The Toolworks is where all the resources in the game are converted into the relevant tokens. Each extension added to the Toolworks improves both the rate and the efficiency of conversion from resource to token. The base Toolworks always requires a fixed number of resources to operate: 3 Timber, 4 Coal or 3 Iron. Each conversion is a seperate proccess, therefore it can produce a single type of Token or all three types simultaniusly.

The Toolworks is where all the initial tokens timber, coal and iron ([[File:token timber.png|16px|link=token]] [[File:token coal.png|16px|link=token]] [[File:token iron.png|16px|link=token]]) are gained. It does so by converting resources ([[File:icon timber.png|16px|link=material]] [[File:icon coal.png|16px|link=material]] [[File:icon iron.png|16px|link=material]]) - timber from the '''[[Sawmill]]''', coal from the '''[[Coal Mine]]''' and iron from the '''[[Foundry]]'''. Each extension added to the Toolworks improves both the rate and the efficiency of conversion from resource to token.

The conversion rate varies from one Toolworks to another Toolworks on the same map. As a result, it is always worth looking at all the Toolworks on the map and finding out which converts a particular resource the best. For example, within the same map two Toolworks had the following base operations:
 
  
−
[[File:Toolworks_Rate.png|200px|Thumb|Left|Toolworks 1 with a high conversion]] [[File:Toolworks_Rate_Low.png|205px|Thumb|Left|Toolworks 2 with a low conversion]]
+
The frequency and placement of Toolworks contributes significantly to the perceived difficulty of any given map.

This shows that in a single map, between two separate Toolworks, one can produce 3 times as many Iron Tokens for every three units of Iron supplied. This effect does not only affect Iron; Coal and Timber can both have a variance of conversion rates between Toolworks. The rate that extensions work is similar, as different extensions will provide differing improvements to productivity. In the case of both the base Toolworks and extensions, the number of resources required remains constant with the variance occurring in the number of tokens received. The only exception to this is the product storage extension; which always has a 1 to 1 conversion on all three resources.

The base Toolworks always consumes a fixed number of resources per '''[[Game tick]]''': 3 Timber [[File:icon timber.png|16px|link=material]], 4 Coal [[File:icon coal.png|16px|link=material]] or 3 Iron [[File:icon iron.png|16px|link=material]], before taking the distance bonus into account.

Toolworks Default Model.PNG


The Toolworks is where all the initial tokens timber, coal and iron (Token timber.png Token coal.png Token iron.png) are gained. It does so by converting resources (Icon timber.png Icon coal.png Icon iron.png) - timber from the Sawmill, coal from the Coal Mine and iron from the Foundry. Each extension added to the Toolworks improves both the rate and the efficiency of conversion from resource to token.

The frequency and placement of Toolworks contributes significantly to the perceived difficulty of any given map.

Processes

The base Toolworks always consumes a fixed number of resources per Game tick: 3 Timber Icon timber.png, 4 Coal Icon coal.png or 3 Iron Icon iron.png, before taking the distance bonus into account. Each conversion is a separate process; therefore it can produce a single type of Token or all three types simultaneously.

With all the extensions added to the toolworks, it will be able to consume 10 Timber Icon timber.png, 9 Coal Icon coal.png and 9 Iron Icon iron.png per Game tick, producing 8 Wood Token timber.png, 4 Coal Token coal.png and 4 Iron Token iron.png tokens. However; the Product Storage extension requires all three resources together, so often the practical limit is one less of each.

The base building can be connected to the electrical network E energy.png from Era 5 onward, which will further increase its production while using more raw material. The amount of electrification production bonus is shown in the brackets.

The base building process is:
