Lathe
A set of smoothing and woodworking tools that assist in creating wheels and transportation.
Notes
The Lathe is an advanced crafting station used for producing wheel and transport components, specifically Iron Axles and Screws. It accepts Advanced Upgrade and Mechanics Advanced Upgrade modules to improve its efficiency, and it requires placement inside an enclosed, Tier 3 room with at least 20 cubic meters of free volume. Because of its high room-tier requirement, ensure your settlement has invested in high-quality building materials and room furnishings before constructing a Lathe, or your station simply won't function.
