User:Rabble/treated boards

From A Tale in the Desert
Jump to navigationJump to search

The game ignores extra attributes on treated boards. If a building needs "Pliable" boards then "Pliable Glossy White" boards will work just as well. This allows you to make one set of boards which satisfy multiple building requirements.


  • Recipes: All treatment tanks have slightly different values. The formula the works on my tank might not work on your tank without slight changes. The following formulas work on my wood treatment tank located at 733, -1651 (Saqqarah). The tank is public. You are welcome to bring your own boards and treatment materials and make the items you need.


  • Treated Boards Prices: If you don't have the treatment materials or can't be bothered to make the boards, then I'll make them for you. I charge 2x the treated boards in plain boards or 1x in charcoal. So 500 treated boards would cost either 1,000 boards or 500 charcoal.
