This is where you can find every workshop in Fallout 76
Our Fallout 76 workshop guide explains where you can quickly gather everything you need from the wasteland to start rebuilding society.
Public workshops are an important new addition to Fallout 76. They make it easy to collect scraps, which are necessary to build everything from expensive structures and better weapons to armour. At some of the workshops, you can also use the facilities to produce a wide range of valuable materials.
The process of claiming workshops is relatively straightforward. All you need to do is approach an area with a workshop in it and an event will appear on screen. This will involve clearing out all the enemies in the immediate area and claiming the workstation at the centre for a handful of caps. Once you’ve done this, you can build with the workshop’s own resource pool and place down extractors to gather nearby materials, as well as create defences to fend off enemy waves.
The difficult part of all this, though, is knowing where to find each workshop and which resources can be harvested from which locations. What follows is a complete list of all the workshops in the game, region by region, as well as an outline of the resources you can find there. Hopefully, this will make farming scrap in the game that little bit easier.
Ash Heap
The smoggy location at the bottom of the map has three workshops in it that you can claim.
Beckley Mining Exhibit
One of these is Beckley Mining Exhibit, which is situated in the bottom left of the Ash Heap. It is a mining museum that is great for harvesting supplies of food, crystal, water, gold and oil.
The Ash Heap is home to three workshops

Charleston Landfill
The Charleston Landfill, meanwhile, to the north of the area, is a junkyard, where you can collect food, water, junk, aluminium, copper and steel.

Mount Blair
Finally there’sMount Blair. This workshop is positioned at the very centre of the Ash Heap. It is near to a huge mining drill, so it is almost impossible to miss if you’re on higher ground. You’ll be able to collect food and water at this location, as well as ore – that is, if you can get past the army of mole miners guarding the entrance.
Beware of the army of mole miners guarding the entrance

Cranberry Bog
Abandoned Bog Town
Cranberry Bog has only one public workshop in it, which is the Abandoned Bog Town.
This area is difficult to clear out, due to the roaming Scorchbeasts, but if you manage to take your claim on it, it provides a steady supply of food, silver, water, gold, concrete and oil.

The Forest
The first area that players will emerge in after leaving Vault 76, The Forest is home to seven workshops, making it one of the best areas to set up camp and claim land.
Billings Homestead
On the west side of The Forest, you’ll find Billings Homestead. This area can be claimed to harvest food, water, fertiliser, crystal, gold and copper.
The Forest is the richest area on Fallout 76 when it comes to workshops

Gorge Junkyard
Looking further north, Gorge Junkyard is a scrap yard where food, water, junk, titanium, concrete and wood are plentiful. You’ll want to head there to farm the titanium scrap that's necessary to build certain models of power armour, such as the Excavator armour.
There are a total of seven, making it a great place to set up camp

Lakeside Cabins
Lakeside Cabins is in an area to the south-east of Camp McClintock. It contains deposits of crystal, lead, silver and wood, and can be used to create a supply of food and water. If you want to stock up on any of the materials listed above, it’s well worth paying a visit.
It's possible to even find crystal in The Forest

Poseidon Energy Plant Yard
You can find the Poseidon Energy Plant Yard at the southernmost point of The Forest, near the Ash Heap. It's a good site to harvest food, fusion cores, water, lead, aluminium, nuclear waste and concrete.
While you need look no further if you're after nuclear waste

Sunshine Meadows Industrial Farm
Sunshine Meadows Industrial Farm is situated on the west side of the map, north of Billings Homestead. Here you can scavenge food, water, junk, aluminium and concrete. Interestingly, it is also the only area in the game where you can produce packaged food. To do this you need to get the production line inside the food packaging factory back up and running – a couple of power generators should do the trick.

