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.'''

[[file:Grid_Stick.png|50px]]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.  

[[file:Grid drygrass.png|50px]] With a flint [[knife]], harvest tall [[grass]] using left mouse button. Dry grass is used with firewood to make the [[firepit]] but also to make the [[bed|Hay bed]].

[[file:Grid Cattail tops.png|50px]] With a flint [[knife]], harvest [[cattail]] tops from [[Cooper's Reed (Cattail)]] using left mouse button. Breaking the block using left mouse button with an empty hand allows players to collect the cattail tops, but the destroys the plant. Reeds are used to craft the simplest portable containers, the [[containers#portable containers|handbasket]] to expand the player's inventory.

Different plants are generated in different climatic regions including wild crops, berry bushes, cactus, and mushrooms. Anything that can be eaten raw is useful for maintaining the player's [[satiety]] early game.

[[file:Crop-flax.png|50px]] Wild crops can be harvested using left mouse button and an empty hand for both the seeds used in [[farming]] and edibles including beans, grains and root vegetables. A crop that is not mature won't provide as many edibles, but any of these foods can be eaten raw.

[[file:Berrybush red currant ripe.png|50px]] Berry bushes grow in temperate and colder climates. Ripe [[Berry Bushes|berry bushes]] can be harvested using right mouse button to collect berries. Using the left mouse button allows players to collect the bushes. Berries can also be eaten raw.

[[file:Grid mushroom bolete.png|50px]] Mushrooms are naturally generated in colder, wetter climatic regions. Breaking the block using left mouse button with an empty hand allows players to collect the mushrooms, but the tops will not regrow.  Mushrooms can be selectively harvested using left mouse button and a [[knife]] to collect only the tops. Over time, the tops will regenerate. (''Don't eat the red ones'')

[[file:Fruit saguaro.png|50px]] Saguaro or cactus fruit are naturally generated in arid or desert climatic regions. Breaking the cactus block using left mouse button with an empty hand allows players to collect the fruits, but the tops will not regrow.  Fruits can be selectively harvested using left mouse button and a [[knife]]. Over time, the fruit will regenerate.  

Any animal can be killed and butchered for meat using a [[knife]]. Sneak and hold right mouse button with a [[knife]] in the active hand to harvest animal products. When the butchering process is complete, a small window will open that contains all the animal products for collection. Hunting wild animals in the winter can be a useful way to maintain [[satiety]] when food storage is otherwise low.
