Chipboard

Description
Your wood supply is low and you have so many houses to build, you could use bricks like some kind of European but there has to be a better way. Enter Chipboard.

This miracle of industry allows you to insert five wood into your machining table and walk out with 25 fresh boards. Your doors will open faster, your walls will open faster even your furniture will open faster because a bunch of pressed together wood chips do not make for sturdy building. But we aren't here for sturdy, we're here for speed and beauty. That's right, you could spend all day placing wooden floor boards or you could spend a couple minutes dropping a few panels to cover your bedroom in the beautiful veneer of Chipboard. It's basically the smoothed stone of wood.

Now if you're hoping for some kind of cheat mod I'm going to disappoint you, there's no free lunch. Along with being flimsy enough for any pawn throwing a tantrum to reduce your base to splinters, those splinters are just begging to ignite.
Still, after the rubble burns down it won't take long to rebuild. Chipboard is just that good.

Questions that will be frequently asked:
1) Did you make this mod?
I commissioned xrushha to make this mod on the modding discord, he gave me the files to edit and upload as my own. What this means is if you want patches or other fancy features I can't help you.

2) Why should I use this over the cheap wood mod?
That mod introduces new crafting tables and has balancing which isn't to my taste. Still, if you want to use both mods feel free, my Chipboard won't conflict with his plywood.

3) I only download mods which let me exploit the game, what can yours do for me?
Chipboard and anything made of it is near worthless so using it at every opportunity will ensure lower raid values and if tribals show up they might be wielding weak Chipboard weaponry. You can also keep your woodfired generators up 5x longer by converting wood to chipboard and using that as fuel.

4) Everything is burning!
Yeah.

Q: Has anyone tried to see if this still works in 1.4 (ignoring the version difference warning)?

ok.

If a weapon requires any woody material to make than yes. However, it will fall apart real fast so you probably won't want to.

Can I make weapons out of chipboard?

Love the color! Will do nicely with Stuffable floors if they interact as expected!

Updated the version number for you. Otherwise same old chip, same old board.

1.3?

thanks for changing that

Good news everyone!
By setting the commonality to 0 chipboard should no longer replace all the pregenerated structures.

@m11kire
I've changed the speed to 1.4.
