Description

Fine-grained brown mortar, perfect for masonry. Required to build stone housing, walls, or fireplaces.

Creation

• The quality of the clay used to create the mortar affects your success chance.
• The maximum quality of the resulting mortar is equal to the sand's quality.
• If you fail to create the mortar, 0.20kg will be consumed from each of the clay and sand.

Uses

• Can also be used in the creation of concrete when combined with lye.
• Mortar can be combined and still used in house building. After each brick is added, 2kgs of mortar will simply be removed from the combined lump.

Notes

• Mortar is a bulk item and may be stored in crates and BSBs in default units of 2.0 Kgs
• Mortar, like clay, takes damage after a couple of hours. To increase its lifetime, put it into a container.
