Creation

There are three types of ceramic blocks players can craft: Hardened Clay, Clay brick, and Clay Shingles blocks. All of these types of blocks are created using combinations including the firepit, the clay forming mechanic, and the crafting grid.

Hardened Clay

Hardened clay blocks require clay, a firepit and fuel to create.

  • Block Shapes: Only Full blocks can be created. Hardened Clay slabs and stairs cannot be created.
  • Material Variant: Any clay variant can be used to craft these blocks.
  • Appearance: The type of materials used in crafting affects the appearance of the block.

Crafting

Place 8x blue clay or fire clay into the input slot of the firepit and heat the clay to 300 C using the appropriate fuel. As the clay heats, hardened blocks will be produced and appear in the firepit output slot.

Clay Brick

Clay Brick blocks require clay, mortar, a firepit and fuel to create.

  • Block Shapes: Three variants can be created, Brick Blocks, Brick Slabs (half-block), Brick Stairs and a "decorative" chimney block.
  • Material Variant: Any clay variant can be used to craft these blocks.
  • Appearance: The type of materials used in crafting affects the appearance of the block.

Blocks are crafted in two stages, the bricks are formed and fired, second fired bricks are assembled to form blocks.

Crafting Bricks

To craft brick blocks, bricks of the appropriate clay type must be formed in the crafting grid and burned in the fire pit, as other clay items.

Usage

Building Component

Ceramic Blocks are primarily used to create player structures. Shingles Blocks particularly, have a texture reminiscent of roofing. Hardened ceramic blocks are handy in early stages of the game, as the materials required to craft these blocks can be gathered using simple stone tools.
