Hold left Shift to sneak and right click on a solid block to open the dialog and select the item to craft. Use the second flint or small stone to remove all voxels marked in orange. Don't worry about making mistakes, the game prevents you from breaking the parts you need. Shaped tool heads are used to create weapons or finished tools when a stick (handle) is added using the crafting grid. | Hold left Shift to sneak and right click on a solid block to open the dialog and select the item to craft.

With clay in the active hand, press left Shift + Right click while pointing at the top of a block. This opens the clay forming dialog where the desired item can be selected. The first layer of the item to be crafted will appear on the selected surface. Clay items are built in layers by adding clay to fill green voxels, and removing clay from orange voxels. Pressing "F" with clay in the active hand allows the player to change the size/number of clay voxels filled or removed at a time. All items made using clay must be burned in a [[Firepit|firepit]] before use. Burned items turn into a dark color and have "burned" added to their name. Most of these items are used in conjunction with other game mechanics including molds for casting, vessels for storage, pots and bowls for cooking. | With clay in the active hand, press left Shift + Right click while pointing at the top of a block.

Casting | * Casting requires: [[Crucible|crucible]], [[Clay_Forming|molds]], fuel ([[peat bricks]], [[Coal|coal]], or [[Charcoal|charcoal]]), and [[Metal|metal]] ores. | ||
Copper and Bronze alloys can be cast into ingots or tool molds to make tool and weapon heads. Creating alloys involves combining the correct ratios of base metals to form new metals, which are stronger than their components. To cast metals or alloys, combine the ore nuggets in a crucible and heat them to liquid form. Liquid Copper and Bronze alloys are then poured from the crucible into fired molds created by the clay forming interface. Base metals and alloys can also be cast into [[Ingot_Mold|ingot or tool molds]]. Tool head and ingot molds generally require 100 units of metal to completely fill the mold, with the exception of the [[Anvil|anvil]]. Ingots can be worked using the smithing mechanic to create items including tool and weapon heads. | Copper and Bronze alloys can be cast into ingots or tool molds to make tool and weapon heads.

Heated ingots are placed on the [[anvil]] (shift + right click), which opens a dialog allowing the player to choose what to tool/weapon to craft. To smith the selected item, the metal from voxels within the current "ingot" shape must be moved into the finished item shape using the [[Hammer|hammer]]. Hitting the work item with the hammer in different modes allows the player to fill the empty blue voxels with metal and remove metal from filled orange voxels. Pressing 'F' with a [[Hammer|hammer]] in the active hand allows the player to change the tool mode. If the work item cools down too much, the item will need to be reheated in the forge. If there is not enough metal to fill all the blue voxels while forging an item material can be added by placing another heated ingot on top of the work item. | ||
