Clay Digger Stand
The Clay Digger Stand is a work post for a zombie at Riverside. Put a zombie holding a shovel on it, and it digs 1 Clay a round and puts it into a chest at Riverside, then starts again. It comes with Zombie Digging (50 red, 10 blue, after Iron Smithing), the same technology as the Sand Digger Stand, and costs 2 Wooden Planks and 4 Iron Nails at the Riverside build desk.

Notes
- Build a chest at Riverside first. The clay goes into storage in the area, and without a chest there is nowhere for it to go.
- There is only one. The stand appears at a fixed spot, and building it removes it from the build desk.
- The shovel sets the pace. A Rusty Shovel needs 8 swings of 10 seconds a round, a Bronze one 4. An Iron Shovel does it in 3 swings of about 3.6 seconds, about 11 seconds in all. A Steel one is no faster, at about 4 seconds a swing. The walk to the clay pit and back comes on top. These times are worked out from the game files, not timed in play.
- The Excavator zombie talent takes 2 steps off each round, here and at the Sand Digger Stand.
- The clay pit is still yours to dig. It is shared with the zombie and never runs out.
- The technology stays hidden until both ways into the Old Mine are open. The Riverside Porter Station, from the same technology, carries clay and sand to the factory.
