Flint is a type of stone which can be used in knapping to create tools. Due to how common it is, flint is a critical early game resource as it allows players to create basic stone tools.

Obtaining

Flint generates in all rock strata in the form of loose stones on the surface that can easily be picked up. Flint also generates inside some rock strata, and can be "mined" by hand.

Usage

• Flint axe head
• Flint hoe head
• Flint knife blade
• Flint shovel head
• Flint spear head

While several rock types may be used for stone tools, only flint can create arrowheads.

Flint tools have somewhat higher durability than tools made with other rock types, except obsidian, which has the highest durability of all.

Flint can be calcined in a Firepit or a Bloomery, and then ground in a Quern, then mixed with red or blue clay in order to form Fire clay. This process requires a high-temperature fuel (coal or charcoal); each piece of flint can transform 8 pieces of clay.