Tyler County Dirt Track
Tyler County Dirt Track is a sports track located to the north-west of the Appalachian Wasteland. The area allows you to farm food, water, fertiliser, junk, silver, aluminium and steel.
But most will provide you with the basic essentials

Wade Airport
You’ll find Wade Airport to the south-west of the Lakeside Cabins. Super Mutants patrol the area more often than not, making it a challenging workshop to claim at the start of the game. Once you do though, you’ll be rewarded with an edible food supply and clean water, in addition to silver, copper and oil deposits.
And if you're ballsy, take out the Super Mutants and reap the rewards

The Mire
The Mire is the irradiated swamp to the east. It contains four workshops in total.
Dabney Homestead
Dabney Homestead is slightly south-west from Valley Galleria at the end of a tail-shaped road. Should you be up for the task of clearing the area, you can use the facilities to produce food, water, fertiliser, junk, copper, concrete and wood.
The Mire is home to four workshops

Thunder Mountain Power Plant
The Thunder Mountain Power Plant is situated near the lake to the north-east of the mire. The area is usually filled with Scorched enemies, which shouldn’t be too hard to get rid of provided you have some decent weapons to hand. Once you’re given the all clear, you will be able to put down some extractors and other machinery to farm food, water, fusion cores, crystal, nuclear waste, steel and wood.
Each is unique in what can be farmed

Dolly Sods Campground
Dolly Sods Campground is found to the south-west of the Thunder Mountain Power Plant. It is here that you’re more than likely to come across some glowing Radtoads that will need to be exterminated. Once you’ve cleared the area, you can start using the land to produce food and clean water.
Some need to be cleared before they are of any use

Berkeley Springs West
Berkeley Springs West is a town and public workshop located on the edge of the Mire, close to the Savage Divide. Resourceful vault dwellers will be able to claim the land in order to farm food and water, as well as scavenge useful materials like crystal, lead and aluminium.
While others can be used straight away if you're resourceful

Toxic Valley
The Toxic Valley is the area to the far north of the map. It has two workshops that you can claim.
Grafton Steel Yard
The first, Grafton Steel Yard, is located near to the Grafton Dam. At this location, you’ll be able to collect food, lead, steel, water, copper and oil. Just watch out for the Mirelurks or Super Mutants that populate the surrounding area.
The Toxic Valley is home to two workshops

Hemlock Holes Maintenance
The other area, Hemlock Holes Maintenance, is a small workshop at the northern tip of the map. You’ll find plenty of scorched and ghouls here, as well as the facilities you need to extract food, water, crystal, gold and acid.
Both are home to various obstacles, so it might be best looking elsewhere

Savage Divide
The Savage Divide is that thin strip of barren landscape separating the more verdant areas of Appalachia from the boggy wastes. It has five workshops located inside its perimeter, which can all produce a wide range of materials.
Federal Disposal Field HZ-21
The Federal Disposal Field HZ-21 to the far south of the map is another area frequently infested with Super Mutants. It's a highly irradiated area, so it's wise to wear some kind of protection against radiation if you decide to visit. It's worth it though, with it possible to gather food, water, acid, nuclear waste and oil here.
Although a barren strip of land, the Savage Divide is home to five sites

Converted Munitions Factory
The Converted Munitions Factory is a special workshop in that it is the only area where you can produce ammo. After wiping out the enemies inside, you’ll be able to manufacture a bunch of different types. If that wasn't enough, you can also collect food, water, junk, silver, lead, aluminium and oil.
One is the only place on Fallout 76 where you can create ammo

Monogah Power Plant Yard
Monongah Power Plant Yard is a short trek north of the Top of the World and the Pleasant Valley Ski Resort. If you play primarily in power armour, you’ll want to pay it a visit in order to make new fusion cores. You can also amass food and water while you’re there.
While another is great if you need new fusion cores for power armour

Red Rocket Mega Stop
The Red Rocket Mega Stop to the north of the map is a large petrol station and garage area that is swarming with tonnes of different enemies. The scrap you can produce here includes food, water, junk, aluminium, nuclear waste and steel.
As with all areas, the Savage Divide's sites have their obstacles

Spruce Knob
Located between the Ash Heap and Watoga, Spruce Knob marks the highest point of West Virginia. It is a useful area for gathering food, water, gold, copper and acid.
But all are good sources of scrap and resources
