Efficiency Modules

Basic Upgrade that greatly increases efficiency when crafting Blacksmith recipes.

Notes

The Blacksmith Upgrade is a Basic efficiency module that reduces resource cost and craft time for work orders at blacksmithing stations. As a basic-quality upgrade, it can be installed in any room regardless of tier, making it accessible early in the tech progression. Stocking multiple copies allows players to upgrade several stations or replace modules as better tiers become available.
