Tier of toolboxes
Toolboxes
There are three types of Reward Chests that can be obtained from supplies, each containing a different tier of toolbox. Check the Reward Chests to see which chest drops which Tier of toolbox. Each toolbox yields a varying number of tools.
Different toolboxes require varying amounts of energy and time to open.
Tier 1 Toolbox
A Tier 1 toolbox fully unfolds and vanishes in three stages, each stage requiring an increasing amount of energy, starting from 5 energy, then 10 energy, and finally 15 energy. The time required to open each stage also increases, the last stage takes 15 minutes of in-game time to open.
Tier 2 Toolbox
A Tier 2 toolbox fully unfolds and vanishes in five stages, each stage requiring an increasing amount of energy, beginning with 5 energy and increasing by 5 energy at each subsequent stage, up to 25 energy. The time required to open each stage also increases, the last stage takes 25 minutes of in-game time to open.
Tier 3 Toolbox
A Tier 3 toolbox unfolds and disappears in ten stages, each demanding progressively more energy, starting at 5 and increasing by 5 at each stage, up to 50 energy. The time required to open each stage also increases, the last stage takes 2 hours of in-game time to open.

Tools
There are three types of Toolboxes in the game which you can obtain from Reward Chests, each toolbox yields a varying number of tools. you can create up to ten tiers of tools, with each tier requiring the merging of three identical tools, similar to the way crops and animals are combined. These Tools necessary for repairing certain structures, such as the outhouse, chicken coop.
Tip:
Since these tools are scarce and infrequently found in the game, it is advisable to employ the 'merge 5' method to conserve and combine tools efficiently.
- ↑ Time needed to complete this stage, ignoring the free 30-second skip
- ↑ The amount of Energy needed upfront to remove the obstruction at the corresponding stage
- ↑ The amount of Energy passively gained while waiting for a worker to finish the corresponding stage. This does not account for other methods of gaining Energy.
- ↑ The change in Energy between starting and finishing the corresponding stage
