Tough Rod

Tough Rod
Mod	Tinkers' Construct
Type	Item

The Tough Rod is an item added by Tinkers' Construct which is used in advanced tools and weaponry. It costs 3 ingots worth of a material to create. For example, if the player were to make an Iron Tough Rod, it would require a Smeltery, a Tough Rod Cast, and 3 ingots worth of Molten Iron.

Recipe

For metallic Tough Rods, 3 ingots worth of molten metal must be poured onto a Tough Rod Cast placed on a Casting Table. Non-metal Tough Rods can be created with the Part Builder.

Usage

Tough Rods are used to make the following tools and weaponry, most of which require a Tool Forge to be created:

• Hammers
• Lumberaxes
• Excavators
• Scythes
• Cleavers
• Battleaxes
• Javelins.

Javelins are the only weapon that can be crafted without a tool forge.
