Workshop (Fallout 76)

The workshop is part of the crafting system in Fallout 76.

Characteristics
Public workshops function similar to the C.A.M.P. building system. In order to build at a public workshop, a Claim Workshop event Quest must be completed that requires the player character to clear enemies before claiming the workshop. A sum of 20-30 caps must also be invested.

Periodically, Defend Workshop events will trigger where the player character must defend the location from small waves of enemies. If the event is failed, a retake event is triggered and the area must be cleared of hostiles. The first Defend Event usually triggers within a few minutes of claiming the workshop. No reward is given if the player character fails to engage enemies during a Defend event.

Resources
Each public workshop comes with a number of site materials for building that can only be used within the claimed workshop. While in build mode, the workshop materials are displayed in green, while the player character's resources are displayed in white.

Each workshop area has Mineral extractors available to build that will produce resources hourly for as long as the workshop is claimed and the player character is still on the server. Extractors must be connected to a Power generator.

Extractors have a cap on how many items can be stored and must be checked and emptied regularly in order for them to continue producing resources.

Enemies
Enemy spawns for Claim and Defend events randomize at each workshop location and include molerats, mongrel dogs, Liberators, super mutants, Scorched, and feral ghouls.

Unique workshops

 * Poseidon Energy Plant: In addition to using normal power generators, power can also be harnessed by completing the Powering Up Poseidon Event quest.
 * Sunshine Meadows industrial farm: The only workshop that produces Packaged Foods. The generator inside provides 100 power if the Poseidon Power Plant has been repaired.
 * Converted munitions factory: The only workshop that produces ammunition. The generator inside provides 100 power if the Monongah Power Plant has been repaired through the Powering up Monongah quest.
 * Mount Blair: Site requires four Ignition cores rather than an excavator for mining random assortments of ore as part of the Earth Mover Event.
