When your builder first moves to town in My Time at Sandrock, they’re one of two new hires for their position, taking over a fledgling Workshop from the town’s retiring builder. And while the Workshop that you take over leaves quite a lot to be desired, building your Workshop reputation can do a world of good.

Whether it's clothing, food, general goods, and more, the people of this tiny town have your builder's needs pretty much covered.
PostsAs you continue to successfully deliver commissions to the folks of Sandrock, your reputation will increase. With a better Workshop rating, you can accept more (and better) commissions, and you’ll earn some pretty sweet prizes for the work you’ve been doing every month, too.
Workshop Reputation Overview
Raise Reputation By Finishing Commissions And Playing The Story Missions
When you first arrive in Sandrock and take over for the retiring builder, Mason, his workshop leaves a bit to be desired. It's now up to your builder to improve the workshop.
While you will earn reputation points for your workshop for proceeding normally through story missions that see you revitalizing the town, the best way to do this is by completing commissions.
Your Reputation Lowers When You Miss Or Cancel A Commission
Though you don't lose reputation points for taking your time through the game, be mindful that you don't accept more commissions than you can actually finish.
Understandably, your neighbors are disappointed when you don't follow through on your promises, and your Workshop loses reputation as a consequence if you prove unreliable.
Always consider the deadline and difficulty of a commission before accepting it.
To avoid this, simply don't take on too many commissions at once. You're not penalized for not accepting commissions, but you are penalized for failing to complete ones you have accepted in time.
Take Out Ads In The Newspaper To Increase Reputation Gained
To the left of City Hall, you'll see a large wooden display board. Interact with it to bring up the most recent edition of the newspaper.
You'll see a handful of amusing stories, but you'll also have the option to take out an ad in the paper.
Doing so will cost 100 Gols, but the ad runs for a whole week. Because of this advertising, during the week your ad is active, you'll earn a range of bonuses.
While you may gain additional Gols and experience, earning additional reputation is a possibility! It's marked with a red banner that reads, "More rep" in the bottom-right corner of the paper.
Workshop Rankings Change Weekly, With Monthly And Yearly Rankings Considered
Even though you're making progress with your workshop ranking throughout the month, you'll only be evaluated at the end of every month.
You'll learn the results of your inspection in a letter from Yan in the mailbox the following day. He also sends along any rewards earned for ranking high in the inspections.
There are prizes for placing each month, but the yearly inspection yields higher rewards for maintaining such a place.
