Crushed Shale
Shale rocks that have been crushed into a fine gravel.
Notes
Crushed Shale is a fine gravel produced by crushing shale rocks, commonly found in RainForest and Wetland biomes. It serves as an ingredient in advanced construction materials such as Asphalt Concrete, Reinforced Concrete, and Shale Brick, and can also be used as a solid, diggable building block. Stockpiling Crushed Shale early is useful for later road and concrete projects.
