Masonry Basic Upgrade

Efficiency Modules

Basic Upgrade that greatly increases efficiency when crafting Masonry recipes.

Notes

The Masonry Basic Upgrade is a module that can be installed in a compatible crafting station to increase the efficiency of Masonry recipes, reducing resource cost and craft time. This upgrade is the first tier of module available for Masonry stations; higher-quality Advanced or Modern Upgrades require the station to be inside a higher-tier room. Fitting your primary Masonry station with one of these basic upgrades early is a practical way to stretch your materials further before you can build a better workshop.
