Scrap Wood is a broken, splintered piece of lumber too poor for building. The game files it as junk, but it still has three good uses.

It burns as fuel in a fire. It can be carved into two Small Handle with a knife. It also goes into a charcoal burner to make Wood Charcoal.

Scrap Wood turns up in bins, survivor safehouses and derelict buildings.

Uses


Fuel is the simplest use. A piece of Scrap Wood burns in a campfire or stove for about forty minutes.

Carve 2 Small Handles turns one piece into two Small Handle. It needs a sharp knife or meat cleaver, which is kept, and Carving 1. Antlers, Firewood, a Broken Branch and several broken bats and handles fill the same slot.

Burn Small Wood into Charcoal takes small wood items and gives twelve Wood Charcoal. It runs in a Charcoal Burning Barrel or a Pile. Charcoal fuels forges and furnaces.

Bins in any building and in fire stations turn it up about one time in eighteen. Derelict buildings and a derelict steel factory hold it rarely.
