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.
Toxic Valley
43x Bags of Cement
Clancy Manor
13x Bags of Cement
1x Bag of Cement
From the fast travel point, head straight toward the Manor and stop when you get to the large pile of logs blocking the road. Jump on top of the pile of logs and face North. Walk forward and stop at the large broken tree trunk. Turn West and face the Manor. Walk toward and the first bag of cement will be on top of one of the wooden crates to the right.
6x Bags of Cement
Follow the edge of the Manor around, keeping it against your left-hand side. Continue to follow the edge of the house around (West) and you will find another six bags of cement. The fourth, fifth, and sixth bags are glitched under the dirt so throw some grenades to make them pop up to the surface.
5x Bags of Cement
Continue to follow the Manor around and stop at the rusty red ute/pick-up truck. Turn South and you will see a pile of Cinder blocks on your left, against the boarded-over windows. Behind the Cinder blocks are five bags of cement. The fifth bag is glitched underground so throw a grenade or two to bring them to the surface.
1x Bag of Cement
The final bag of cement is at the end of the bench, closest to the rusty red ute/pick-up truck.
Hemlock Holes
5x Bags of Cement
From Clancy Manor, go the main road out the front and face East. Follow the road towards Hemlock Holes golf course. It's a bit of a walk so just keep going until the road splits in two, one road staying straight and the other going right. Take the road on the right and stop at the first concrete barrier on your right. Turn and face South, you should see some hay bales in the distance. Run over to the hay bales, face West and you will see a stage with a speaker on it. Walk behind the stage and the five bags of cement are next to the Cinder blocks, to the right of the Tinker's bench. Some will be half underground but you can interact with these ones without throwing any grenades.

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.
