'''Tools''' are a refined [[Resources|resource]] in [[Main Page|Project Rebearth]], produced by the [[Tools Workshop]] from {{Icon|Metal}} and {{Icon|Wood}}. They serve a dual role in the game: as a construction material for advanced buildings and as an ongoing maintenance cost consumed by most production buildings. Maintaining a steady {{Icon|Tools}} supply is essential for any settlement with advanced industry.

== Overview ==
The [[Tools Workshop]] converts {{#expr:0-{{BuildingData|name=tools_workshop|data=rate|resource=metal}}}} {{Icon|Metal}}/day and {{#expr:0-{{BuildingData|name=tools_workshop|data=rate|resource=wood}}}} {{Icon|Wood}}/day into {{BuildingData|name=tools_workshop|data=rate|resource=tools}} {{Icon|Tools}}/day, requiring {{#expr:0-{{BuildingData|name=tools_workshop|data=balance|resource=population}}}} workers. The production rate of {{BuildingData|name=tools_workshop|data=rate|resource=tools}} {{Icon|Tools}}/day must be balanced against the combined consumption of all buildings that require {{Icon|Tools}} maintenance. As a settlement grows and adds more production buildings, the demand for {{Icon|Tools}} escalates rapidly.

{{Icon|Tools}} are also required as a one-time construction cost for many advanced buildings including the [[Windmill]], [[Bakery]], [[Refinery]], [[Glassworks]], [[Iron Mine]], [[Port]], [[University]], [[Museum]], and [[Town Hall]]. The [[University]] and [[Museum]] are the most expensive at {{BuildingData|name=university|data=cost|biome=wood|resource=tools}} {{Icon|Tools}} each, while the [[Port]] requires {{BuildingData|name=port|data=cost|biome=wood|resource=tools}} {{Icon|Tools}}.

== Production ==
<div class="rb-table-frame"><div class="rb-table-inner">

</div></div>

The [[Tools Workshop]] is the only building that produces {{Icon|Tools}}. It requires both {{Icon|Metal}} (from the [[Refinery]]) and {{Icon|Wood}} as inputs.

== Production chains ==
=== Full Tools chain ===
{{Chain|Ore|Iron Mine|Ore|Refinery|Metal|Tools Workshop|Tools|title=Full Tools Chain}}

The complete chain begins with the [[Iron Mine]] extracting {{Icon|Ore}}, which the [[Refinery]] smelts into {{Icon|Metal}}, and finally the [[Tools Workshop]] forges {{Icon|Metal}} and {{Icon|Wood}} into {{Icon|Tools}}. This is one of the longest production chains in the game and requires significant worker investment across all three buildings.

== Consumption ==
{{Icon|Tools}} are consumed as ongoing maintenance by a wide range of production buildings. The following table lists all buildings with {{Icon|Tools}} consumption rates.

The [[Iron Mine]] and its upgraded variant are the largest consumers of {{Icon|Tools}} at {{BuildingData|name=iron_mine|data=rate|biome=wood|resource=tools}} {{Icon|Tools}}/day each. The upgraded cranes ([[Improved Stone Crane]], [[Improved Clay Crane]]) also consume {{BuildingData|name=stone_crane_upgraded|data=rate|biome=wood|resource=tools}} {{Icon|Tools}}/day each. Note that the [[Woodcutter]] and [[Tent]] only consume {{Icon|Tools}} in the [[Wood Biome]].

== Construction ==
{{Icon|Tools}} are required as a one-time construction cost for these buildings:

</div></div>

== Other sources ==
{{Icon|Tools}} can be purchased from other players through the [[Market]] (up to {{formatnum:{{BuildingData|name=market|data=marketStorage}}}} capacity) or the [[Port]] (up to {{formatnum:{{BuildingData|name=port|data=marketStorage}}}} capacity). Trading for {{Icon|Tools}} is often necessary in the early game before the full [[Iron Mine]] to [[Tools Workshop]] chain is established.

== Affected by ==
{{Icon|Tools}} production is affected only by the all production modifier, which applies to every production building including the [[Tools Workshop]]. The goods production modifier targets only {{Icon|Wood}}, {{Icon|Stone}}, and {{Icon|Earth}}, and does not apply to {{Icon|Tools}}.
