Pioneer Trail Crafting Workshop Collection hints at future building?

If you're feeling bogged down in Halloween content in Pioneer Trail, rest assured that Zynga hasn't abandoned thoughts of other things, as it's clear new items are definitely in the works. How do we know? A new Crafting Workshop collection has shown up in the game's Collections menu, and we're told specifically that these collectible items come from a Crafting Workshop Building.

To be specific, the folks at CEGamers have found a picture of the Crafting Workshop in its final form. Whether or not the building has already started a slow rollout, or if this was just a preview of things to come, however, remains to be seen. For what it's worth, the game's official forums has made no official claim about the Crafting Workshop event existing, let alone anything about when the building will launch for all users.

Either way, we do know further details about this collection, which requires the following five items:

Saw Dust
Bent Nails
Framing Squares
Measuring Sticks
Bird Houses

All five of these items can be earned either at random while actually building the frame of the Crafting Workshop, or by collecting the building's Daily Bonus everyday after it's finished. For completing the collection, you'll receive 100 XP, 1,000 coins and a Motion Components item. This could just be a collection item, or it could be something used within the Crafting Workshop itself, but again, details are pretty slim at this point. Either way, we'll make sure to let you know when we know more about the Crafting Workshop so keep checking back.

Have you received the Crafting Workshop in your game, or are you in a "wait and see" pattern too?

Pioneer Trail Sneak Peek: Crafting Workshop building requirements

Earlier this evening, we brought you a look at a new collection that has already gone live in the Pioneer Trail - the Crafting Workshop collection - but doesn't have a building to go along with it... yet. According to the folks at CEGamers, this new building will be constructed like basically all others, via an item collection process that we've seen time and time again.

If these details end up being accurate (that is, when the building starts rolling out in full to all pioneers), you'll be expected to gather the following:

    10 Metal Clamps
    10 Large Nails
    10 Metal Brackets
    15 Hacksaws
    15 Crafting Gloves
    15 Crafting Goggles


From the looks of things, the Metal Clamps, Large Nails and Metal Brackets will be earned through general news items posted on your wall / feed, while the other three items - the Hacksaws, Crafting Gloves and Crafting Goggles - will be earned through individual gift requests sent to those neighbors that you think will be most likely to help you.

It's interesting to think of what this building (after construction) might actually be able to do. Perhaps it can craft new decorations or even craft building materials that you commonly need around the Homestead? Or, maybe it will have some other, completely new function in the game. Whatever the case, we'll stay on top of things, and will let you know when Zynga officially announces the launch of the Crafting Workshop, along with whether or not any goals come with it.
