The Wooden Bucket is a plank bucket held together with iron bands. It carries water, milk and other fluids. It is also a required part for building a forge.
It comes in two sizes. The regular bucket holds about ten litres and weighs little. The large bucket holds about twenty litres but weighs far more. Both serve the same jobs.
The bucket is found mostly in the Wild West themed buildings. A carpenter can also build one from planks.
Using
The bucket is a fluid container. It can be filled at a tap, a river or a rain barrel. When it holds at least 120 millilitres of water, seltzer water or tainted water, the survivor can drink from it automatically when thirsty.
The Make bucket of milk recipe accepts it as the bucket. The regular Bucket and the Carved Bucket also hold ten litres. The large Wooden Bucket holds twice that.
A Wooden Bucket is one of the materials for a Simple Forge and an Advanced Forge. Both builds also need thirty Stone Blocks, concrete, a Blacksmith Anvil and a Log. The Advanced Forge also takes a Large Bellows. A mason's trowel is kept as the tool.
The Make Wooden Bucket recipe needs Carpentry 2. It uses 4 Plank, 4 Nails, 1 Wire, 1 Small Handle and 2 Iron Band - Small. A hammer and a saw are kept as tools.
The Research Craft option on the bucket teaches Forge Bucket and Carve Bucket.
