ROB RUN Contraband Workbench: Repacking Cargo

The Contraband Workbench repacks compatible Contraband Cargo into a higher-value cargo product. It serves a different purpose from a Cargo Workbench, which opens compatible shipments for their contents. This basic distinction is supported by SwoleBenji’s captioned run and Tpose Gaming’s separately attributed account.

Use the intended input

Bring Contraband Cargo to the contraband station. Do not assume that an electronics crate belongs there: both accounts distinguish ordinary cargo opening from contraband repacking. The developer’s broader construction description confirms that workbenches are equipment you add to your base. [C001–C003]

Check the result before calculating profit

The sources discuss an improved cargo product, but a tooltip value and the final sale payment are different observations. We do not combine them into a fixed profit claim. Our recommendation is to compare your input cost, current output quote and transport risk before buying a large stock.

FAQ

Can it open every crate? The documented process is repacking compatible contraband. Do not use it as a universal cargo opener.

Is the income guaranteed? No. A processing outcome does not establish safe transport or a universal payout.

Are the exact controls and timers confirmed? The accounts support the basic workflow. We have not visually validated the current interface or a complete module-dependent timing table.
