Cooperage skill level 0 is required to build a Basic Tub. There is also a Sturdy Tub and Marble Tub.

Use
A Basic Tub is the simplest of the tubs and has the following uses:
- Rot 20 Dung in 20 water to create 4 Saltpeter in 20 minutes.
- Rot Flax to produce Rotten Flax (Not recommended - use a river/lake instead)
- Produce Sulfur from Sulphurous Water.
- Produce 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 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 Clay Steeped Canvas from 1 Canvas, 10 Clay, and 20 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 Clay Steeped Wool Cloth from 1 Wool Cloth, 10 Clay, and 20 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, although you may want to wait the full 20 minutes to ensure maximum potential from your tub. This is because after some number of uses, the tub will crumble to dust with no resources returned.
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.
Theories
- Potash may spawn when salt is produced from the dissolution process.
The likelihood of potash is likely decided by the tub itself when built. With no difference between sturdy or basic tubs
