Bronze Nails

Collect the first metal supplies

Bronze Nails are used by early repairs and construction. Collect Bronze Scrap from dismantled objects around the home yard, then use Wooden Anvil rather than waiting for a complete smelting chain. If you have already used the available scrap, produce Bronze Ingot for the second recipe.

Build the anvil and reserve materials

1. At the home blueprint desk, place Wooden Anvil using 1 Short Log and 1 Stone. Finish construction with the hammer.
2. Craft the scrap recipe first when early mastery or ingots are limiting you. Keep enough nails for the next repair.
3. Later demands include Zombie Supplier Station, Simple Barricades and Workshop Hours. Compare the complete material requirements before spending all your stock.
