__TOC__

==Natural Generation==

[[File:Claydeposits.png|300px|right|Clay deposit.]]
'''Clay''' is a terrain block variant created during world generation. Clay deposits are found in any area with high enough precipitation (so not deserts) and high enough temperature (so not the arctic). They can be found at any elevation. You may notice them on the map as semi-circular spots of a slightly different color from surrounding grass. The deposits are disc-shaped and that disc follows surface deformations. The thickness of the disc can vary between 2 and 4 blocks.

{{Climate
|MinRain=0.27
|MinTemp=-10

=== Clay Types ===

There are two type of clay blocks: '''blue clay''' (appears pale blue) and '''fire clay''' (appears pale pink/beige). Both blue clay and fire clay are found in the same climate. Blue clay is 5 times more frequent than fire clay but fire clay has slightly larger deposits (15 blocs radius against 13 blocks radius in average).

There are also items made out of '''brown clay''' and '''red clay'''. But those are only available by purchasing them from {{ll|Trading#Building_Materials|Traders (Building Materials)}} or by finding them in {{ll|Ruin|ruins}}.

=== Grass Variants ===

Clay blocks have grass coverage variants and may appear as "bare clay" with a surface colored according to the clay type (no grass), or a green top surface, aka "grass block". Depending on climactic conditions, grass coverage appears sparse (patchy green) on clay blocks. Tall grass may also grow/spawn on "grass" blocks.

==Obtention==

=== Harvesting ===

Clay blocks may be removed by {{Breaking|breaking}} with an empty hand or using any tool, though a {{ll|Shovel|shovel}} is a faster method to harvest clay blocks. When broken, clay blocks drop 4-5 units of clay, which stack to 64 and may be carried in player inventory, or stored in stationary containers. Clay blocks may NOT be harvested intact and replaced elsewhere.

===Looting===

Stacks of clay are sometimes found in {{ll|Cracked vessel|cracked vessels (forage)}} in {{ll|Ruin|ruins}}.

== Usage ==

=== Blue Clay ===

Blue clay can be used to create:

=== Fire Clay ===

Fire clay can replace blue clay for the creation of all the items from the previous section. However, only fire clay can be used to make:
*{{Icon link|Clayoven-north.png|Special:MyLanguage/Clay oven|Clay oven}}
*{{Icon link|Burnedbrick-fire.png|Special:MyLanguage/Brick_blocks#Single_brick|Fire clay brick}} that is required to build the {{ll|Bloomery|bloomery}} for ironmaking.
*{{Icon link|refractorybrick-fired-tier1.png|Special:MyLanguage/Steel making#Creating_Refractory_Brick|Tier 1-3 refractory brick}} that is required to build the cementation furnace for {{ll|Steel making|steelmaking}}.

== Storage ==

Clay blocks technically stack to 64 but they cannot be obtained through normal survival gameplay.
Clay bits can stack up to 64.
