Sometimes, it can take a while for a Workshop Room to appear. If you want to increase the odds of this room appearing, here are a few tips and tricks you can follow:
- The workshop is a room featuring two doors opposite each other. This implies it won’t be visible if you open a door that borders the walls of the manor.
- You can try using Ivory Dice or draft rooms like the Library and Classroom, which allow you to reroll and hope you get a Workshop Room.
- The Wrench can be useful to increase the odds of the workshop appearing.
- The Conservatory increases the chance of rare rooms appearing.
