The Brick is a fired clay building block. It is the main material for brick walls, door frames and window frames in the Masonry skill.
Every brick structure follows the same pattern. A mason's trowel, which is kept, lays the bricks with concrete as the mortar. Brick Wall, Brick Window Frame (Basic) and the brick door frame each take four bricks. Brick Wall (Short) takes two.
Bricks are fired from Clay Brick (Unfired) in a kiln. They are also found ready made, most of all in masonry stores and on construction sites. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
All brick building belongs to Masonry and needs no station. Each recipe needs a trowel and some concrete besides the bricks.
The poor builds come first. At Masonry 2 a survivor can lay a Brick Wall (Poor), a Brick Window Frame (Poor) and a Brick Door Frame (Poor). Each takes four bricks and two concrete.
Better work opens up at Masonry 5. The good Brick Wall, the craftsman Brick Window Frame and the Brick Door Frame (Good) each take four bricks and two concrete. Brick Wall (Short) builds a Brick Fence (Good) from two bricks and one concrete.
A large brick build needs a lot of bricks. Four bricks per wall section adds up fast, so a kiln near the building site saves many supply runs.
How to Get Brick
Firing is the reliable supply. Fire 3 Bricks bakes three Clay Brick (Unfired) in a Primitive Kiln. Fire 6 Bricks bakes six at once in an Advanced Kiln. Both need something to start the fire and one log or piece of charcoal as fuel. No skill level is needed for either.
The Advanced Kiln doubles the batch for the same fuel.

Locations
Masonry stores are by far the best place, with three in five containers holding bricks. Construction sites hold them in one container in five. Garden stores, sheds, tool stores, tool store storage, garage crates and warehouse boxes each give about one in ten.

Notes
- A mason's trowel is needed for every brick build and is never used up.
- Concrete is the other material to stock before laying bricks.
- The Advanced Kiln fires six bricks on the same fuel as three in a Primitive Kiln.
- Construction sites are a good early supply before a kiln is built.
