The bad news is, you may have already cooked the various meats to eat for your Sole Survivor to eat, meaning you’ll need to hunt down more creatures. The good news is, most of the items are ones you’ll come across during ordinary exploration.

Here’s a checklist of the ingredients needed for each of the Fallout 4 Wasteland Workshop cages. Which means stocking up whenever you can helps. Preparing for your menagerie of beasts is surprisingly time consuming. Do you know how hard it is to find a Softshell Mirelurk when you need it? I ended up walking along the river until I remembered stumbling across some at the Westing Estate when completing a quest months ago. The cat cage needs 2 Softshell Mirelurk Meat to build it. In order to get something to stumble into your trap, you need bait. It already gets you in the copper, gear, and steel collecting mindset you’ll need for Wasteland Workshop.īut the real challenge comes from the hunt. Copper and gears are already rather rare on their own, but I found it much easier to meet the requirements thanks to the Automatron add-on. This has to be a durable metal box with copper wiring and, in some cases, mechanisms to get the door open and closed. To start, you’re going to need quite a bit of steel and copper for most cages, and gears for larger models.
The requirements to catch each kind of character will have you do enough hunting already. There’s no need to head to certain areas to gather particular prey. You have to have the cages set out, powered, and ready to go, but that’s it. Now, capturing critters in Fallout 4 doesn’t always make sense. Thanks to an array of cages, it’s possible to start trapping the Commonwealth’s animals and humanoids. Most importantly, you can cobble together something of a zoo. You can put up more defenses and have some extra decorations to make it feel like home. With the Wasteland Workshop added to Fallout 4, players get more items to improve their settlements and make them cooler.
