Grease

Grease is a manufactured good used in Timberborn crafting and production chains. It appears as one of the game's goods and functions as an intermediate material for recipes that require lubricants or fat-based inputs. Grease is produced by processing animal fat or specific raw materials at a production building and is consumed by other production buildings or recipes that list it as an ingredient.

Grease is tied into Timberborn’s goods and recipes system and participates in automation the same way as other crafted goods: it can be stored in warehouses, moved on conveyors and by carriers, and used as an ingredient by machines with recipe inputs. Because it is a non-food manufactured good, grease does not satisfy beaver food needs and should be kept separate from crop and kitchen production to avoid clogging food logistics. Plan production so grease output is routed directly to the consuming building or to storage near consumers to minimize carrier travel.

• Grease is produced by a recipe in the production building that appears in the Recipes list; check the Recipes page to see exact inputs and required building.
• Treat grease like other intermediate goods: provide dedicated storage and direct conveyor/automation paths between its producer and consumers to prevent supply bottlenecks.
• When automating, include grease in the same logistic loops as the machines that require it so that carriers do not waste trips carrying it across the map.
• Grease stack sizes and production/consumption rates must be balanced with upstream suppliers (e.g., fat or other raw inputs) and downstream demand to avoid overproduction, which can fill warehouses and block other goods.
• Because grease is not a renewable crop, ensure a reliable source of its raw ingredient or the producer building is placed near the supply to limit transport time.

Refer to the game's Goods and Recipes pages for the exact recipe, the production building that creates grease, and all buildings that use grease as an input.
