  • Armor Workbench
  • Chemistry Station
  • Power Armor Station
  • Tinker’s Workbench
  • Weapons Workbench

Cloth can be used to craft and upgrade your armor and weapons, or repair them from their damaged state. This makes Pre War Money an incredibly handy resource to farm, as it’ll mean you’ll never be left wanting for Cloth again.
