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 purely for organisational purposes, and provides no strategic advantage.

Crafting

Nails can be used in the following recipes:
