The Wire Bundle is a stack of twelve Wire tied together. It is a storage form of Wire that keeps a large supply in one item.
The bundle is used by breaking it apart again. The Unstack recipe turns it back into twelve Wire, ready for Cage Traps, nails, fishing nets and wire fences. Double-clicking the bundle runs the Unstack recipe straight away.
Bundles are made with the Stack Items recipe. They are also found in large numbers at wire factories. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
The Unstack recipe is the bundle's only use. It gives twelve Wire with no tools and no skill. Those coils then go into every Wire recipe. The Make Cage Trap recipe takes five Wire. The Forge Nails From Wire recipe takes one Wire per batch of Nails.
The bundle holds a lot of metal. That makes it a valuable haul to bring home from a wire factory, even though it is heavy to carry.
How to Get Wire Bundle
The Stack Items recipe ties twelve Wire into one Wire Bundle. No tools or skill are needed. Stacking is handy for storing a large supply neatly.

Locations
Wire factories are the place to find bundles. Their metal shelves and other containers hold one about two times in five. Elsewhere bundles are extremely rare. Closets, sheds, farm storage, studios and warehouses turn one up only very rarely. Barns, garage storage and storage units are even less likely.

Notes
- Double-clicking a bundle splits it into twelve Wire.
- A wire factory is worth a dedicated trip for its bundles.
- The bundle is heavy, so it is best unpacked where the wire will be used.
