Iron Road Tool
A tool for tamping dirt into roads.
Notes
The Iron Road Tool is a tier 3 tamper used for building roads, consuming 15 calories per use and lasting for 2,000 uses before it breaks. It trains the Basic Engineering skill with each use and can be scrapped into a Scrap Tool when no longer needed. Since roads significantly speed up vehicles, investing in a good tamper early helps your town's logistics keep pace with industrial expansion.
