The Bucket of Clay Cement is a metal bucket filled with wet clay mortar. It is a homemade stand-in for concrete, mixed from clay and sand or clay and grass.
The cement counts as concrete in every recipe that wants it. That covers the brick and stone walls of the Masonry skill and the big fire stations of metalworking. Construct Primitive Forge, Construct Primitive Furnace and the Cooking Pit all take it. A full bucket holds about four uses before only the empty Bucket is left.
The bucket is always mixed by hand. Mix Bucket of Clay Cement and Mix Bucket of Clay Cement from Grass both make it without any skill or station. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Masonry is the main use. Brick Wall, Brick Window Frame (Basic), Brick Window Frame (Craftsman) and the brick door frames all take concrete with a trowel. So do Stone Wall, Stone Doorframe and Stone Window Frame at Masonry 2. Brick Wall (Short) builds a Brick Fence (Good) at Masonry 5. The Tile Floor and the Stone Cabinet take it too.
Fire stations come next. Construct Primitive Forge, Simple Forge and Construct Advanced Forge all accept it. Construct Primitive Furnace, Construct Smelting Furnace and Construct Blast Furnace do the same. The Dome Kiln, the Stone Mill, the Simple Cooking Pit and the Cooking Pit round out the list.
The bucket also makes weapons. Make Kettle Maul at Maintenance 4 and Make Bucket Maul at Maintenance 5 both accept it. Research Craft on the bucket teaches both of those recipes.
The Bucket of Concrete does the same jobs. It holds the same four uses at the same weight. Clay cement is the choice when no Bag of Concrete Powder is at hand.
How to Get Bucket of Clay Cement
Mix Bucket of Clay Cement fills a Bucket with ten units of water, two Clay and one Sack of Sand. Mix Bucket of Clay Cement from Grass swaps the sand for fifty Grass Cutting or Hay. Both recipes need no skill and no station. A metal Bucket gives this item, and a Carved Bucket gives the Carved Bucket of Clay Cement instead.

Notes
- The empty Bucket comes back when the cement runs out.
- Fifty Grass Cutting or Hay can stand in for the Sack of Sand.
- Research Craft on the bucket teaches Make Bucket Maul and Make Kettle Maul.
- A full bucket is heavy, so mixing close to the building site saves effort.
