) (crafts ammunition for vehicles and sub-components items needed for ammunition crafting)
Alchemy station (Alchemy Station) (crafts reinforced blocks and a few misc components such as gunpowder)
Research station
See research page of wiki
Autocrafting station
Has 2 3x3 crafting grids. By placing items in top crafting (items are not actually removed from inventory but do appear in the grid) grid in the pattern for a recipe
Resources placed into the bottom crafting grid are crafted into the pattern in the above grid.
Crafting Process
At most crafting stations you will need to input a Research Book into the upper-left-hand slot in order to begin crafting. The recipes available are dependent upon the research progress of the player owning the Research Book.

A list of needed resources is displayed in the resource-box, and crafting progress will start after all recipe resource requirements have been met.

After the resources have been used, crafting will take an amount of time dependent upon the number of resources used and type of recipe. Progress will only occur as long you are interacting with the crafting station (directly or viewing a recipe/research info gui originated from the crafting station).

In order to fully automate crafting you will need to use NPC Craftsmen.
