Workshop
Forge the tools of faith and the weapons of war within this sacred industrial hub.
The Workshop serves as the industrial heartbeat of any burgeoning cult settlement, a specialized structure where raw materials are transformed into essential tools and weapons. It is here that the faithful convert the timber, stone, and ore gathered from the surrounding lands into the pickaxes needed for deeper excavation and the swords required to defend against heretics. Without a functioning Workshop, the Lamb's vision of expansion stalls, as members cannot efficiently harvest resources or protect their sacred grounds.

Lore & Background
As the cult expands into darker territories, the Workshop evolves from a simple shed into a complex foundry capable of producing superior weaponry. The rhythmic clang of hammers against anvils often serves as the background soundtrack to a cult in full swing, a mechanical prayer that echoes through the settlement.
Reader's Guide
The Workshop is essential for unlocking advanced crafting recipes and improving efficiency. Initially, it allows cultists to craft basic pickaxes and swords using wood and stone. As you upgrade the structure, you unlock faster production times and access to higher-tier weapons like iron or cursed variants. Assigning members with high 'Work' stats to this building maximizes output, ensuring a steady supply of tools for your gatherers. However, be mindful of morale; overworking cultists in the Workshop can lead to exhaustion and rebellion. Balance crafting sessions with rest periods and religious ceremonies to keep spirits high. Strategically, prioritize upgrading the Workshop early if you plan to explore deep dungeons or face strong heretics quickly. A well-stocked armory prevents your members from being caught unarmed during raids.
