jjones - I think every player build structure will work. Later on when I have build my large castle (or town or whatever it will be) I dont think I need the workbenches anymore. Beds and/or fireplaces (I am unsure wich) can have the opposite effect it seems. I never build beds or fireplaces in my outposts - just some storage (for metals) and a portal to travel to and from the outpost and my main base. So I return home and sleep in my own bed every night and then travel back and do the grind. I have never been attacket in my outposts
