Claimed Workshop

[FatBird11:11!]

If I claim a workshop, log off and back on later, will it still be my workshop when I log back on? I'm on the private server mode.

But I'm curious about both private and public.

[Deviant]

No, because workshops will be overtaken by enemies eventually, unless you constantly defend all the workshops you claimed, which is pointless.

[Phantom]

Yes and no, but mostly no

As soon as, you log off you lose the workshop
You lose the free fast travel point
However, if you manually return to it you can defend it and reclaim it without additional cost

IF you log off for a prolonged period and somehow return to the same server the workshop is gone (IIRC 5 minutes?)

Thanks.

If you are on Fallout 1st you keep the server for around 5minutes or so, if you disconnect and make it back quick the workshops are still yours.
You can use this knowledge to transfer items between your characters as well :')
Drop stuff at Vault 76, change char and pick it up.

no once you log the workshop is no more becuese of diffen wold they would send you to if this help to you

In Private, you relog in the same server if you are 'fast' enough (some minutes...)

You keep ownership of all workshops with all their buildings because it is the same server...aka it is the same world you just left

Still, you generally lose the fast travel point to the workshop
No problem...just wait for an attack...you get the fast travel point back if attacked
Of course, dont defend (loss of time...) and just retake it when you feel like it

Now, it only works for some minutes...

As already said, the ability to keep same server for a while after deco is really great to mule items between characters in all safety


In Public, you are very very unlikely to relog into the same server you just left...so, it doesnt work (at least solo without friends...)

The private world is spun down if nobody is in the world for more than 5 minutes. Once it is shut down, everything you build in a workshop is gone, because when you log back in again, it's a new world.

So, unless you're planning on playing for HOURS in one session, it doesn't make sense to claim a workshop at all.

I mean you have to invest quite some resources to build generators, extractors, defense that will be gone when you quit. I tried to dismantle that stuff and store it before I quit and it was gone anyway and not even "stored".

So unless your extractors are running for a long time the invest might be higher than the gained resources...

[Ficelle]

When you build in a workshop, you use mats from the workshop reserve first, not yours
You only start to use your own mats when you have used all the mats from the workshop
If the cost in mats is green, it is from workshop (free...)...if white, it is your own mats

You can build quite some collectors + generators + some turrets for free
You can even use (switch for...) the perk card halving costs to be able to build even more for free

So, it costs you nothing at all (but time...) to build in a workshop
Building on Public could be a waste (of time....) because possible PVP
But on Private...

[peteben]

With the contractor perk, everything you build will cost you half...
When I run low on scrap, I log into a private world, and take over a bunch of workshops.
You don't have to sit in front of the computer all day, just wedge a key or put a rubber band on your controller. Don't do this on a public server, though.

[M A M O P Y]

make a public group and become a group leader. you can reconnect to the same server by joining your group again as long you dont take much time while logging off.

Thanks for the information, didn't know that.

Cheers,
