Feedback and feature requests are welcome!
No promises your request will be implemented.
Workshop Upgrades
Upgrade your workshops in different ways to benefit from your situation in the best way and increase your profit.
Warehouse
Rent a warehouse in any town that both you and your workshops can use. Your workshops can store input materials and products in this warehouse. You can also use warehouses to store your items instead of carrying them around.
Workshop Production Control
Take full control of when one of your workshops is working, when it should buy material from town or selling products to town easily through town menu.
Workshop & Caravan Cooperation
Don't like the idea of selling your products to Town it is located, where it is cheap due to supply? Get rid of the middle man. Let your caravans buy workshop products straight from your warehouses.
Workforce Adjustment
Want to do more with your workshops instead of buying and forgetting? Change the size of workforce. Higher workforce will bring faster production but beware, they will also bring higher wages with decreasing efficiency.
(Optional) Prevent Losing Workshop Due To War
Don't want to lose your hard earned workshop because of petty wars between factions? Enable this feature in the settings and your workshop will stop working until the end of war instead of being seized.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 875 endorsements and over 52k downloads, showing solid trust.
- Adds deep management layers—upgrades, warehouses, and caravan links—that make workshops more engaging.
- Optional toggles for war seizure and global balance let you tailor the mod to your playstyle.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in November 2022, so it may not be compatible with the latest game patches.
- Author notes feature requests are welcome but no promises, so some ideas may never be added.
For Bannerlord players who find vanilla workshop management too passive and want more control and depth. Also for those who enjoy economy sims and caravan logistics. Skip if you prefer a simple, hands-off workshop system or are on a very recent game version that might break compatibility.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the mod's forum page for any compatibility notes with the current game version before installing.
- Start with a single workshop to learn the new warehouse and production controls before expanding.
- Use the optional war-seizure prevention setting if you frequently get caught in faction conflicts.
