The Barbed Wire Bundle is twelve coils of Barbed Wire tied together for storage. It packs a large supply of fencing wire into one item.
The bundle is opened with the Unstack recipe, which gives back twelve Barbed Wire. A double click on the bundle runs that recipe straight away. The loose coils then go into weapon wraps, fences and other crafts.
Bundles are made by stacking loose coils, and whole bundles turn up in wire factories. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
The Unstack recipe is the bundle's main use. It needs no tool, station or skill. It returns twelve coils of Barbed Wire.
Those coils feed several recipes. The Barbed-Wire Wrap Weapon recipe wraps one around a Broom, Ice Hockey Stick or Plunger. The Barbed Wire Fence recipe builds a fence with Carpentry level 5.
The Research Craft option teaches two recipes. These are Barbed-Wire Wrap Weapon and Make Barbed Wire from Wire. The second lets plain Wire be turned into Barbed Wire with pliers.
A bundle also carries a lot of scrap metal value. Melting one down gives a smith a large supply of metal.
How to Get Barbed Wire Bundle

Locations
Wire factories are the place to find bundles. Their metal shelves and other storage hold one about one time in five. Everywhere else a bundle is very rare. Closets, farm storage, sheds, studios, warehouses, garages, barns and storage units hold one only once in a long while.
The places where it spawns, with the rough chance per container. Each tab shows one kind of place.

Notes
- A double click opens the bundle into twelve coils.
- Research Craft teaches both the wrap weapon and the barbed wire recipe.
- A wire factory is worth a special trip for bundles.
- The bundle is heavy, so unstacking only what is needed keeps a pack light.
