Wooden Mold

A useful material for hardening, curing, and other various uses.

Notes

The Wooden Mold is a crafting component used in the production of Shale Brick and Wet Brick, and it is itself crafted through a recipe of the same name. It functions as a basic container for shaping and curing these specific building materials. Since bricks are a key tier-2 construction material, having a steady supply of Wooden Molds is a practical prerequisite for any settlement looking to advance its building quality beyond tier-1.
