Paperwork is a sheaf of office documents left on desks and in filing cabinets. The game files it as junk.

It can be read like a newspaper, though it is mostly there to fill offices with realistic clutter. Its one craft use is the Make Firecracker recipe, where it serves as the paper wrap. Paperwork is found, never crafted. Offices and police stations are full of it.

Uses


Make Firecracker is the recipe that takes it. Paperwork is one of several paper options, along with a Sheet of Paper, Graph Paper, a Brochure, a Flier, a Handwritten Letter, a Doodle and Mail. The recipe also needs Glue, Gunpowder and Twine. A pair of scissors is used and kept. The result is a Firecracker.

Because offices hold so much of it, paperwork is the easiest paper to gather for firecrackers. Using it saves a clean Sheet of Paper for other jobs.

Used in Crafting


Everything made with the Paperwork, with how much each recipe takes, the other materials it needs, the station and the skill.
