Find flint or hard stones (basalt, granite, andesite, obsidian or peridotite). <code>Sneak + Right click</code> on solid ground to create a knapping surface. Select what tool you want to make. We recommend an Axe and a Knife. Chip away the orange boxes until all are gone. You now have a tool head, combine with a stick to create the actual tool.
Find flint or hard stones (basalt, granite, andesite, obsidian or peridotite). <code>Sneak + Right click</code> on solid ground to create a knapping surface. Select what tool you want to make from the menu. We recommend an Axe and a Knife. Using a stone in your active hand, left click on the orange boxes to remove them from the stone tool you are making, which will create a finished blade or tool head. When you remove the last orange box, the completed tool head will transfer to your hotbar. Press E to open your inventory and access your crafting grid. In the grid, combine the stone tool blade with a stick to create the actual tool.


=== Player Hotbar and Inventory ===
=== Player Inventory ===


Your hotbar contains a single left hand slot, 10 right hand slots and 4 inventory slots. You can hold items in your left hand. It's a good idea to move your torch to your left hand so that you have a light source. Your inventory can only contain 10 items at any given time (essentially your hotbar is your inventory) until you add containers to your 4 inventory slots. You only have 10 inventory slots in the beginning (your hotbar). For starters, expand your inventory with [[Crafting_Recipes#Portable_Containers|mobile baskets]]. You need to harvest reeds which like to grow near lakes.

Be aware that in Vintage Story, different weapons have different ranges. Use the knapping system to craft a spearhead or two. Combine the stone spear head with sticks to craft the spear. Spears are the strongest long range weapon in the stone age, but break quickly. In an emergency you can use knives, axes, or just plain sticks as weapons. You can also throw stones at mobs.
Be aware that in Vintage Story, hostile mobs exist. To protect yourself, craft stone weapons using the knapping system. Combine the stone spearhead you made by knapping with sticks in your crafting grid to craft the spear. Different weapons have different ranges. Spears are the strongest long range weapon in the stone age, but break quickly. Knives, axes, or just plain sticks can all be used as weapons, but these have shorter ranges than the spear. In an emergency, you can also throw stones at mobs.
