Summary
Building a CAMP is a must inFallout 76. Players can build their CAMP almost anywhere they like. There are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of different items that players can build, but knowing what to build can be a bit tricky, especially for new players.
When building, there is a whole section dedicated to resources. This section is filled with items that players can place in their CAMPS to generate certain things passively. Some of the items are obtainable through quests, others via event drops, and some are only available in the Atomic Shop. Out of all the CAMP resource generators, there are a handful that are really worth investing in.
Updated on November 10th, 2024, by Benjamin Joe:Fallout 76 gives players the ability to earn, buy, and find all sorts of CAMP items. While most of the items available are decorative, some are used to collect resources. The original list contained a lot of the best CAMP resource items to own. That said, it didn’t cover all of them. With each update, Bethesda releases CAMP resource items for players to get their hands on. With so many options, it can be hard to know which ones to unlock first. This update will bring in three new entries to the original list while also updating some of the existing entries with additional information.
16Motorized Butter Churn
A Highly Sought-After Fasnacht Reward
The Motorized Butter Churn produces cooking oil.This is a very useful resource, not only for cooking items like Fasnacht Donuts but also for crafting things like energy ammo. When it is broken down into its core components, cooking oil provides the player with plastic and oil. These are both key resources, but oil in particular is incredibly useful for crafting ammo such as fuel.
The Motorized Butter Churn will generate one bottle of cooking oil every 10 minutes, and it can hold a total of 12 bottles, making it a great way of passively farming oil and plastic from the comfort of the player’s base. While the plan can only be earned during the Fasnacht event, it is tradable. If the player wants to get the Motorized Butter Churn at their base, then they can check out online trading forums to find someone willing to set up a trade.
15Pemmican Collector
Passively Generate A Tasty Treat
The Pemmican Collectorwas only available during Season 17, so if the player didn’t unlock it then, there’s no way to get it now. This may change in the future, but for now, it is currently unavailable. The Pemmican Collector doesn’t require any power, and it will passively produce Pemmican over time.Since Pemmican never goes bad, it’s the perfect snack for players to carry around in their inventory.
Since Pemmican is a meat-based food, it won’t work for those using the Herbivore mutation. However, if the player is using the Carnivore mutation, then the positive effects of this tasty treat are doubled. By default, Pemmican has the following effects:
14Radstag Field Dressing Station
Generates Raw Radstag Meat
Originally, the plan to craft theRadstag Field Dressing Stationcould be obtained during the Rip Daring limited-time challenge. However, it can now be purchased from Mortimer in the Crater Core.Players can expect to receive one Raw Radstag Meat every 10 minutes.
Raw Radstag Meat can be grilled to make Grilled Radstag Meat. Grilled Radstag not only satisfies the player’s hunger level and gives them HP, but it also boosts their carry weight by 20 for a limited time.Managing carry weightcan be quite a challenge, so anything that gives the player a boost is always a valuable tool to carry.
13Butterfly Sanctuary
Generates Acid And Looks Amazing
Acid is a core component of various items. Players will need acid to craft a plethora of CAMP items and things like serums and meds.It’s impossible to have too much acid. For 700 Atoms, players can purchase the plan to craft aButterfly Sanctuaryat their CAMP. This canproduce 1 acid every 3 minutes and can hold up to 10 acid. It’s certainly not going to break the bank, but it’s a little extra that can help players out in a pinch.
This probably isn’t for everyone as it is quite a costly thing to purchase, but for those who find themselves running out of acid regularly, the Butterfly Sanctuary can be very helpful. Acid is a key resource that high-level players need in large quantities. So the Butterfly Sanctuary can really come in handy when it comes to farming a little extra acid.
12Purified Water Collectors
A Nice Profit Can Be Made By Selling Purified Water
Purified water is not only good for drinking, but it is used for crafting various consumable items. Not only that, but in large quantities,purified water can fetch a pretty pennywhen sold to one ofFallout 76’s many NPC traders.
There are lots of differentPurified Water Collectorsthat players can build at their CAMP. Out of all of them, the most popular is the Vintage Water Cooler. While it can only hold up to 2 bottles of purified water, these units are very small. So, it’s possible to place a lot of them in a small area. This is great for those wanting to farm some Caps.
11Weenie Wagon
Provides Players With An Item That Can Be Consumed To Complete Challenges
The Weenie Wagonwas a rare reward given out by Grahmduring Meat Week. While it is no longer available to earn, there are lots of players who are willing to sell the plan to craft it for some Caps. This fun little food standproduces Canned Dog Food over time. While it doesn’t sound particularly appetizing, there is a perk that increases the benefits of eating this tasty treat.
Also, there are daily and weekly challenges that require the player to chow down on some dog food, so this machine can be incredibly useful.
10Turbo-Fert Fertilizer Collector
Regrow Crops Instantly
The Turbo-Fert Fertilizer Collectorwas introduced toFallout 76during the Wastelanders update. This was also the update that brought NPCs into game.This item can be purchased from Samuel for 750 Gold Bullion once the player has reachedmax affinity with the faction.
When placed in a CAMP,the Turbo-Fert Fertilizer will passively produce Turbo-Fer Fertilizer Grenades.When used, these willinstantly regrow any cropthat the player has harvested in their CAMP. It’s ideal for herbivores who rely on crops for buffs.
9A Collectron
Provides Players With A Lot To Choose From
Collectrons passively go out and collect items for players.The robots have a little station where they deposit all their acquired goodies for the player to pick up.
There are lots of Collectrons inFallout 76.Some gather food, others gather junk, and during one seasonal event, there’s a Collectron that gathers Holiday Gifts. Some of the most popular Collectrons can be seen below:
8Mirelurk Steamer

7Nuka-Cola Mystery Machine
A Nuka-Cola Every 5 Minutes
Nuka-Cola is featured ineveryFalloutgame. It is the preferred beverage of most Wastelanders, except for those living in New Vegas. Originally, this plan was a Season 14 Scoreboard reward, but it is now obtainable from Mortimer in the Crater Core. It costs 1250 Gold Bullion, and the player needs to reach the reputation of Cautious to be able to buy it.
The machine costs 15 Caps to use, and it dispenses a random bottle of Nuka-Cola.
