Stone Road Tool

Tool

A tool for tamping dirt into roads.

Notes

The Stone Road Tool is a tier 1 tool used to tamp dirt into built roads, consuming 20 calories and 1 durability per use with a maximum of 400 uses before it breaks. Crafting and using the tool trains the Basic Engineering skill, and once it is worn out, it can be recycled through a Scrap Tool recipe. Note that its low damage multiplier of x0.2 against animals makes it ineffective as a weapon, so use it only for its intended road-building purpose.
