# How to Change the Crafting Speed on an Enshrouded Server

Learn how to change crafting speed on an Enshrouded server by adjusting Workstation Effectiveness to shorten or extend workstation production times.

Waiting for a workstation to finish can put a building project on hold. Enshrouded lets you adjust workstation production time, so your group can spend less time checking queues and more time using what you have made.

## Change the Crafting Speed

1. Navigate to your Nodecraft dashboard.
2. Locate your Enshrouded server and click **Manage**.
3. Stop the server.
4. Click **Game Settings** in the menu on the left.
5. Select the **Miscellaneous** tab.
6. If your server is not already using Custom difficulty, click **Change Difficulty to Custom**.

  ![The Nodecraft Enshrouded Server Settings page with a focus on the Miscellaneous tab with an explanation as to what the page does.](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/972x356/71214a1847/enshrouded-custom-difficulty-miscellaneous.png/m/)
7. Under **Resources**, find **Workstation Effectiveness**, the setting for workstation production time.
8. Choose the production-time factor you want. Start with 0.5 to halve the usual wait or use 1 for the default.
9. Click **Submit** to save the changes.
10. Start the server again, join, and begin a new workstation job to check its production time.

## How the Crafting Setting Works

**Workstation Effectiveness** ranges from 0.25 to 2, with 1 as the default. It scales production time: smaller values shorten the wait, while larger values lengthen it. A job that normally takes 60 seconds takes 30 seconds at 0.5. This is the factoryProductionSpeedFactor setting in [Enshrouded’s server gameplay settings](https://enshrouded.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/20453241249821-Server-Gameplay-Settings).

## Final Thoughts

A shorter crafting queue can keep a building session moving. The best Enshrouded server hosting makes room for your group’s preferred pace, and Nodecraft lets you adjust it without digging through configuration files.
