Hammer
The building tool used to upgrade, rotate and repair structures. Every builder needs one.
Crafting one takes 100× Wood, straight from your inventory — no workbench needed. A recycler breaks one down into Wood. 31 skins exist for it — see every Hammer skin with live prices, topped by Welded Hammer.

Recycling
Radtown recyclers (found in monuments) give more than the safe-zone recyclers at Outpost and Bandit Camp. A percentage next to a yield is the chance of receiving it.
