==Obtaining Stones==
Foraging for tool making materials, foods, and other resources is important in the early stages of the game. Most gathering does not require any specialized tools, or can be accomplished using stone tools.
__TOC__
==Tool Making==
===Loose Stones===
Loose stones are used to knap [[Tools and Weapons|stone tools]]. For instructions on creating stone and flint tools, see the [[knapping]] page.
Look around on the ground for loose stones of a type that can be used when [[knapping]]. To collect, break using the left mouse button.
* Types of stones that are useful for tool making include: '''Andesite, Basalt, Flint, Granite, Obsidian and Peridotite.'''


To make stone tools, look around on the ground for loose stones of a type that can be used when knapping.  
===Sticks===
Sticks are used to create torches and tools by adding handles to stone tool heads.
Players can find sticks on the ground (left mouse button to break). If there are no sticks on the ground, look around for "leaves". There are two type of leaves in the game, regular and branchy. Regular leaves have an extremely low chance of dropping sticks and saplings. Branchy leaves can be broken without tools and are guaranteed to yield sticks.  


* Types of stones that are useful for tool making include:
===Wood===
** Andesite
Felling an entire tree using an [[axe]] and chopping the log at the bottom of the tree will provide logs for [[firewood]] and other early crafting needs. A few sticks might be dropped, but not many. Firewood is an important resource to make a [[firepit]] for cooking foraged foods, and creating torches.
** Basalt
** Flint
** Granite
** Obsidian


For instructions on how to knap stones and flint, see the [[knapping]] page.
===Grass===
With a flint knife, cut grass using left mouse button. Dry grass is used with firewood to make the [[firepit]] but also to make the [[bed|Hay bed]].

There are two type of leaves in the game, regular and branchy. Regular leaves have an extremely low chance of dropping sticks and saplings. Branchy leaves can be broken with only a player's hands which is guaranteed to yield you sticks. However, using [[Shears|shears]] increases the harvest of sticks.
 
Felling an entire tree using an [[Axe|axe]] and chopping the log at the bottom of the tree will break the leaves too. however stick and sapling yields will be lower than if shears are used on the leaves.
