What Are Workstations in Elder Scrolls: Castles?

Workstations are an essential part of gameplay in Elder Scrolls: Castles. You’ll need to create various workstations in order to produce the essential needs for your empire – food, oil, and various materials for expanding your castle.

Each workstation in Elder Scrolls: Castles has a different purpose, from creating resources to letting you marry off your subjects and produce offspring to ensure your kingdom always has ready hands for work.

You will need to assign people in your castle to most workstations for them to produce materials. Simply click and drag your subjects to a workstation to assign them to it. Some workstations, like the Temple of Mara and the Bed, are only for short-term use and don’t require permanent worker assignments.

All Workstations in Elder Scrolls: Castles

You’ll build your first several workstations as part of the tutorial from Cassius the Elder, but eventually, you’ll be on your own to unlock new ones.

Here’s every available workstation in Elder Scrolls: Castles, when it unlocks, and what resources you’ll need to build the first one. After you build one of each workstation, the next one has an additional cost if you want to double up.

How To Review Workstation Productivity

If you want a quick snapshot of how efficiently each workstation is running in Elder Scrolls: Castles, there’s a tab for that.

Click the castle on the bottom right of your screen to open the menu. Then, click on the little hammer with three lines next to it.

This opens up the Station Report, where you can review the level, number of workers assigned, and general information about efficiency and production for every workstation. This can help you decide if you need to move workers around, upgrade a particular station, and more.

And that’s what each workstation makes in Elder Scrolls: Castles and how to unlock them.

Elder Scrolls: Castles is available now.
