Fixed spawns
There are 260 Cement Bag spawns in Appalachia, not including internal (load screens) and Instanced locations.
I have used a mod on Custom World to make the concrete bags glow orange so they are easier to see in the pictures.
Here is an example of what the bags of cement look like in the photos.
Bags of Cement are a pick-up history, per server, fixed spawn.
If you don't know what any of that means, then you might want to read over this guide here first.

Cement Farming guides in this series
Hi, I'm Kat or Duchess
​
I'm an Australian data miner who writes farming, event, and food buff guides for Fallout 76.
​
I believe that all knowledge and information should be free, which is why my guides will never be locked behind a paywall. However, running a website and photo and video editing software does not come cheaply.
​​
So, If you found my guides helpful, please consider buying me a ko-fi (coffee) using the link below.
​​
All monies go towards the tools for writing my guides and maybe for an actual cup of coffee or 3 ;)

Alternatively, share my guides with your fellow vault dwellers and help them to survive the wasteland.
