Who is Boomstick Bob?
The official profile presents Bob as a former railroad worker and demolition expert with a dangerous affection for explosives. That story makes him sound combat-focused, but the published abilities emphasize gathering speed, reduced sleep, defense and carrying capacity.
Boomstick Bob stats and abilities
| Abilities | +15% Mining Speed, +10% Chopping Speed, +1 Sprint Speed, -2 Sleep Hours, +2 Defense |
|---|---|
| Health | 90 |
| Energy | 75 |
| Encumbrance | 120 |
Bob’s capacity is excellent and his gathering bonuses cover two common resource types. Energy is only 75, so a large pack should support a planned work route rather than a long, improvised crossing.
Practical build direction
Build around mining, chopping and efficient camp-to-resource loops. Carry the tools needed for both jobs, but leave enough room for the materials that justify the trip. Defense helps when a work site is interrupted, yet it does not turn every encounter into a good trade.
Field note
The official profile describes Bob as a demolitionist, but this Wiki does not yet have verified explosive damage, radius or item data. Treat those details as unconfirmed until tested in game.
