The Counter is the flat-topped kitchen cupboard found in almost every house. In a base it gives storage below and a crafting surface on top.
It comes in birch, dark, green, modern, oak, white and plain wooden finishes. Each finish has a straight counter and a matching corner piece. Counters are the backbone of a base kitchen, so most survivors move a few into their safehouse.
How to Use Counter
A counter is a storage container with cupboards under the top. PZwiki gives every counter a capacity of 50. That is plenty of room for food, utensils and spare tools.
The top counts as a crafting surface. Recipes that need a table can be made at any counter.
Use the corner pieces to turn a row of counters around a corner. A full L-shaped kitchen then looks clean and holds a lot.
How to Move Counter
Picking up a counter needs a Claw Hammer or another hammer and Carpentry level 2. Placing it again also needs a hammer.
The counter can break when picked up. The chance falls as Carpentry rises. Train the skill a little before moving the good ones.
Each counter weighs 10 when packed. That is a heavy load, so move one at a time or use a vehicle.
Picking up the Counter needs one of these tools. It needs Carpentry level 2.

Locations
Kitchen counters stand in house and restaurant kitchens. They often hold cooking utensils and food. They may also hold seeds, dish towels, a mop or a dead mouse. Counters in barricaded survivor houses hold more canned food and sometimes a shotgun with shells. Bathroom counters hold sheets, towels, tissues, bleach and medical items.
Notes
- Carpentry level 2 and a hammer are needed to pick it up.
- Low Carpentry raises the chance of breaking it.
- The top works as a crafting surface.
- Corner pieces join two rows into one kitchen.
- Barricaded houses often have better food in the counters.
