Earl's Workshop

Earl's Workshop is a place accessible from the Roboton islands. It is mainly used to build four projects.

Description

“Them fish-bots are coughin' up Robot Scrap all across the four islands - reel it in and haul it to me. I'll bang it into somethin' useful: a boat that floats, a gizmo that listens, a gun that bakes. Somebody switched these robots ON, partner, and we're gonna build our way to whoever done it. Probably. No refunds.” - Cousin Earl

Getting there

Go to one of the Roboton islands: BetaBay, CrashSite, SigValley, or LostLab, and click on the Robot Scrap number that is between the Chum amount and the Fish Now timer.

Projects

The Projects only need to be built once.

• (hidden in icon) A rickety cart made of welded robot parts and driftwood, overflowing with glowing scrap, one wheel slightly bent

Requirements:

Earl's Scrap Exchange

  Please indicate when this becomes available to use?

I think this unlocks once you build project 4.
