To make stone tools, look around on the ground for loose stones of a type that can be used when knapping.  
<!--T:15-->
'''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 included in the starter guide: {{ll|axe|axe}}, {{ll|knife|knife}} and {{ll|spear|spear}}. The uses for items provided in this guide are not "all encompassing" but are targeted towards "early game" necessities and can be used in conjunction with the {{ll|Survival Guide - Your first day|Starter Guide}}.


* Types of stones that are useful for tool making include:
<!--T:16-->
** Andesite
As a new player, you may be tempted to gather everything you find in your toolbar, but this usually isn't a good strategy as you have only 10 storage slots to start out. Here's a list of the items that are best to have in the beginning of the game, especially when away from your base:
** Basalt
** Flint
** Granite
** Obsidian


For instructions on how to knap stones and flint, see the [[knapping]] page.
<!--T:17-->
[[File:ToolbarBeginnerGuide.png|Sticks, Knapping stones, a knife, an axe, blocks such as soil, torches, firewood, cattails, and two spots for food.]]


==Obtaining Sticks and Logs==
<!--T:18-->
If you find Obsidian or granite instead of flint, you can throw the stones as a ranged weapon as well.
As you gather more reeds, you can use ten of them to make a hand basket, giving you more inventory storage. Once you have more inventory, it's a good idea to keep a second knife, some firewood, and more food in it.
Clay, metals nuggets, and saplings should be left where you find them but noted in your map so you can get them later. (Plant the saplings to get them out of your inventory)


You can find sticks on the ground and use these to create your first tools. If there are no sticks on the ground, look around for "branchy leaves"
</translate>
__TOC__
<translate>


There are two type of leaves in the game, regular and branchy. Regular leaves have an extremely low chance of dropping sticks and saplings. You can break branchy leaves easily with your hands which is guaranteed to yield you sticks. However, if you want more sticks, you should use [[Shears|shears]] instead.
== Tool making == <!--T:1-->


Once you have made an [[Axe|axe]], you can fell an entire tree by chopping the log at the bottom of the tree. This will break the leaves too, however, your stick and sapling yields will be lower than if you use your shears on the leaves.
=== Loose stones === <!--T:20-->


<!--T:26-->
[[file:Flint.png|50px]] Loose stones are used to knap {{ll|Tools and Weapons|stone tools}}. For instructions on creating stone and flint tools, see the {{ll|knapping|knapping}} page.
Look around on the ground for loose stones of a type that can be used when {{ll|knapping|knapping}}. {{Breaking|Break}} it or {{Using|pick it up}} to collect.
* Types of stones that are useful for tool making include: '''Andesite, Basalt, Chert, Flint, Granite, Obsidian and Peridotite.'''


=== Sticks === <!--T:2-->


Here is a "Sticks and Logs tutorial" or "how to make basic tools and fell trees" video guide by SmileOnSpeedDial
<!--T:37-->
[[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, {{Breaking|break}} it or {{Using|pick it up}} to collect. 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.
 
== Essential crafting materials == <!--T:3-->
 
=== Wood === <!--T:21-->
 
<!--T:27-->
[[File:Log-oak.png|50px]] To collect logs, fell a tree using an {{ll|axe|axe}}, chop the base log. Logs can be converted to {{ll|firewood|firewood}} and used for other early crafting needs including a pan used in {{ll|panning|panning}} and the primitive weapon, {{ll|club|club}}. A few sticks might be dropped, but not many. Firewood is an important resource to make a {{ll|firepit|firepit}} for cooking foraged foods, and creating torches.
 
=== Grass === <!--T:4-->
 
<!--T:28-->
[[file:Grid drygrass.png|50px]] Use a {{ll|knife|knife}} to {{Breaking|harvest}} tall {{ll|grass|grass}}. Dry grass is used with firewood to make the {{ll|firepit|firepit}} but also to make the {{ll|bed|hay bed}}.
 
=== Reeds/Cattails === <!--T:5-->
 
<!--T:29-->
[[file:Grid Cattail tops.png|50px]] Use a {{ll|knife|knife}} to {{Breaking|harvest}} {{ll|reed|cattails tops}}. {{Breaking}} the block with an empty hand allows players to collect the cattail tops, but it destroys the plant. Reeds are used to craft the simplest portable containers, the {{ll|hand basket|hand basket}} to expand the player's inventory. Combined with {{ll|Flower|horsetail}}, they will make useful {{ll|Healing|poultices}} to heal you.
 
== Gathering foraged food == <!--T:6-->
 
<!--T:22-->
Different plants are generated in different climatic regions including wild crops, berry bushes, cactus, and mushrooms. Anything that can be {{Using|eaten}} raw is useful for maintaining the player's {{ll|satiety|satiety}} early game.
 
=== Crops === <!--T:7-->
 
<!--T:30-->
[[file:Crop-flax.png|50px]] Wild crops can be harvested {{Breaking|using}} an empty hand for both the seeds used in {{ll|farming|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 {{Using|eaten}} raw.
 
=== Berry bushes === <!--T:19-->
 
<!--T:31-->
[[file:Berrybush red currant ripe.png|50px]] Berry bushes grow in temperate and colder climates. Ripe {{ll|Berry Bushes|berry bushes}} can be {{Using|harvested}} with bare hands to collect berries. {{Breaking|Break}} the bush to collect it. Berries can also be {{Using|eaten}} raw.
 
=== Mushrooms === <!--T:8-->
 
<!--T:32-->
[[file:Grid mushroom bolete.png|50px]] Mushrooms are naturally generated in colder, wetter climatic regions. {{Breaking}} the block with an empty hand allows players to collect the mushrooms. Mushrooms can be {{Breaking|harvested}} faster using a [[knife|knife]]. Over time, the mushrooms will respawn. (''Don't eat the red ones'')
 
=== Saguaro === <!--T:9-->
 
<!--T:33-->
[[file:Fruit-saguaro.png|50px]] Saguaro or cactus fruit are naturally generated in arid or desert climatic regions. Breaking the cactus block {{Breaking|using}} an empty hand allows players to collect the fruits, but the tops will not regrow.  Fruits can be selectively {{Breaking|harvested}} with a {{ll|knife|knife}}. Over time, the fruit will regenerate.
 
== Hunting wild animals == <!--T:10-->
 
<!--T:23-->
Any animal can be killed and butchered for meat using a {{ll|knife|knife}}. {{SneakClick|Use}} a {{ll|knife|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 {{ll|satiety|satiety}} when food storage is otherwise low.
 
=== Meat === <!--T:11-->
 
<!--T:34-->
[[file:Grid redmeat raw.png|50px]] There are three types of meat: Red meat from Sheep, Pigs and Hares; poultry from chickens; and Bush Meat, from Wolves, Hyenas and Foxes. All meat must be cooked before eating, but can be roasted using a {{ll|firepit|firepit}}.
 
=== Fat === <!--T:25-->
 
<!--T:35-->
[[file:Grid Fat.png|50px]] Lumps of fat can be used as fuel in a firepit, eaten raw as a source of protein, or used with a raw hide to create a {{ll|pelt|pelt}}.
 
=== Hides === <!--T:12-->
 
<!--T:36-->
[[file:Grid Raw hide.png|50px]] Raw Hides can be oiled with fat to create pelts and with reeds, to create a {{ll|hunter's backpack|hunter's backpack}} and expand the player's inventory.
