A workshop is a business in Mazeworld specialized in all matters related to crafting and gunsmithing. People in charge of workshops are called engineers.

Engineers are not simply workshop owners, but are people charged of various other tasks in the Mazes as they can notably be found in electrical rooms, watching over the power controls and ensuring the well-being and proper functioning of machinery, factory lines and anything else requiring power in the Mazes.

Engineers, similarly to scientists and Science Teams, may belong to one of many Engineering Teams.

• Workshop ET - Specializes in crafting, repairing, maintaining and customizing firearms, as well as certain other related hardware. Workshop engineers are Maze Customs qualified by requirement.
• Power maintenance ET - Specializes in overwatch and maintenance of electrical rooms, power network systems, and ensures that the Mazes' sectors are supplied with energy.
• Computer systems ET - Specializes in administration, maintenance and overwatch of computer systems, networks, hardware and software. Some specialize in watching and maintaining the Mazes' intranet and the relevant infrastructure.
• Production ET - Specializes in conception and mass production of products in the Mazes, and typically oversee factory rooms, or some other form of production area; this team is further divided in subtypes depending on the products they oversee, such as firearms, food, packaging, clothing, and so on.
• Proving Grounds ET (AKA the "PG Team") - A rarely seen type of engineer in the Mazes, Proving Grounds (or simply PG) engineers are responsible of research, development, and testing of new technologies. All of the new weapons, accessories, or pieces of gear are first tested by the PG Team.
• Building ET (AKA the "Bees" or "B's") - Another rarely seen team, they typically act outside of the inhabited sectors as their job is to construct, maintain, and repair the rooms in various sectors. They work in conjuction with Power maintenance engineers, and are the ones who bring light, furniture, hardware, and facilities to life, transforming barren, empty room sectors into inhabitable areas.
• Mining ET - A special engineering team whose members are usually not referred to as engineers but instead, and as the name may imply, as miners. They work in the Mines, extracting metals, minerals, gemstones and other similar resources to be later used for production. Miners get different equipment from other engineers due to the special nature of their job.

Note: An engineer outside of a workshop does not sell anything.
Typically, an engineer is paid 145 P$/day for their work, plus bonuses depending on their specific line of work.

Rules of a workshop

• Accepts credit
• Accepts valuables and will exchange them for money or credit

• Crafting services
  • Sells 6 random blueprints
  • Sells 10 random crafting ingredients
  • Sells toolkits, one of each type.
  • Has a 50% chance to sell one random Handloading kit.
  • Only sells one exemplary of every blueprint displayed
  • Sells 1d8 of each crafting ingredient item displayed
  • Buys back all items for 50% of their value, except toolkits.

• Gunsmithing services
  • Proposes a weapon customization service dubbed Maze Customs
  • Sells 1d6 Gun Cleaning Kits, 200 P$ per GCK.
  • Firearm maintenance: Repairs firearms according to the following formula:
    • (11 - (DV))*2 P$ per 1% to repair (On a DV+0 gun, repairing 50% = 1100 P$)
    • GL: Costs 50 P$ per 1% to repair. RL: Costs 100 P$ per 1% to repair.
  • Firearm maintenance: Cleans firearms according to the following formula:
    • (11 - (RV))*1 P$ per 1% to clean (On a RV+0 gun, cleaning 50% = 550 P$)
    • GL: Costs 30 P$ per 1% to clean.
  • Melee weapon maintenance: Repairs melee weapons depending on their base material and according to the following formula:
    • x P$ per % to repair - where x depends on the base material of the weapon
    • Base material costs: Steel: 18 P$ ; Iron: 9 P$ ; Wood, Plastic: 6 P$ ; Leather, Cloth: 2 P$ ; Any other material: Cannot be repaired

When threatened in his or her workshop, the engineer will activate a door lock system, barricading himself/herself with the contestant and only allowing people to enter the room, but not leave it. This allows for Guards to barge in more easily and prevent the contestant from escaping, until he/she pays.
Threatening or attacking an engineer can give the contestant a code orange, and killing one can increase it to a code red.

All the toolkits, blueprints and materials of the shop, as well as the shop's till, are permanently locked in the crate they came from.

If an engineer dies, they will drop the following:

• Weapons: Heckler ＆ Koch MP7A1 with 40-round magazine
• Clothing and armor: Hard hat, Technician jacket, Technician trousers, Steel-toe safety boots

• Load-bearing gear: 1x SMG mag rig + Viper belt
  • 2 extra, full 40-round MP7 magazines
  • Level 3 toolkit

Miners instead carry the following:

• Weapons: Heckler ＆ Koch HK416 with 30-round magazine, RX01 red dot sight and M620 light + 2x small C4 charges (200g) + Pick-axe.
• Clothing and armor: Hard hat, Technician jacket, Technician trousers, Steel-toe safety boots

• Load-bearing gear: Viper belt + Field pack + STANAG mag rig
  • 2 extra, full 30-round STANAG magazines
  • Detonator

Custom weapons

More information: Maze Customs

As an expansion of their workshop services, engineers are also qualified to offer Maze Customs services. The Maze Customs atelier uses workshop and engineering hardware to modify, enhance, and customize firearms for clients who would like to enhance further their weapons. The service is available to contestants, who may bring certain firearms to the atelier to have them customized.

Engineering specifications documents

Engineering specifications documents, or simply specs docs or specs files, are special files containing unique instructions and blueprints which can only be used by Workshop engineers. When taking a specs file to the workshop, the engineer will keep it and study it, in order to tell the Contestant what can be built with this or these items. The knowledge is then spread among all engineers in the Mazes so that all Workshops may build this item, valid until the Contestant ascends (afterwards they must be found again).
