Gameplay Notes

Wooden Vises are not consumed during production when used as catalysts.

A small stockpile is usually sufficient to supply multiple workshops.

Players often set production limits to avoid overproducing them.

Strategy

Producing Wooden Vises early helps unlock tool production chains that support other industries such as metalworking, textiles, and construction. However, because they are long-lasting catalysts, investing heavily in their production is rarely necessary.

Usage

Catalyst
