Rebar

Ribbed steel bars for reinforcing stuctures.

Notes

Rebar is a ribbed steel bar used as a reinforcing material in advanced construction. It is produced from steel and serves as a key ingredient for Reinforced Concrete and several types of Ashlar stone blocks, as well as modern Metallurgy Research Papers. Because it is a mid-to-late-game industrial component, stocking rebar is essential for high-tier building projects and research progression.
