User:Rabble/treated boards

From A Tale in the Desert
Jump to navigationJump to search

The game ignores extra attributes on treated boards. If a building needs "Pliable" boards then "Pliable Glossy White" boards will work just as well. This allows you to make one set of boards which satisfy multiple building requirements.


  • Recipes: All treatment tanks have slightly different values. The formula the works on my tank might not work on your tank without slight changes. The following formulas work on my wood treatment tank located at 756, -1648 (Saqqarah). The tank is public. You are welcome to bring your own boards and treatment materials and make the items you need.


  • Treated Boards Prices: If you don't have the treatment materials or can't be bothered to make the boards, then I'll make them for you. I charge 3x the treated boards in wood. So 500 treated boards will cost you 1,500 wood.
  • Trading Procedures: Chat me in-game and let me know what boards you want. I'll make the boards and setup a trade chest for you. No deliveries. No rush orders. All orders must be picked up at my camp in Saqqarah.
