A Can Opener is a tool primarily used for opening cans.

Overview[]

Can openers allows players to open canned foods without losing between 10% and 30% of the food as spillage. While either a knife or hatchet will also allow the player to open a can without spillage, a can opener is only used to open cans. Using a can opener allows the player to preserve those tools' condition for other uses.

A can opener will degrade by 2% each time it is used. The can opener will not degrade in any other circumstances. A can opener can be harvested for one (1) unit of scrap metal and can be repaired with Simple Tools or Quality Tools for one (1) unit of scrap metal. Repairing restores 25% condition and takes 45 minutes.
