I mentioned before that the Workshop in the Brazil Holdout was a totally useless property. I wasn't exactly sure how it worked because I have't even upgraded it. Thanks to a reader comment by Karan, I became curious and fully upgraded the Workshop on my energy account. Here are the ten possible items that you can make every 18 hours.
Your Workshop level will determine how many consumables you can make. Here is a chart to show how many items you can make at each of the 10 levels.
Workshop Level | # of Consumable Items per 18 Hours |
1 | 1 |
2 | 1 |
3 | 2 |
4 | 2 |
5 | 3 |
6 | 3 |
7 | 4 |
8 | 4 |
9 | 5 |
10 | 6 |
You can make whatever consumable you want providing that the item is unlocked. When you reach a new level, a new consumable unlocks. When it's time to "Make", you can make all of the same consumable or mix it up with different unlocked items. In the example below, the Workshop is at Level 10 so all items are unlocked and I can make 6 of them.
Once you make all of your alloted consumables,the timer will be visible. The timer actually starts once the first item is crafted but won't show up until you made all of your items.
This post is only for the curious as I'm sure any player who has the resources to upgrade their Workshop to Level 10 probably doesn't need consumables. Couldn't they have added something more useful? I'd even settle for 6 boosts every 18 hours. If Zynga loved us, they would let us make stamina or energy refills.

ReplyDeletetotally useless you say? non-RP players would have a hard time buying 6 radio phones w/o a level 6 workshop. check Brazil mission 57: I need backup
ReplyDeleteThere are at least two more levels of Brazil to come. And then, after that, we'll be reconquering Cuba and Moscow. I'd put money on it.
ReplyDeleteReconquer? I haven't even finished NY on my new fighter, could care less on my energy would be done with both in about a week.
