WHERE & HOW TO FARM Where to farm Train Yard, if it appears on the current procedural map; geography and monument availability vary.
Train Yard can combine a loot sweep with recycling at its site Recycler. Treat its listed loot locations as possible spawns, not guaranteed containers. A useful run gathers available loot, processes a deliberate component batch, and leaves with the output.
Before you go Radiation protection suitable for the monument's hazards. A weapon and healing supplies for threats on the approach. Inventory space for loot and Recycler output. An exit plan and readiness to leave if contested. Check the current map for Train Yard and approach with protection equipped. Scan entrances and sightlines for players before entering. Search accessible buildings, sheds, freight cars, and yard areas for available crates and barrels. Deal with threats before looting exposed areas; leave if the approach is compromised. Sort components and choose surplus items for the site's Recycler. Process a manageable batch and collect the output. Leave with useful loot and materials by a route that is safe at that moment. Farming tips Possible loot spawn points do not mean a crate or barrel will be present on a given visit. The standard Recycler returns 60% of recyclable material value; select items with that recovery in mind. Repeat, collect and use Repeat when Train Yard is available and the loot and recycler risk justify a trip. Contents and occupancy vary, so the haul is not fixed.
Common mistakes Treating every possible spawn as guaranteed loot: sweep efficiently and reassess if the yard is empty. Entering without suitable radiation protection: prepare before approaching. Recycling items needed for a craft: sort and reserve them first. When to stop or switch Leave after a worthwhile haul and processing, or immediately when another player controls your route.
