Frequently Asked Questions

How do you chop your first tree in Kindling Age?

Craft Flint into four Flint Flakes, make a Flint Knife with a Stick to cut wild plants for Plant Fiber, twist three Plant Fibers into Fiber Cord, and bind two Flint Flakes, a Stick, and Fiber Cord into a Flint Hatchet.

Either leave a Wet Clay Pot outdoors to sun-dry naturally over time, or cure it faster over heat using a Campfire or Furnace.

How do you move water before crafting iron buckets?
