Building infrastructure in a digital world

Chapter 26 26. Basic Workbench

After cutting down the tree for so long, Su You collected enough wood after successfully using up the second whetstone.

The reason why so many trees are cut down at once is that she has to collect more than just wood for wooden boxes, because she has more than wooden boxes to make.

[Do you consume wood *105 to make wood blocks *35? 】

[Creating: wooden blocks, estimated time: 60 seconds]

[Remaining production: wood block *34, estimated time: 34 minutes]

……

Because most of the materials that will be used in the follow-up buildings are higher-grade materials, Su You further synthesized all the wood he cut into secondary materials, and did not leave much wood.

Three minutes later, Su You took out three wooden blocks, then opened the building interface, and built the first wooden box around the fire in the heart of the city.

Although the wooden box does not consume much material, its disadvantages are also obvious.

For example, the space is small, the stacking limit is small, it cannot be upgraded, it cannot be recycled...

I will not mention the first few, the last 'non-recyclable' means that when the wooden box is subsequently removed with a hammer, the material will not be returned.

After other buildings are demolished with a hammer, certain materials will be returned... This is why Su You didn't make a wooden box when she settled down.

Not only because she didn't have so many things that she had to use a wooden box to store them, but also because it was only a temporary foothold after all, and she would have to move it out sooner or later.

And after she moved away, the box could not be recycled or taken away. In this case, building a wooden box at that location was a waste of materials.

But it's different in the territory. Anyway, she will live here for the rest of her life (maybe?), so as long as there is enough space, the wooden box will be fine for the rest of her life.

After the wooden box was built, Su You started to organize things.

Although these things on her body can fit in one wooden box, she still plans to make two wooden boxes to sort these things into categories.

In this wooden box, she plans to put some commonly used basic materials, food, and tools that are temporarily unused...such as wood, stones, fibers (strings), ores, red berries, stone shovels, and so on.

In another wooden box, she is going to put fuel and temporarily useless things, such as broken bark, broken branches, unknown stones, charcoal, ashes and so on.

It took some time to sort out the first box and the materials for the second box, so Su You temporarily took the stone knife and went to the nearby berry bushes to collect about three groups of berries.

If the territory hadn't been established before, Suyou would have collected only one group, one was worried about not being able to finish the food, and the other was because there was not enough space to store the food.

The difference between food and other items is that food must be packed in the backpack, otherwise there is a high probability that wild animals will steal the food when you are not around.

Not only food, although other materials are inedible and useless to other creatures, there is still a relatively small possibility of being stolen. Bring your reasons.

She would rather occupy a backpack space and carry less things, and don't want the materials to be stolen, but she has to collect them repeatedly. You must know that this is more troublesome than one less backpack space.

But now she has a territory, she has enough space, so she doesn't need to worry about the food being stolen, she only needs to worry about whether she can eat it all.

Although the wooden box can protect the items from being stolen, it cannot improve the shelf life of the food, so after the berries are baked, the shelf life is still three days, which will not change.

Only after the warehouse is built and the roasted berries are placed in the warehouse, the shelf life will be increased to five days.

Although five days is still very short, at least it can last for a while.

However, Su You was not worried that she would not be able to eat all the three groups of berries collected at once, but she was a little worried that there would not be enough to eat.

Because now that the territory has been established, she will not be the only one who will open her mouth to eat in the future.

……

By the time Su You collected three groups of berries and threw them into the fire in the center of the city for cooking, some wooden blocks had already been prepared on the portable workbench.

[Do you want to consume wood blocks*3 to build wooden boxes? 】

[Under construction: wooden box, estimated time: 120 seconds]

……

[Do you want to consume wood blocks*2 to build a basic workbench? 】

[Under construction: basic workbench, estimated time: 10 seconds]

……

With the increase in the types of materials and the number of things that Suyou needs to make, it seems that only one portable workbench is not enough.

As long as she started making one thing, she had to wait until last night to continue making other things. This was undoubtedly a waste of time, so Su You decisively used two wooden blocks to build a second workbench.

The workbench is a special building that can be recycled. The recycling here is somewhat different from the recycling of other buildings. The recycling of other buildings refers to destroying the entire building with a hammer, and then dropping (returning) some raw materials of this building. This type of recycling is called 'material recycling'.

If the workbench is recycled with a hammer, then there are two options, one is material recycling and the other is 'full recycling'.

Complete recycling means that she has recycled the entire workbench, and she can just put it out when she needs to use it, and there is no need to build it again.

In general, all workbenches used to craft items have the characteristic of being fully recycled... Of course, the prerequisite is to have a hammer.

Su You doesn't have a hammer for the time being, because hammers need stones to make, but she doesn't have anything to dismantle or recycle for the time being, so she is not in a hurry to make this tool.

Ten seconds passed quickly, and the new basic workbench was finished, and Su You arranged the work.

【Do you want to make wood blocks*8 into planks*2? 】

[Creating: plank, estimated time: 60 seconds]

[Remaining production: plank*1, estimated time: 60 seconds]

……

"Two boxes consume six blocks, a workbench consumes two, and a bulletin board requires two planks, which means eight blocks..." In other words, the 35 blocks she made from the tree she had cut down for so long After getting such a small amount of things, only nineteen pieces of wood were consumed.

Su You sighed, and suddenly felt that although she had successfully built the territory within three days...or even two days, she still had a lot of things to do.

For example, she made these two boards to build a building called a bulletin board.

And the bulletin board has also been mentioned before, the function is to refresh the wandering npc near the territory...
