Oiled Beam
An Oiled Beam is a Wooden beam treated with fat so it keeps outdoors. At the Woodworking Workbench II, 2 beams and one Melted Fat make 2, with Building mastery 6; the recipe comes with the Circular Saw technology, together with the beams themselves.
Its main job is the Reinforced Beam (one Oiled Beam and an Iron Detail at the anvil), which clears the underground passages. It is also the rod of the Advanced Rod, and a list of buildings take 2 to 6: lanterns, the Printing Press (3), the Laboratory II, the garden and vineyard upgrades (4) and the Confession Booth III (6).
