FULL SCRIPT:
Workshops (As of 1.4.1)

When i made my first video on workshops, the wood workshop was broken and
would give you sometimes up to 90K daily denars. There have been significant
changes and different types of workshops had their ups and downs.

So i am first going to go over changes over the patches, then how to
get a workshop and the best workshops to have. Then we will end it off with
what is the best workshop for the current patch of 1.4.1, that may or may
not be patched soon.


List of changes that came to workshops:
- 200 denars cap on workshop (e1.0.1)
- Wood workshop exploit patched and 200 denars cap removed (e1.0.2)
- Nerfed pottery shops and made them very weak by halfing production (e1.1.0)
- Changed some fief upgrades which cause villages to be more productive
which in term makes workshops more productive (e1.4.0)
- Trade skill perks were fixed and now you can get alot of perks to work that
benefit workshops (e1.4.1)
- There were also a ton of extra economical changes that did impact workshops
and the overall economy, but they are not as significant as the ones i listed
and listing all of them and how they impacted the game would take hours.


Now lets talk how to buy a workshop and quick facts about them:

To buy a workshop, you can go to any town, walk to the shop and talk to a
shop worker. Workshops usually cost around 12K-16K. Once you buy the shop,
you can change the production for free or change it later for 2K in the clan
other tab. You can also sell your workshop in the same tab.

- Hold L Alt while in the town to show where the workshop is
- Go during the day, because if you choose to walk around at night, workers
might not be there, will save you a trip
- # of workshops you can own is equal to your clan tier + 1


Now lets talk about finding the best workshops:

Here is the basics of how a workshop works:
- Takes raw materials made in nearby villages and makes a finished product of
of said materials.
- More materials = more products that can be made to sell at the town

When making a workshop, you have to see what is being brought into town
by surrounding villages. This will insure you make a profit.

To find out what is being brought into towns, hover over the town and see
what villages are connected and then hover over the village to see what
material they produce because that is what they bring to their connected
town.
Also villages connected to castles will still bring their materials to
the nearest town, not castle, so also check villages that are close to towns
but connected to a castle.

Here is a list of types of workshops and their required material to operate:

Iron Ore / Hardwood = Smithy
Olives = Olive Press
Grain = Brewery
Clay = Pottery Shop
Grapes = Wine Press
Hides / Linen = Tannery
Silver = Silversmith
Hardwood = Wood Workshop
Wool = Wool Weavery
Cotton = Velvet Weavery
Flax = Linen Weavery

Here is a list of what each workshop makes:

Smithy = Weapons / Armour / Tools
Olive Press = Oil
Brewery = Beer
Pottery Shop = Pottery
Wine Press = Wine
Tannery = Armour / Leather
Silversmith = Jewelry
Wood Workshop = Bows / Arrows / Shields
Wool Weavery = Clothing
Velvet Weavery = Velvet
Linen Weavery = Linen

Now while supply of materials is important, so is the demand for these
materials. This one is a bit harder to track and find out exactly, but
here is the summary:
- The higher prosperity a town has, the better demand and also prices will
tend to be higher so better profits for you.
- Also towns that have huge amount of traffic is very good; ones where
caravans and lords visit often and buy or trade.
- You can wait at a town and see what villagers bring in and what caravans
buy to get a better look of what is popular at a town and if the town
has a lot of traffic.

Also a quick tip to increase traffic is to decrease danger:

What i mean is get rid of bandit hideouts, take more enemy fiefs around the
town your workshop is in. This is done to make caravans stop by more at a
town because they will not be chased by bandits or enemy lords.

Also help friendly villagers or caravans as much as possible in the
surrounding area to make sure they arrive at that town your workshop
is in.

I also have a link to a map i found on reddit. It was made for patch 1.0.1
but it is still useful because it shows every village and their main
production. Link to map - https://i.redd.it/9y8tqrfni1t41.png

Now as of 1.4.1 the best workshops to make are Tanneries and Smithies,
they seem to always be in demand.
Breweries are a close third because of the abundance of grain at almost
every town in the game.
