Time to make your first tools! Knapping is one of the earliest types of crafting available to the player, which allows them to make primitive tools and weapons out of stone.
Acquiring Stones
Loose stones, flint and obsidian can be found on the ground when foraging. You can collect them by using .
By order of resulting tool strength, the best stones for knapping are: Obsidian > Flint > All other stone types.
Knappable stones
Only certain materials can be used to craft tool and weapon heads:
Shaping Stones
- To start knapping, you need at least 2 stones: at least 1 of the knappable stones (flint, granite, andesite, chert, basalt, peridotite or obsidian), and any other stone. While holding the knappable stone, Sneak + on the ground. If you’re using flint, you will begin knapping right away. With other stones, you have to place one stone one the ground first and on it with the stone in your hand.
- After doing this, a dialog box will show up, letting you choose what tool head you want to make by clicking on it.
- Once you've selected a tool, a 10x10 flat grid of voxels will appear on the ground, some of them highlighted with an orange outline. While holding another stone, knap away voxels either by holding down or clicking at your own pace, until no highlighted voxel remains. You can break away groups of voxels by disconnecting them from the main work piece. Consider sitting down using G to get closer to the crafting surface. If you find the free camera distracting while knapping, you can open any dialog box (such as the chat) or hold down Alt to unlock the free mouse.
- Once you're done you will receive your tool head.
Protip:
* The stone used to remove voxels doesn't need to be of the same or even a knappable material (e.g. sandstone, conglomerate, etc.). * Two players can work on knapping the same piece to complete a tool head faster. When the tool head is completed, it will jump into the inventory of the player who removes the last voxel. |
Finishing the Tool
Once you're done and received your tool head, place it into the crafting grid in your inventory (E) with a stick or bone to receive your finished tool. With flint, players can make an axe, hoe, knife, shovel, spear and arrowheads. With any other stone, players can make all of the tools listed above except arrowheads. Tool heads made of flint or obsidian tend to last longer than counterparts made of andesite, basalt, chert, granite, or peridotite; and tools with a bone handle tend to have 10 points of extra durability
Notes
- Don't worry about making mistakes, the game prevents players from breaking the parts required to shape the tool.
