Waxed Paper

A sheet of paper coated with wax to give it new unique properties.

Notes

Waxed Paper is a lightweight crafting ingredient produced by coating a sheet of paper with wax, giving it new properties beyond plain paper. It is not used directly by players but serves as an input for higher-tier goods, specifically Dendrology Research Paper Modern and Insulated Copper Wiring. Because those recipes consume it, keeping a steady stockpile of waxed paper supports a town's research progression and electrical infrastructure.
