{{RequireSkill | Cooperage | 0}} is required to build a '''Basic Tub'''. There is also a [[Sturdy Tub]] and [[Marble Tub]].

* {{Require | 2 | Canvas}}

== Use ==
A Basic Tub is the simplest of the tubs and has the following uses:

* Rot 20 [[requires::Dung]] in 20 [[Water]] to create 4 [[produces::Saltpeter]] in 20 minutes.
* Rot [[requires::Flax]] to produce [[produces::Rotten Flax]] (Not recommended - use a river/lake instead)
* Produce [[produces::Sulfur]] from [[requires::Sulphurous Water]] at a ratio of 1:1.
* Produce [[produces::Salt]] from [[Salt Water]] (1 salt produced every 75 salt water evaporated, evaporation occur at a rate of 1 every teppy minute, Requires multiple refills)
* Produce [[produces::Potash]] from [[Salt Water]] (1 potash may be produced every 75 salt water evaporated, evaporation occur at a rate of 1 every teppy minute, Requires multiple refills)
* Produce [[produces::Clay Steeped Canvas]] from 1 [[requires::Canvas]], 10 [[requires::Clay]], and 20 [[requires::Water]] in 3 minutes. (Note: no water should be in the tub to start or you will get a "Tub busy" pop-up message)
* Produce [[produces::Clay Steeped Wool Cloth]] from 1 [[requires::Wool Cloth]], 10 [[requires::Clay]], and 20 [[requires::Water]] in 4 minutes. (Note: no water should be in the tub to start or you will get a "Tub busy" pop-up message)

A Basic Tub can hold a maximum of 100 [[Dung]] and 20 [[Water]]. When filled with water, it will evaporate it at a rate of 1 water per minute. You can add more water at any time to continue a process. Starting in T9, the evaporation of each 1 liquid (each tick) in the basic and sturdy tubs deteriorates them a set amount, and after a certain amount of cycles the tub will say "This tub has sprung a leak!" indicating imminent collapse of the tub.

The [[Sturdy Tub]] is the next step up in quality.
The [[Marble Tub]] is the first tub you can get that does not crumble.

== Comments ==
* The [[Sturdy Tub]] requires more canvas but is more durable - build that one if possible.
* Always better to rot flax in a river/lake rather than a tub as the river/lake doesn't break.
* If the tub is near the end of its lifetime, salvage it to recover some materials rather than letting them go to dust.
** If built and used in banks, one or two of the bank will wear out first giving warning that now is the time to salvage/rebuild.

<blockquote>
[Redacted]: [13m] So was the saltwater not killing tubs a bug? 
... 
Malard: [12m] and thank you for pointing out the saltwater exploit :P 
tehm: [11m] thank you for letting us sit for 75 minutes for a 50% chance of potash and now we're going to break the tubs doing it. 
Malard: [11m] well, you dont have to sit 
Somebob: [11m] I was assuming it mostly intended given that a breaking tub would vanish partial salt into the aether. 
Malard: [11m] if your topping it up actively, then you havent figured it out properly :) 
... 
Malard: [10m] just fill it, let it drain 
Malard: [10m] then it will say, you see a small amount of salt in the tub 
Malard: [10m] fill it again 
Malard: [10m] and let it drain 
Malard: [10m] until it gives you salt yield 
... 
Lukeera: [05m] The problem with the fill it and let it drain model is a) the distance and b) unless it has changed lettinga tub go dry hastens its demise. 
Lukeera: [04m] Perhaps give us storage barrels at a more useful place in the cooperage chain. You should also reconsider how that skill goes up. 
'''Malard: [03m] Lukeera letting a tub go dry has no effect on usage''' 
'''''Malard: [03m] each time you perform a fill action (except for pure water) will add 1 tick to the usage of a tub''''' 
tehm: [03m] high capacity tubs (and water troughs for ranches) would be nice... 
Malard: [02m] you can get high capacity tubs 
Malard: [02m] add a barrel to it

=== Change Log ===
From the change log, 20 September 2019 (times UTC) 
6:27 PM fixed: it is possible to make a tub crumble without ever using it 
6:41 PM fixed: tubs producing salt from saltwater will eventually break 
6:56 PM adjusted the xp gain for cooperage 
9:17 PM changed: tubs have a finite number of evaporations instead of uses, this means topping up a tub from 15 -> 20 does not use up one of the uses, meaning you no longer get best efficiency from waiting until the tub is empty before refilling. 
also i've removed the "random" uses that basic tubs started with, previously it was between 3 and 9 uses, which i think is the cause of a lot of people's complaints about crumbling early. They are now all consistent you will also know when a tub is "expired" as it will say in the UI that it has sprung a leak

== Theories ==
* [[Potash]] may spawn when salt is produced from the evaporation process.

The likelihood of potash is likely decided by the tub itself when built. With no difference between sturdy or basic tubs. Or maybe it's just about a 50% chance...
