📋 About This Mod

This is a mod that aims making workshop management easier and more engaging. Inspired by Workshop Manager but this is not an update. Instead a different take on workshop management.

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.

(Optional) Global Workshop Customizations

Do you feel base game isn't balanced well? With this mod you can adjust:

  • []Price of the workshops.

    []Starting workshop count.

    []Workshop count per clan tier.

    []Production speed.

    []Wages of your workshops.

    []Trade experience gained from daily workshop profits.

    Customizable

    Almost every feature in this mod is fully customizable to your own tastes in settings.

    Save Compatible

    Install at any state of game with no issues. You can also uninstall at any state without issues but remember that items in your warehouses will be deleted. Take those on you first.

    Troubleshooting:

    • []Make sure you have correct version installed for your game version.

      []Having BetterExceptionWindow installed is highly recommended. Please report using it.

      How to translate:

      • []Copy TR folder under `Modules\WorkshopsAdvanced\ModuleData\Languages`.

        []Rename folder to appropriate one for the language you want to translate to.

        []Edit files only under this folder. You can check `std_module_strings_xml.xml` under `Modules\WorkshopsAdvanced\ModuleData\Languages` to see English text.

        []Share the mod keeping only those files and the file structure.

📊 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.
🎯 Is This For You?
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.
📦 Install:Easy· 5-10 minutes

💡 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.
