How Many Workshops are in Vault 88?

In the world of Fallout 4, Vault 88 is a key location that offers a unique underground settlement for the player to set up and customize. One of the exciting features of Vault 88 is the existence of four workshops within the vault.

Let’s dive deeper into the details about how these workshops work and what you need to do to unlock them.

Sector Overview

Before we move on to the workshops, it is important to understand the sector system in Vault 88. The vault is divided into three distinct sections, each with its own control board.

1. North Sector – This is the first sector of Vault 88, which you will encounter when exploring the vault.
2. South Sector – The second sector is located nearby and requires you to find it after discovering the North Sector.

Workshops

Now, here’s where the excitement begins: each sector has its own workshop associated with it. These workshops have specific purposes and can be enhanced as you progress through the game.

Workshops by Sector

Here’s a simplified table highlighting the workshops for each sector:

1. North Sector Workshop: This workshop is located in the same area as the North Sector, near the entrance. It supports crafting and production, with an 100 cap limit on items.
2. South Sector Workshop: The South Sector Workshop is found in the South Sector Control Room. This workshop focuses on Research and Development, allowing you to explore new technologies and projects infinite times.

Unlocking Workshops

To access these workshops in Vault 88, you’ll need to claim them as your own by installing new boards in each sector and applying them to the corresponding workshop buildings. The steps are straightforward; simply:

1. Find Barstow when exploring the vault.
2. Talk to them about becoming the Overseer (**Complete "The Vault" or "Better Living Underground"?).
3. Claim the North Control Board and install Pam (formerly the Terminal).
4. Retrieve the South Control Board and insert it into the South Sector, applying the board to the workshop space.
5. Wait for the workshops to repair themselves before accessing them as usual.

By following these steps and unlocking the workshops, you’ll gain direct access to these essential areas in your vault settlement.
