Let's discuss two by fours

Why do two by fours require a two by four in the recipe? Seems kinda weird, I mean, if I already have one why would I waste it to craft another one? Shouldn’t it be some splintered wood or logs or sticks or something besides itself?

Its 8 all the way down!

Well you see, if you craft from a 2 x 4, you know the exact dimensions of the piece you want to make. Rulers aren’t exactly common in the apocalypse, you know.

It’s like crafting plastic bags. Make a pile of 10 plastic bags, throw a string on it, and the essence of the string is absorbed, giving you… 10 plastic bags!

To be honest, the 10 plastic bag thing is a bundle of plastic bags, tied together to save space.

As for the 24 craftable from 24… No idea what’s the point.

Well see, the first 2x4 is 2"x4", and the one you craft is 2cmx4cm.
