The Carpentry Skill governs building with wood. It covers everything from barricades and furniture to walls, doors, stairs and whole custom buildings. It belongs to the Crafting group.
Carpentry is one of the most important skills for a long run. A safehouse needs barricades, fences and walls to keep zombies out. Rain collectors, chicken coops, composters and drying racks all come from carpentry too. A higher level makes everything sturdier, better looking and faster to build. The Carpenter starts with the most Carpentry by far. The Construction Worker, Engineer and DIY Expert each start with a smaller head start.
How to Level Carpentry
Carpentry experience comes from building and crafting with wood. Sawing logs into planks is the classic first step, and each log gives three planks plus some experience. Barricading windows and doors with planks gives experience as well. Removing a barricade gives a little too.
Barricading experience skips the usual multipliers. It stays the same with or without a skill book, so barricading works best as a side benefit rather than a training plan.
Building from the build menu gives the most experience as the skill rises. Each piece built adds to the skill, and higher-level pieces give more. Wooden walls are a strong choice in the middle levels. A box of nails, a stand of trees and a saw cover every step from log to wall. Each step in that chain gives its own experience.
The Woodcraft show on Life and Living TV gives a large boost in the first week. Woodcraft tapes and some Exposure Survival tapes help as well. Watching only pays off in the first three levels, unless experience spills over from a level-up. Reading the matching skill book first makes every gain count for more.
The Crafty and Fast Learner traits each raise the experience rate to 130 percent. The Slow Learner trait lowers it to 70 percent.
Experience comes from building, not from dismantling. Building a piece only to tear it down again wastes nails and planks. Build what the base needs instead, and let each project carry the skill forward.
A good early order puts the books first. Find a carpentry book before any big project, since its boost applies to every action that follows. Then saw logs during the first days of scavenging. Keep a saw in the pack, because logs turn up all over the map. Once the base has power, run Woodcraft tapes in the background.
The surest path to the top levels joins all of these together. Read the right book, watch every Woodcraft episode, saw planks from fresh logs and then build walls with them. Each part of that chain adds its own experience.
The XP each Carpentry level asks for, with the running total from level 0.

Carpentry Level Effects
Higher levels make every build faster. Constructions also come out with more health, so walls and doors hold longer against zombies. Built items look better as the skill rises.
New pieces unlock at key levels. Level 1 opens rugged furniture, a chopping block, the wooden floor and small drying racks. Level 2 brings wall frames, door frames, window frames and the first shoddy walls. Level 3 brings log stairs, chicken coops, rain collector crates and the first wooden doors and fences.
Walls and windows come in three grades. The first grade needs level 2, the second needs level 4 and the third needs level 6. Level 5 opens the rain collector barrel, the spinning wheel and barbed wire fences. Level 6 brings plaster walls, wooden stairs and the craftsman composter. Level 7 adds the best wood crates, doors, fences and bar elements.
The speed gain becomes clear around the middle levels. A low-level carpenter spends a long time on each wall. A trained one puts up the same wall much faster. Wall health also climbs with the skill, so a high-level carpenter builds walls that hold a crowd far longer.
Dismantling also improves. Taking apart furniture with a hammer and a saw or screwdriver returns planks and nails. A low level often turns the wood into Unusable Wood instead. A higher level brings back more of the materials.
Carpentry Skill Books
The Carpentry Skill Books come in five volumes. Each volume speeds up experience for two levels. Carpentry I: "A Guide to Nailing" covers the first two levels. Carpentry V: "Site Joinery and Architectural Carpentry" covers the last two. Reading each volume just before its levels gives the most benefit.
The five volumes, the levels each one speeds up, the XP bonus while those levels are trained, and how long each takes to read. Reading times are game time at the default two minutes a page. Sitting down and wearing Reading Glasses each cut the time by a tenth, the Fast Reader trait cuts it by about a third, and Slow Reader adds a third.

Carpentry Starting Levels
The Carpenter begins with four levels of Carpentry. That start skips the early grind and opens sturdy walls from the first day. The Construction Worker, Engineer and DIY Expert each begin with one level. The Handy trait adds one more level at character creation.
A Carpenter can fortify a safehouse almost at once. Lower starts still help, because level 1 already opens useful furniture and floors.
These occupations and traits start a character with levels in Carpentry.

Carpentry Recipes
At the lowest level, the skill covers basic woodwork. Logs and branches can be sawn into planks and handles. Plank barricades, log walls, log fences and simple traps such as the Snare Trap and Crate Trap are available. Molds for bricks, tiles and shingles also start here.
Low levels add nail-spiked weapons, the Wooden Toolbox and the Large Bellows. Mid levels bring the Wooden Bucket, the Oil Press, metal casting molds and the Simple Loom. Railspike and sawblade weapons follow at levels 4 and 5. Level 6 adds cudgels with garden fork, spade and sawblade heads.
Hammers are the main carpentry tool. Many recipes also need a saw, a screwdriver or a drill. Nails and planks are the most common ingredients.
Nails are the usual bottleneck early on. They turn up in garages and tool stores, the same places that hold hammers. Dismantling furniture in abandoned homes also returns nails. Planks come from sawing logs, from dismantling and from crates in warehouses. Most recipes work on any surface such as a table or counter.
Every recipe that asks for Carpentry or trains it, one tab per level asked.
