A Brick Machine becomes available once you've learned the Brick Automation skill. The skill Structure Reinforcement is needed to upgrade it.

Upgrades are: 300 / 900 / 1500

Cost

• 50 Boards
• 40 Concrete
• 40 Bearings
• 4 Iron Bar
• 4 Copper Sheeting
• 4 Brass Small Gear
• 2 Iron Medium Gear

• Capacity: You can load it up with mats for up to 300 bricks at a time.
• Speed: It makes bricks at a rate of 300 bricks per ~40 minutes.
• Base Machine Holds:
  • 200 Clay
  • 150 Mud
  • 100 Sand
  • 250 Silt
  • 100 Straw

First Upgrade (base and hopper)

• 4 Copper Sheeting
• 300 Concrete
• 50 Boards
• First Upgrade Holds:
  • 600 Clay
  • 450 Mud
  • 300 Sand
  • 750 Silt
  • 300 Straw

Use

• With a Brick Machine, you can make Bricks, Wet Firebricks or Wet Clay Bricks.
• It makes the bricks in batches of 6. Bricks can be removed and raw materials may be added while the Brick Machine is running
• You can increase the output speed via tuning with the Mechanics skill and by installing a Springbox.

Note: Installed a 9221 springbox and still getting 6 bricks in 45 seconds - Zotep 3 October 2013

• Capacity: You can load it up with mats for up to 900 bricks at a time.
• Speed: same as non-upgraded? Thus 900 bricks in ~2 hours? (not confirmed yet)

Notes

• I measured my upgraded brick machine as doing 6 bricks every 45 teppyseconds, which is consistent with this. --Inkoaten 22:44, 6 May 2009 (EST)
• On 1/31/2012 Telanoc announced that a 2nd level of Structure Reinforcement can 'further' update the base and hopper.

Tuning

Tuning level	Speed
0	6 bricks in 45 teppyseconds
1	6 bricks in 18 teppyseconds

Brick Machine Myths

Myths are unproven or unknown and guessed at features. They may not have anything to do with anything.

Peter: rumour has it that if you make a round of bricks in your brick machine before trying to tune u are 50% more likely to have successful tuning
