Rivet

A steel bolt used to hold together inventions.

Notes

Rivets are steel bolts used as a common intermediate component in advanced machinery, appearing in recipes for combustion engines, generators, electronics assembly, ship frames, and various metal signs. Produced via the Rivet recipe, each rivet weighs 2 kg and stacks up to 100, making them a staple item for any industrial town. Practical tip: because rivets feed into so many high-tier crafts, having a dedicated smith keep a steady supply in the store prevents bottlenecks when building engines or large metal structures.
