The hammer of hammers, the sawing of saws, they all take place in this important building. Who knows who had the idea of it?

The Workshop Workshop allows towns to refine resources for Construction Sites construction. It is often one of the first buildings to be constructed as other buildings depend on the resources it provides. Local towns are provided with a pre-constructed Workshop.
