Island Workshop
- See also: Isleworks Handicrafts
The Island Workshop is a building added with the Island Sanctuary in Patch 6.2 which provides a place for mammets to create handicrafts out of the materials a player obtains on their island. Isleworks Handicraft production is the primary means of earning 
Seafarer's Cowries. The vast majority of activities in the Island Sanctuary funnel into workshop production.
Workshop Upgrades and Unlock Condition
Workshops are unlocked by following the Island Sanctuary tutorial questline at Sanctuary rank 3.
A hideaway can have up to two Workshops at Sanctuary rank 3, up to three beginning at rank 5, and up to four beginning at rank 15 (after Pathfinder Mk III/VI clears more plots).
Workshops can be upgraded. Upgrades cost various gathered materials and take time to complete (Earth hours). Each upgrade adds an additional 10% value to all items exported from that workshop: items made from a rank V workshop are worth 140% the value of items made form a rank I workshop.

Island Experience
Island EXP is earned after exporting items by talking to the Tactful Taskmaster. One workshop-hour of crafting awards 70 regardless of other factors. If all hourly slots are occupied, a full 24-hour cycle for one workshop awards 1,680 . If all four workshops are fully occupied for a 24-hour cycle, that is equivalent to 6,720 .
Efficiency
By chaining production of Isleworks Handicrafts that share a category, workshops will operate efficiently. For example, if a production agenda has 
Isleworks Grilled Clam immediately followed by 
Isleworks Baked Pumpkin (both categorized under Foodstuffs), then the Baked Pumpkin craft will receive a bonus, producing two items with the time and material cost of only one.
The bonus is only applied if the second item is different from the first, e.g., Isleworks Grilled Clam → Isleworks Grilled Clam will not receive a bonus. However, Isleworks Grilled Clam → Isleworks Baked Pumpkin → Isleworks Grilled Clam will receive an efficiency bonus for both the Baked Pumpkin and the second Isleworks Grilled Clam craft.
