Wood Pulp

A byproduct of processing lumber, wood pulp can be burned for Mortar or pressed into paper.

Notes

Wood Pulp is a lightweight byproduct produced when processing lumber at a sawmill, and it can also be recycled from hewn logs. Its primary use is as a fuel with a modest 50 Joules of energy, making it a convenient heat source for early mortar production in a campfire or kiln. Because it also has the Compostable tag, any leftover pulp can be disposed of without creating lasting waste, though it is most efficiently burned or pressed into paper products for further crafting.
