Nails are components used in crafting and carpentry.

Usage

Carpentry

Nails are a required component for most carpentry recipes, most of which also require a hammer.

They are required for barricading doors and windows, and to hang sheet ropes.

Weapons

Both the baseball bat and plank can be improved by combining with nails, making them deal slightly more damage.

Boxes

100 nails can be consolidated into a box of nails, which is helpful for organizational purposes, and reduces the stack weight by 70% (0.3 for x100 nails vs 1.0 unboxed)

Distribution

Nails can be found in hardware stores, factories (specifically logging factories), tool sheds, garages, and various other storage locations.

Nails can be obtained by dismantling various wooden furniture. The amount of nails obtained is dependent on your carpentry level and which item of furniture is being dismantled. Different pieces of furniture require different tools to dismantle.
